How to export a video from ADOBE PREMIER PRO CC SOFTWARE
When you have your edit completed and ready for delivery, there is only one step left – exporting for delivery. Exporting a finished video with Premiere Pro is an absolute essential skill that is required to finish any edit.
This will bring up your export settings window. In this window, you’ll select your desired settings or presets for the video before sending it to Media Encoder for exporting.
The first thing to think about when exporting a video is to think about where the video will be delivered and how it will be viewed. Are you going to upload to Youtube and Vimeo? Are you going to burn it to a DVD? Are you going to give the client a highly compressed rough copy to watch on their phone? The delivery destination is very important on deciding what the settings need to be. There are loads of useful presets already pre-installed with Premiere Pro and Media Encoder. You can use these presets to quickly choose settings for your exported file.
If you want to bypass these custom settings and export with the EXACT settings of your sequence, you can select “match sequence settings” at the top. That will change your export settings to exactly match your sequence settings, although I don’t recommend this because most delivery destinations require codecs other than your common editing or intermediate codec.
Selecting “Queue” will send you to Media Encoder with the sequence added to a queue. Then, all you have to do is press the green play button at the top to start the export. This is good if you want to add multiple Premiere Pro sequences to export at the same time. This also allows you to continue working in Premiere Pro while Media Encoder exports in the background. I usually use this method of exporting.
Selecting “Export” simply exports the sequence right from that window. You will not be able to use Premiere Pro while it is exporting this way.
That’s it! You just exported your finished video.
If you find yourself using a custom setting frequently, you can save your export settings as a new preset. Click the “save preset” button next to the preset dropdown in the export window. You can then name the preset whatever you like. Now, you can use that saved preset in the future.
