Hey, everyone, Kelsey
here and welcome back to GAl. Today we're doing another Beginner's
Guide video, and this time we're focusing specifically
on video exporting and encoding. So that way, you'll know how to export and become a pro at exporting
for any type of platform that you need. So what exactly will you walk away
with after you watch this video tutorial? Well, of course, you're going to learn the basics of how
to do just quick exports of your content. But you're also going to learn the tech
behind the experts, such as, you know, what is bitrate
and how to adjust it to alter your file size
and still maintain really top quality. So I'll also cover
how to do specific types of exports, such as how to export
for broadcast TV or Netflix and how to export for social media
and some special types of exports, like how to export a frame of your video,
how to export with an alpha channel, or exporting audio and exporting GIFs. I'll also be answering some questions
I got on Twitter at the very end of this video
about a very specific export need. So stay tuned for that. And a special thanks to Wonderware for sponsoring today's video
with their new app Uniconverter. It's your complete video toolbox. And I will tell you more
about how awesome they are. Later in this video. But for now, you can claim your 30 day trial using my link
in the description box. Thanks, Wonderware. And let's
go ahead and jump into the video. Just a reminder that all the time codes
are just down below. All right, let's go ahead and get started. So before we jump
into specific types of exports, I'm going to give you an overview
of the entire export settings dialog. There are two ways to export. The first quick way
is to go to the quick export file icon on the right, which is a new feature
that will allow you to do quick exports. And this is best for exporting for social. But I'll show you this later on. And then the way to access
all the Premiere Pro export settings is to go to file
export media or use the shortcut command m on a mac
or control m on a PC. And remember, in order
for the export window to pop up, you need to make sure your sequence
is selected. Just select it here in the timeline and you'll see a blue
outline around the window first inside of this new window. You'll see a preview
of your exported video on the left if you click on the source tab. From here, you'll be able
to crop the video if you want to export in a smaller cropped portion
in a lower resolution. Now, this might be helpful if you want to export a gif,
which we will cover later in this video. And below that, you'll see the duration
of the full video in the lower right
just below the video preview. Below that, you'll see that
there's a source range. If you have in and out points
set in your timeline, you will also see the source range here. If you're not sure what this is,
if I close out the export settings and go back to my timeline, you'll see that
I have a highlighted in and out point. Now, I recommend doing this. If you have a longer sequence in, you only want to export
a portion of the video in the timeline. You can press I on your keyboard
to set your endpoint. And you can move your head
to the end of your video and press o as your outpoint
on your keyboard. If you want the endpoint
to just be the beginning of the timeline, you only need to set ian out point as the
beginning will default as your endpoint. Now, the reason why I always set in and out points
is that when I'm editing my video, you know, sometimes I'll forget
that I'll put a video clip farther down in the timeline,
and then when I export the full video, it'll export the entire sequence
even with that portion at the end, which you don't want. Which is why I always said in outpoint at the very last
frame of my video on the right. These are the settings. Here's where you'll choose
your format and preset. The default is the HD 264 format and match
source, high bit rate. So this is the most commonly used format
and preset for social media for 1080p. And it's what I use for this YouTube video
and for all of my YouTube content that I upload in 10 ATP. And I'll tell you more about specific formats and presets when I cover
the specific types of exports. Later in this video next to preset, you'll
also have the option to save a preset if you make any custom modifications
or you can import a specific export preset that you're given
below the format and preset. You can click to change your output,
name and location and the place where your final video will be saved in
just below the output name. You'll see to check boxes
if you want to export the video and audio. Make sure both of these
are checked Adobe below. Here you'll see six tabs. The first one is the effects tab. And this allows you to apply different types of effects
on top of your exported media, such as LUTS Looks, which might be useful
if you want to export just a specific clip for a stock video
clip that you're selling. And you can apply a specific light
on top of the footage itself. There's also a Sadik-Khan form
which allows you to convert HDR video to SDR for playback on non HDR devices. There's also a place for watermarks
so you can add an image, name or timecode overlay
that will allow you to create really cool custom
watermarks on your footage for review. And there's time tuner that will allow you
to shave off time of your video. And Premiere Pro will automatically
shave the time off for you. And I'll show you how to do this later on. There's also a video limiter
which will make sure that the brightness levels and the color
values of your video are broadcast safe. And there's also a loudness
normalization checkbox here which will allow you to choose
the loudness standard to make sure it fits the broadcast standard for audio loudness. Next to that is the video tab. And this is the most commonly used tab. And this lets you customize the output
files, basic video settings such as the resolution,
the frame rate, the encoding settings. And by the way, you'll want to make sure
you're using hardware encoding because it's much faster and it leverages
the power of your graphics card, not just the bottleneck of your CPU. And you can adjust the bit rate quality,
which we will cut. In the next chapter,
lastly, you'll also be able to enable V.R. if you shot in 360 video. The third tab is the audio tab,
and you don't really use this that often, but it lets you control the audio
format settings in the bitrate as well. And the fourth is the multiplexer tab. This is really only relevant for H.264
or MPEG formats, but essentially it controls how the video and audio are
merged together or exported separately. So if it's set to none, the video and audio files
will be exported as separate files. But if it's on the default, then it will
be mixed together as one MP for file. Next are the captions. We will go into more detail on this later
in the video, but essentially it allows you to burn your captioning
track into the video or export a separate captioning file
to go along with your video export. Now, I actually resiling
made an updated video on the captioning workflow in Premiere Pro. And if you have not watched that yet, you can just click up here
to see how it works. And lastly, there is the
publishing tab here. Essentially, it allows you to log in
to a specific social platform like Twitter
or YouTube and Premiere Pro. Will auto publish your video file
to that platform for you automatically? So it saves you a bit of time. So these are the tabs and below
here are a few more options that are less common,
but certainly useful. First, there's the maximum render quality. If you're exporting your final video in
a different resolution than the original. Use maximum, render quality. If you're exporting
in the same resolution, don't check this because it'll actually increase
your export time. Now, I'll cover more of this
in the broadcast section so you fully understand how it works. Next, there's the use previews
if you choose this option. It'll speed up your export. And what it does is it'll export
using the already generated preview files in your timeline instead of re
rendering all of the new media over again. So if you want to speed up your export
time, you can check the box, use previews, but make sure to watch the full video
through to make sure everything's OK. Because if you have use previews selected, there may be some errors
that occur from those preview files. So just be careful with this.
