Editing Tools

We're using the Adobe suite for editing. If you're helping with editing, make sure you have access to this! Premiere pro, Audition, and After Effects. It'll be useful to have a good grip on editing with Premiere before Friday. We can help you get these tools if you don't already have them.

  • Video Format: 'PAL' (for those shooting on analogue or webcam systems your entry must be output at 25fps (frames per second), and be set within a 16:9 frame.
  • Video Bitrate: Variable bit rate encoding approximately 10 megabits per second.
    • 1920 x 1080: 10 megabits per second (i.e 10mb/s or 10000 kb/s)

Premiere and Media Encoder have this as a preset we can use -> H.264 and then use the Youtube 1080p preset.
