I'm using Premier Elements to watermark and edit videos for upload to a popular social networking site and I am having trouble getting the file sizes down far enough to upload and still have acceptable quality.
The worst offender in overall quality is that no matter how I choose to compress the original files they are being converted to .FLVs upon upload for playback in the social networking sites player.
Does using the same codec to originally compress the video after watermarking as the social networking site will use to re-encode it prevent any generational loss or artifacting? Or is there any particular codec that responds better to being re-encoded into a .FLV?
