Most consumer cameras that record in H.264 are 8-bit only. When it comes to color depth it only makes sense to select “Render at Maximum Depth” if the source footage was actually captured in anything higher than 8-bit. All the other options are outdated for most of users. “Aspect” can be set to “Square Pixels 1.0”. “Field Order” should be set to “Progressive” unless you are exporting old camcorder footage than was still captured on tape, then you can select “Interlaced”. If you are not sure, check the settings of the sequence. Otherwise video and audio might be out of synch. It’s important to leave it at the original rate the original footage was captured at. In the US the standard is 24 frames per second or 30 while in the rest of the world it’s mostly 25fps. If you are exporting an anamorphic video or square the resolution needs to be typed in manually.
If the video is in Ultra HD and it should be exported in full resolution, double check if the width and height match. The first thing to check is the resolution of the sequence you want to export. Premiere Pro has a lot of presets which are useful but are not always the right fit, depending on the project that is being exported.Īll these settings can be customized and saved as your own a preset. The current standard for the web is H.264 which is widely used. Once the “Export Settings” window pops up it’s time to choose a format. One is directly in the software and other one uses a different program called “Media Encoder”.įirst, go to “File”, “Export”, “Media” or simply press “Ctrl+M” on your keyboard. There are two ways to export a project and save it as a video file in Premiere Pro.
