Premiere Pro - Export Settings & Presets

About the course

When it comes to turning your raw footage into a professional looking video, Premiere Pro is the industry-leading video editing software. But with its plethora of settings and presets, one of the questions I'm often asked is "What are the best settings when exporting my final video?". More often than not when exporting your project to the final video, you'll probably want the best possible quality video while maintaining as small a file size as possible so that the video can be streamed smoothly online. In this FREE Premiere Pro - Export Settings & Presets mini course I'll be showing you exactly how you can do this.

What will I learn?

You will learn which settings and presets to use when it comes to exporting your project to a final video. You'll learn the basic video settings and the best formats to render your video, along with some more advanced features such as frame rate and bit rate. By the end of the course you'll be able to render your own great quality videos while ensuring that they are optimised for uploading and smooth playback on the web.

In this section we'll take a look at the Viewing Area within export settings. This is where you can toggle between viewing the original source and the final output. You can also adjust the in and out points of your video, fix the aspect ratio or crop.

In  Export Settings we'll take a look at some formats and existing presets,  along with how to create and save your own custom presets

In this video we'll take a look at some of the basic video settings, including frame rate and aspect ratio.

Bitrate can play a huge part in optimising your video. In this section we'll take a look at when you should use a high or low bitrate, and the difference between selecting Constant Bitrate and Variable Bitrate and which you should use depending on your video.

In this video we'll look at some further settings, including why it may not be worth selecting the option Use maximum Render Quality. We'll then take a look at the benefits of queuing your output for render in Adobe Media Encoder, rather than simply hitting the Export button.

In this final section of the course we'll cover how to render multiple formats simultanously from the same source within Adobe Media Encoder.

This brings us to the end of this mini course Premiere Pro - Export Settings & Presets. Some of things we covered during the course are:

• Presets

There may be times when editing video that we need to upscale a video clip to a higher resolution. In this short bonus tutorial I explain how to do this in Premiere Pro with virtually no loss of quality, using the Detail-preserving Upscale effect in After Effects via Dynamic Link.
