As well as exporting to a media file, there's a good chance you'll want to share your creative work on a social media platform. Double-click on it to open it in Premiere Pro. You'll find this project file with the media associated with this lesson. But much of the time, choosing to match your source will work.įor this lesson, I'm using the 10_02 Share with social media.prproj file. As your familiarity with media technology grows, you may find a need for the more advanced options in those menus. Here is the new file that's being created. And if you're happy with the settings, you can click Export and the file will be created. I'll put that in my Media folder and I'll click Save. And it brings up a regular Save As dialog. If I make an H.264 file, it's actually something you can click on to specify where this new file is going to be stored. Although this just looks like a filename, you can see there ".mp4" is the type of file I'm going to make.
The second important bit of this dialog is the Output Name. By choosing to match my Source, I make sure that those important settings are correct. And of course, they will because, again if I go back to my Preset, I've got lots of options here, but I'm just going to choose Match Source - High bitrate. As much as possible, you'll want these settings to match your Output settings. And I can see the size of the frame, 1280x720, that number in brackets is the shape of the dots, that's the pixels, the number of frames per second, and so on. First of all, we've got the Source and Output Summary. But there are really two areas I want to draw your attention to. Again, we have quite a lot of options in this dialog. And I've got some options to Publish to social media platforms, like Adobe Behance, Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo, and so on. I can work with Captions, open and closed. And if you have a specific demand for the way that the video and audio are combined, you can set it here. I have Audio export options, Multiplexer options that are specific to H.264. If I turn off the Checkbox, I can change these settings. And you'll notice that these options are all grayed out, because I have a Checkbox on the right side for Match Source. I can adjust the Video settings for the output, and that means specifying things like the Width and the Height of the image, the number of frames per second, and so on.
#ADOBE PREMIERE PRO EXPORT MP4 SERIES#
As I work down all of the options in this dialog, I can see that I've got a series of tabs where I can specify some additional effects I want to apply to the clip that I'm exporting. The higher the bitrate, usually the better the quality of the end result.
A bitrate is a measure of the amount of information used to store the picture and sound. In this case the source is my current sequence, but I could just as easily have selected a clip in the Project panel to export that into a different format. And I'm going to make sure that the Preset for that format is set to Match Source - High bitrate. This is a popular codec for the distribution of media today. I'm going to make sure that my Format is set to H.264. And this brings up the Export Settings dialog. And this is a sequence I'd like to export as a file. I've got my Going Home sequence open here. But you can often use a preset that does all the choosing for you.
#ADOBE PREMIERE PRO EXPORT MP4 PROFESSIONAL#
There are a wide range of professional options for media file export in Adobe Premiere Pro. Once your creative work is complete, it's time to share it with the world.
You'll find that project file with the media associated with this lesson.
For this lesson, I'm using the 10_01 Export a video file.prproj.
