Getting started
Premiere Pro offers a full array of export optionsmethods to record your projects to videotape, convert them into files, or burn them to DVDs.Recording to videotape is straightforward while file creation has many more options. You can record only the audio portion of your project, convert a video segment or entire project into one of several standard (but somewhat dated) PC file formats, or create still frames, sequences of still frames, or animation files.Of greater relevance are the higher-level video encoding formats available in the Adobe Media Encoder. You'll use that powerful tool to create projects to post to a Web site, for multimedia CD-ROMs, to create DVD movies and for wide-screen and high-definition videos. In all instances, you can adjust various settings to change quality and adjust the resulting file size, generally as a means to streamline playback.
