Instructor: Let's go through some of those export options
so that you understand what's going on.
So again, if you set your in and out points for an export,
then go up to File > Export Media,
it will open up the Export module.
On the left side, we have our source,
and you can actually adjustment the in and out point
of your export down here on this timeline,
like so, just by dragging,
or down here you have this source range,
and you can choose the sequence in and out points
that you set on your timeline before.
You can do the entire sequence, or your work area,
which, if you go back to your timeline
and then you click this little three-lined button
right here and say Work Area Bar,
this is another bar you can use actually,
which comes in handy, to limit yourself.
Say you have a project that needs to be 30 seconds.
You could put this right at the 30-second mark,
and that's where you'll know, as you work,
you have to end right there,
and then back in your export settings,
if I go Command + M on Control + M if you're on a PC,
you can change it to that work area.
Or you could just go and leave it on Sequence In and Out.
That's typically what I do.
So going back to the export settings on the right side,
if you want to export it just at the settings
of your sequence that you imported,
you can just click this Match Sequence Settings button
and that's going to export it at the settings
of your sequence, and so that might be a good thing
if you are quickly exporting something for preview purposes.
Typically, I change the format, though.
Under Format, you have H264,
and then all kinds of other formats, from QuickTime to MPEG2
to just audio files, MP3.
There's also AIFF, waveform.
For most purposes, you're going to want to use H264.
It's just the go-to quality for most video makers now
when you are posting online videos.
Later on we'll learn about the QuickTime setting
when you're exporting a full resolution file,
but for us, we're just going to stick to H264.
We mentioned all of these presets over here.
You can create presets, and I also did that.
See this YT Quick 1080?
It's the YouTube quick 1080 settings
that I use, which basically sets everything,
the target bitrate, the maximum bitrate,
but it also matches the sequence settings
for whatever sequence I'm exporting.
And you can create new presets
by changing all the settings down here
and then clicking this button right here to save it.
It's not going to let me because I am on a preset right now,
but say I change this frame rate to 29.97,
and then I say Save Preset,
I could save this as the YouTube Quick 1080 29.97 preset.
We saw here, this is the output name.
Clicking that will allow you to change
the title of your video and where you save it.
If you just wanna export the audio for some reason,
you can do that, or just the video.
This summary gives us all of the information
about our output and our source.
And then down here, we have different tabs.
Over on the left, we have different effects.
You can do things like apply lookup tables or Lumetri Looks,
which is a preset effect that we'll go over
in another future lesson.
You can add image overlays like a watermark,
name overlays, time code overlays,
things that are more for professional video editors to use.
The video tab, this is what we saw before
where we have our settings for the size of our export.
So we can change the size to whatever we want, typically.
We are looking at a 16 by nine frame,
so 1280 by 720 is an HD format, 1920 by 1080.
And with this little button right here locked,
it's going to lock the width and height aspect ratio.
So if I uncheck that, I can make this a perfect square
if I do 1,000 by 1,000 pixels,
but that's not going to look good
because it's actually going to squeeze this into a square.
So we wanna watch the actual aspect ratio
of our project, 16 by 9.
Frame rate, 29.97.
Sometimes you might be exporting for different places.
On TV, you might need to use 29.97 or 59.94,
or you might want to just match
the frame rate of what you shot, 23.976.
Field Order comes from how your video
is actually output on a screen.
Actually your video is broken down into lots of lines,
so if your height is 1080, it's 1,080 lines,
and it's just the way that it appears.
And so for most cases, we're just going to use Progressive.
So just leave that as Progressive.
Same with the aspect.
Square pixels is generally what you want to check,
unless there is a specific case
and someone asks you to export at these other options,
depending on if you are projecting it
with a certain type of projector or something like that.
TV Standard, PAL versus NTSC.
As it says when you hover over this, US and Japan use NTSC;
Europe and Asia use PAL.
It's just the way that it's been for a long time.
So if you're watching this and you're in Europe,
you're probably going to be shooting and exporting in PAL.
Leave Profile and Level at Main and 4.1.
We saw this Render at Maximum Depth.
It's really interesting that this is an option.
I don't know why Premiere Pro doesn't automatically render
at maximum depth, so I just check that to make sure
that it has the best export quality.
