I want to have a bigger size with my videos but every time i increase the resolution higher, my videos come out to be like 500mb... how can i get bigger video resolution(not blurry) to where it is not such a big file?

well for a start it would help if you could tell us what format you're working in, what program you're using to encode it and what you're encoding it from...that last one may be un-neccesary.

but still, tell us this and we might be able to help, otherwise how are we supposed to know what to do?

oh... sry... my bad...i was in a hurry.

I am using adobe premiere 6.0 and am about to save it as a movie. I have tryed the available presets and every time i save it as a movie with
NTSC 640 by 480 windows or NTSC 720 by 480 with either one the file size ends up to big. Which preset should i use or should i customize my own?

Oh crap! I didn't see those posts when I posted.

In that case: you SHOULD be exporting huge, lossless (read: HuffYUV) files from Premiere. This is NOT going to be the copy you distribute; that gets made later. The links I just posted were for compressing such a file for distribution.

Follow this page for instructions for exporting from Premiere 6:

Specifically, the resolution at which you export should be the same as the resolution your project's set to.

Just compress the file.

Try to save it as " Microsoft AVI " and then you should be able to compress it in video settings.

That's all you need to know.

... What part of "You SHOULD be exporting huge, lossless (read: HuffYUV) files from Premiere. This is NOT going to be the copy you distribute." don't you understand?

Premiere sucks at resizing and post-processing, especially compared to the wonderful software that is AVISynth. And it's always good to have a lossless master copy around.

. Primiere has is bad points but so does AiST's Extreme 4.0; however
neither of these are video finishing softwares - just Editors!
. How you get from the Editing Phase of your work to the final AMV
is not as important as a Great Opinion left by the ones who have seen the Finished
AMV itself.
