How do I export custom presets in Premiere Pro?

Published in Premiere Pro Presets 3 mins read

While the provided reference focuses on using presets during export and customizing export setups, it doesn't directly address how to export or share your custom-created Premiere Pro export presets. Here's how you accomplish that:

  1. Locate your custom preset files: Premiere Pro stores export presets as .epr files. The location of these files varies depending on your operating system.

    • Windows: C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\[Version Number]\Profile-[Your Username]\Settings\Export Presets
    • macOS: /Users/[Your Username]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/[Version Number]/Profile-[Your Username]/Settings/Export Presets

    Replace [Your Username] with your actual username and [Version Number] with the specific version of Premiere Pro you're using (e.g., 23.0). If you have multiple profiles, check each Profile- folder.

  2. Find the specific .epr file: Identify the .epr file corresponding to the custom preset you want to export. The filename will usually match the name you gave the preset when you created it within Premiere Pro.

  3. Copy the .epr file: Copy the desired .epr file to a location where you can easily access and share it, such as your desktop or a shared drive.

  4. Share the .epr file: You can now share this .epr file with others via email, cloud storage, or any other file-sharing method.

Importing a Custom Preset:

To import an .epr preset that someone has shared with you:

  1. In Premiere Pro, open the Export Settings window (File > Export > Media).

  2. In the Preset menu, click the three dots (menu icon) located to the right of the preset name.

  3. Select "Import Preset".

  4. Navigate to the location where you saved the .epr file, select it, and click "Open".

  5. The custom preset will now be available in the Preset menu.

Important Considerations:

  • Version Compatibility: Presets created in newer versions of Premiere Pro might not be fully compatible with older versions. Communicate the Premiere Pro version used to create the preset when sharing.
  • Effect Dependencies: If your preset relies on specific effects or plugins that are not installed on the recipient's system, the preset might not function correctly. Ensure the recipient has all necessary plugins.
  • Sharing via Creative Cloud Libraries: An alternative approach for sharing and managing assets including presets is to utilize Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries, though that goes beyond a simple .epr file export/import.