Bitrate Settings.
This is what really affects the size of your file.
Bitrate encoding, you have options
CBR, VBR, 1 pass, and VBR 2 pass.
Choose between VBR 1 pass and 2 pass.
1 pass will make your export quicker,
but two passes means
it actually goes through the export twice.
It goes through all of the frames of your video twice,
and it makes the colours and everything
look a little bit better.
The Target Bitrate and the Max Bitrate.
The bitrate is basically how much information,
in terms of file size, is happening per second.
So your target would be 16 megabits per second.
Your max is how much it's limited to.
So the max will be 16.
Generally, these two are the same.
You could lower this if you want,
and if you lower the target bitrate,
you'll see down here the estimated file size decreases.
So if you need to export a small file size,
you can just lower it down here.
Once you get past 16, when you are exporting a 1920 by 1080
film or video, there's no real reason to increase
the target bitrate past 16, because it's not actually
going to make your video look better.
Each size has a specific bitrate
that is sort of the maximum bitrate that matters
for that size of video, and 16 is about that
for a 1920 by 1080.
There's these other tabs like here.
So like audio, you have different audio formats.
If you know you have to export Dolby Digital.
If you're playing it in a big theatre
that requires Dolby Digital, that's an option.
For us, we're just going to leave it at AAC,
and down here, the audio settings,
we're leaving the sample rate at 40,000 hertz.
You might need it to be 44100 hertz, 32,000 hertz,
but for most of our projects, just leave it at 40,000.
Channels, Stereo, unless you want to max your mix mono,
you can, but then that's going to just make the same
exact sound come from both the left and right speakers.
Stereo, if you have things on left and right speakers,
it's a little bit different.
If you recorded your audio in stereo,
it's going to export at stereo, or 5.1 surround sound.
Audio quality, just leave that at high.
For audio bitrate, leave this at 320, the highest,
kilobits per second.
So the higher the bitrate, the higher the quality,
so just leave that at the highest.
Multiplexer, Captions, Publish,
these are just some more advanced options,
like if you wanna add captions to
or if you have created captions in Premiere Pro
and you want to export them as a specific file,
or if you want to publish directly to things like Facebook,
YouTube, Vimeo, or Adobe Creative Cloud, you can do that.
You just have to sign into your accounts to do so.
And then down below, we saw this Use Maximum Render Quality.
Again, it's just an extra block you have to click.
I suggest clicking to make sure that it is the best quality,
and then the other one I just wanna mention quickly
is this Import into project.
If you want the export to be imported into your project
automatically, you can just import it with that.
Last time we just clicked this Export button,
and it exported straight from Premiere Pro,
but you can click this Queue button,
and it will open up the export in Adobe Media Encoder.
What this allows us to do is export in the background
while we continue to work in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Sometimes, I'm batch editing a lot of projects
at one time, and so I want to export a long project,
and sometimes it's not just a one-minute project
that takes a couple minutes.
Maybe it's a 30-minute documentary
or a two-hour long event that I'm editing,
and I'll want to start the export but be able to continue
to edit other projects or different versions
of the same project right within Premiere Pro.
So I do that Queue option,
and it opens it up in Adobe Media Encoder.
Here, we can go through and change our export settings.
They also have presets on the right-hand side as well.
On the left, you have your H264 settings option,
and if you click that, it brings us back here
to this window where you can change all of your settings.
The Preset, if you click that, again, it goes back here.
There are different presets that you can choose
straight from Adobe Media Encoder, like we saw before,
and the Output File, you click that
to choose where you want to save it.
Then to start this, you can just press this Start Queue,
and the reason why it's a queue
is because you can actually add more projects to this.
For example, when I'm editing a course,
I often edit multiple lessons at once.
So I'll have 10 lessons that I want to export.
So I'll just be editing them in Premiere Pro
and then export them and add them to the queue
and continue editing while all of them export.
So you can see here, after I press the button,
it starts to export,
and we are on our way to having a great project exported.
If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
There's also lots of great resources on Adobe's website
on the different codecs, the different formats
that would take too long to explain in a video,
but I will be glad to help point you in the right direction
if you need any help.
Thanks for watching,
and we'll see you in another video.
