Recommended settings for video content

When you export your video from Adobe Media Encoder (when using Premiere) or Compressor (if using FinalCut Pro), choose the following settings:

File type:

MPEG4 (.mp4) or QuickTime (.mov)

Video:

Encoding: h.264
Dimensions: 512px x 288px
Field order: progressive (no fields)
Pixel aspect ratio: 1:1 square pixels
Level: 3 or 3.1
Target bitrate: 0.8mbps
Maximum bitrate: 2.0mbps

Audio:

Encoding: AAC
Bitrate: 128kbps

If you use these settings, it will keep the file size relatively small while maintaining decent image and sound quality, meaning you can tick “Video is Flash-ready” on the video upload page. This will allow the video to be played straight away, with no waiting while it gets processed by the site.

If you have any issues, email [email protected] for assistance.
