Export options
When you complete a project you face a number of export choices:
- Select a single frame, a series of frames, a clip, or an entire sequence.
- Choose audio-only, video-only or full audio/video output.
- Export directly to videotape, create a file for viewing on a PC or the Internet, or put your project on a DVD with or without a complete set of menus, buttons and other DVD features.
- Any files you choose to create can be at the same visual quality and data rate as your original media, or they can be compressed.
- Within each of those export formats there are many other choices: frame size, frame rate, data rate, and audio and video compression techniques.
- You can use exported project files for further editing, in presentations, as streaming media for Internet and other networks, or as sequences of images to create animations.
Checking out export options
1. | Take a look at the Lesson 17 Intro video. |
2. | Open Premiere Pro to Lesson 17. |
3. | Click somewhere in the Timeline to select it and its single sequence (otherwise Premiere Pro will not present Export as an option in the File Menu). |
4. | Select File > Export. |
- Movie Create Windows AVI or Apple QuickTime desktop video files, or sequences of still images.
- Frame Convert a selected frame into a still image using one of four formats:
BMP, GIF, Targa, or TIFF. - Audio Record an audio-only file in one of three formats: WAV, AVI, or QuickTime.
- Title Since Premiere Pro stores Titler-created objects in the project file, the only way to use the same title in more than one project is to export it as a file. To use this option you need to select a title in the Project panel.
- Export to Tape Transfer your project to videotape.
- Export to DVD Burn your Premiere Pro project directly to a DVD.
- Export to EDL Create an edit decision list to take your project to a production studio for further editing.
- Adobe Media Encoder Transcode your project or a segment into one of four high-end file formats: MPEG, Windows Media, RealMedia, or QuickTime. Use these for Web streaming video or, in the case of MPEG, to play on DVDs.
