BEST R3D EXPORT SETTINGS ON PREMIERE PRO CC

[Jesus Ibarra]

Hey guys,

Just wondering what are the best export settings to export a cut on Premiere Pro CC for like a music video that's going to Youtube (Footage was shot on 5k on a Scarlet-W). I've been working directly with the 5K R3D Files on my PPCC Project (at 1/4th the resolution to help my computer) but haven't found what are the best codec or settings to export it to the best possible quality of the footage, so far my tests have been pretty lame and doesn't look as good as most Raven/Scarlet-W Vids I've seen on youtube. Could anyone help with this?

Thanks a lot!

Here are a few good examples of videos that I think look amazing on youtube:

I think lighting and final color correction will have a far greater effect than anything, including the camera or the codec.

There are some who believe that rendering at full-res, then using an outboard program to do the compression that gives you more control over the settings. YouTube's own recommended settings are here:
