How To Export HD Video in Premiere Pro CC for YouTube, Vimeo, & Facebook

hey guys my name is Matt Johnson and today I want to talk to you about my export settings that I use whenever I'm rendering out 1080p videos in Premiere Pro in my first video I talked about my 4k export settings so if you're somebody like me that shoots in 4k and then wants to upload to YouTube or Vimeo or Facebook or give 4k videos to clients that is a video that you want to watch because I go into great detail all about my 4k settings this video is gonna be about 1080p and it's also gonna be shorter because I'm just gonna really give you the settings with a little explanation I'm not gonna go into in depth this is the reason that I chose all of these settings like I did the 4k video so if there's a setting that you're confused about in you're like hey Matt didn't explain why you chose this go and watch the 4k video which has a lot of similar steps and settings and you're gonna see me explain why I did that so that video was about exporting to 4k this video here is about exporting to 1080p and I have another video coming up very soon that's about exporting to Instagram lastly if you're more of a reader than a watcher in the description below I'm gonna include a link to my website who is matcom where I'm gonna have step-by-step articles with pictures detailing all of my export settings so if you would rather read then watch that has a definite option for you but if you want to watch and stick around let's talk about how to export 1080p video using Premiere Pro alright guys welcome to Premiere Pro so you can follow along I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro version 2017 point 0.2 so if things look a little different cuz you're using other later version this is a version i'm using just for your reference you'll notice here first in the project window i have a video file that i shot with my 7s2 on a family cruise and the frame rate is 23.976 and the video is 1920 by 1080 which is what we're gonna be exporting today so pretend that I've edited a whole video and that we're exporting that not just one clip but before we talk about exporting I think it's very important that you consider whenever you are shooting your video editing your video and rendering a video that you have the same settings so ideally you will shoot with a certain frame rate and resolution to your camera then you will edit at the same frame rate resolution and then you will export at the same frame rate resolution so that way everything looks good and smooth and as high quality as possible so with that in mind I've got this video clip of some seagulls here from our family cruise they're all in slow motion that look pretty cool right I mean it's pretty awesome but we're not here to look at seagulls we're here to render so let's create a new sequence that will match up with our video footage so you can either press control in or you can go to file new sequence and that's going to open up the new sequence dialog box and if you watched my previous video we have these presets that I made for 4k video which is now what we're doing because we're only doing 1080 so let's go up here to digital SLR preset 1080p DSLR 1080p 24 which you'll notice here then it matches up with my video info it's 23.976 it is 1920 by 1080 so this is the sequence preset for premiere that matches up with the footage that I shot so we're going to name this let's see here 1080p export test for example and click OK and that's gonna open up a new timeline down here which is pretty cool now let's go over here to our video clip and drag it down to the timeline and we're gonna pretend that we have already edited this into a beautiful movie and it's not just one clip that we're rendering now let's set it in an out point so that Premiere knows when to start the render and when to finish the render we're gonna press I at the start of the video we're gonna go to the end of the video - about the last frame right there then we're going to press o and then we are ready to render our video so you can either press ctrl M or you can go to file export media either one will bring up the export settings window which is how we're gonna export our video in 1080p let's start going through some settings first off for format you want to select h.264 for the preset you are going to want to select custom because we're going to customize this preset to be 1080p next you're gonna output name which is where you choose where you want to save your video so make sure you select that because there's been times where I forgot to do that and I'm like searching for the video file like we're gonna put it make sure you have export video and export audio checks that you're not dealing with audio being muted which I've dealt with before next you have summary which is a great way for you to check your source and make sure that matches your output and below that you have effects video audio multiplexer captions and the publish tab you only need to focus on the video and audio tab nothing else which is wonderful onto basic video settings now before I go and change width and height I need to go down here to profile and change it to high and I need to change the level to 4.2 which is a good level for 1080p so you'll notice here that it automatically changes the width and the height to 1920 by 1080 which is what we want next you need to uncheck the framerate box and change the frame rate to 23.976 so that matches up with the source video that I've shot after that we're going to leave field order progressive aspect ratio square pixels 1.0 is fine everything else here is fine check the render at maximum depth box because that's going to improve your video quality let's go down to bitrate settings if you want to hear my spiel about bitrate settings go back and watch my 4k video where I go into far more detail about what this is and why you need to do it but for now you have two options if you are exporting to youtube and you want extremely high video quality for your uploads at the cost of having a larger file size and a potentially longer upload time change your bitrate encoding to CBR and change your target bitrate to 40 and there's going to cause your video file to be very large as you can see it's 40 megabits per second but it's already saying that it's going to be 625 megabytes in size but the benefit is that it is very high quality if you are exporting your video to give to a client or someone else it's not going to be uploading it change your bitrate encoding to vbr 2 pass and your target bitrate should be 15 and your maximum bitrate should be 40 that will be plenty for if you are giving to a client or someone and you are not uploading it online after that you don't need to mess with keyframe distance and unless your videos vr which our assistant was to be really cool you don't need to mess with any of that but you do need to make sure that you check the use maximum render quality box because as you see it gives better quality scaling and can increase your load time but if you are saying shooting a video in 4k n-- you want to downsize it to 1080p or some like that then it is very helpful that maximum render quality check because it will result in a better quality video next the audio tab as you can see here we have the audio format is set to AAC which is what I would recommend the audio codec is AAC sample rate is 48,000 Hertz which matches up with the a7s2 s audio recording audio quality high because of course it should be on high your bitrate should be set to 320 and your should be bitrate once all those settings are saved you're going to want to go up here to the little arrow and select save preset and let's call this preset 1920 by 1080 23.976 which is the frame rate and because we chose VBR we're gonna do VBR 15 comma 40 so that way we know the target bitrate and the max bitrate let's go ahead and and okay and that's gonna save your presets so now whenever you choose h.264 you can now just select the preset at the top and you don't have to struggle if you're like when was the settings again it's all saved and now for any video that you want to export 1080p it's right there for you after that all you got to do is hit Q or render and you're done that's it thanks so much for watching I hope this video has been helpful to you and giving you some great insight into how to export awesome 1080p videos using
