How do I open export settings in Premiere Pro?

Published in Adobe Premiere Pro 2 mins read

To open the export settings in Premiere Pro, highlight your desired sequence in the Project Panel or Timeline, then navigate to File > Export > Media...

Here's a breakdown of the steps:

  1. Select Your Sequence: In Premiere Pro, ensure the sequence you want to export is selected. This can be done by clicking on it in the Project Panel or by ensuring the Timeline containing the sequence is active.

  2. Navigate to the Export Menu: Go to the top menu bar and click on File. A dropdown menu will appear.

  3. Choose "Export": Within the "File" menu, hover over the "Export" option. This will reveal a submenu.

  4. Select "Media...": In the submenu that appears when you hover over "Export," click on Media.... This will open the Export Settings window.

Understanding the Export Settings Window:

The Export Settings window is where you configure all the parameters for your exported video file. This includes:

  • Format: Choose the desired video format (e.g., H.264, ProRes, QuickTime).
  • Preset: Select a pre-configured export setting that matches your intended output (e.g., YouTube 1080p HD, Vimeo 4K). You can also create and save your own custom presets.
  • Output Name: Specify the name and location for your exported file.
  • Source Range: Define the portion of the sequence you want to export.
  • Video Settings: Adjust parameters like resolution, frame rate, and bitrate.
  • Audio Settings: Configure audio parameters such as sample rate and codec.
  • Effects: Add or modify video effects during the export process.

Using Match Sequence Settings:

A quick way to export your video with settings that match your sequence's original settings is to check the "Match Sequence Settings" box (often found under the Preset options, depending on the format selected). Be aware that this may result in a less optimized final file size, but it's a good starting point for maintaining the original quality and dimensions.

By following these steps, you can easily access and configure the export settings in Premiere Pro to create high-quality videos for various platforms and purposes.
