Adobe Premier Pro, video exporting and youtube.

Hey all, i hope this is in the right forum really.

I have a few questions about Adobe Premier Pro, video exporting and youtube.

A) Adobe Premier Pro, starts by using multicore (roughly 80% of it, fair dooes) but then about 1 minute later it really only needs 1 core (im working with quad here) so it just sits at 20% and i eventually decide to stick it on 1 thread, if it gets a bit stuck, i stick it on 2 so it has a bit more freeway to work. Anyone know why this is happening?

B) I know that video coding is pretty hard on the size of the file, i want a 22 minute video to go on youtube, so i will have to split in intervals of, say 8 minutes. I want to know if i can set Premier Pro to split at certain points?

C) What would be the best method of compression for videos, but at the same time have the best possible quality for a compressed video, i know that i have 100megs (youtube's limits) per video (I think) so i want the 3 files to fit.

I really appreciate anyone that can answer my questions.
Thanks

Found out, multicore strangely enough depends on the codec??

 

...
Just encode your video to h.264. It's multi-core compatible and it's the preferred format for youtube.

Also.. youtube allows 1GB uploads.

I feel your pain though for only able to use 1 core on your quad. I wish I have like octacore. Right now, i'm rendering a 15 seconds section of my video in premiere pro, So far, all 4 cores are 100% used for over 20 minutes now. So damn slow.

 

My vid is now encoding at 96% h.264 is not available in premiere pro for me :S? Need to find the codec for h.264.

Video is encoding 8 minutes for 22 minutes of video, so quite fast. Trying to aquire a full set of h264 codecs.

Got a codec, only sat on 55% CPU usage at 15 minutes per encode

Appreciate the help jack, didnt know about youtube allowing that much, but on my upload, the smaller the better .

 

When you export the file, use the adobe media encoder to encode. H.264 codec is in there.