It does speed it up, though. Another thing is the proxies. If this is checked,
Premiere Pro will export using the already generated proxy files from the sequence
instead of rendering new media. And this will also speed up your export. If you're new to proxies, essentially they are smaller
replicas of your full resd media. So you can, you know, edit faster
instead of your timeline using the proxy files instead. And you can watch my full tutorial right up here that shows you
how to create your own proxies. So, for example, if you're editing
8-K footage or 4k footage, you may want to create lower res versions
so that way you can speed up your editing workflow. And next,
there's the set time code. If you want to change the specific start time of your export,
you can type in a new time code here. I don't use this
very often, but it's useful if you need to add in a specific time
code for the start point. The next thing is time interpolation. Now, you can ignore this
if you're exporting your video in the same frame rate
as your source media in your timeline. But let's say you're exporting your video
that's in your timeline, 30 frames per second, but you're exporting it to twenty four
frames per second, for example. Then you will want to pay attention
to this because you want to play around with the different time interpolation options
to see which result is a better frame. Sampling this duplicates or removes
the frames to achieve a new frame rate. And sometimes this can produce
some stuttering on the playback, which is why there's other options
to play around with. Next, there's frame blending in. This adds or removes frames
by blending them with the adjacent frames. And this can result
in some smoother playback. And lastly, there's optical flow in. This adds or removes frames
by creating new frames based on the pixels
of the surrounding frames. Now, this will create the best playback, but sometimes you might get some artifacts
that are produced. So in that case, you may want to use
the frame blending or the frame sampling. Lastly, at the bottom here,
you'll see the estimated file size for H2 six and before exports. And this number will change
when you adjust the bit rate, which we will cover later on
in the next section. And now there are two options for export. There's the queue and there's export. Now, queue is the exact same as export. But when you press queue,
it'll actually export the file and open up a new app
called Adobe Media Encoder. And the reason why this is beneficial
is that it uses a separate app to export. So you can still continue to use
Premiere Pro. You can start. Editing a new project
or you can cue up another export. But when you export
just with Premiere Pro, it uses Premiere Pro to export
and you can't do anything more. They still use the exact same engines,
but the benefit is that Adobe media encoder allows you
to continue to use Premiere Pro. So here's just a quick editor's
note about the export settings. Right now, the Premiere Pro team is working on a beta version
of the export setting. So if you use the Premiere Pro public
beta from Adobe Creative Cloud, you will see right now that they're
working on a new user interface. Now, everything that I'm talking about in
this video is still relevant. It's just going to be located
in different spots. On the left, you'll see
some social export settings, but you'll see that
some things are in different places. But, you know, the different codex
and all of the formats that I'll be talking about are still
the same just in a new interface. So if you want to try this out and give feedback to the Premiere
Pro team, you can just go to Adobe, Creative Cloud desktop app,
go to the beta app icon, download the Premiere Pro public beta,
and you can try out the new export window. So that's all. Just
a little side note for this. And that was go jump into
the next part of the video. So all that bit rate is is
the amount of video data that's processed in a unit of time and video bit rate is measured in megabits per second. So if you have 10 megabits
per second on your video, that's 10 million bits process per second. Now, understanding how this works,
I mean, you know, megabits, you may be like,
OK, great. Well, how does that help me? Well, the best way to understand
it is that if you increase that amount, it improves the quality of export. But it also makes your video
file size bigger. And if you lower that quality, it's
going to reduce the file size and make your quality
just a little bit more poor. Now, something to keep in mind. Another thing that impacts the quality
of your video and the size of your file is the frame rate
and the resolution of your video. To give you an example
of how frame, rate and resolution factor in, in addition to the bit
rate to the overall quality. Let's say you have a four ATP
video that you've put into a tiny sequence
and you're exporting it as TBP. Increasing the bit rate is simply going
to just make the file size bigger. It's not going to improve
the overall quality of the video because the pixel data of that 480 video is just being enlarged
into the tiny frame. So you also have to remember that
just increasing the bit rate isn't going to increase
the quality necessarily. So the most common reason that you're
going to be adjusting your video bit rate is if you have a very long video and
you still want the quality to be great. So, for example,
if you're uploading an hourlong video to YouTube in 10 ATP,
what's the optimal bit rates? You can get the file size down. So different presets will come
with different starting bit rates that you can adjust. For example, the default here, H2 64
match source, high bit rate. If you go down to the video bitrate
settings, you'll see that the default is VRH one pass 10 megabits per second. And the VRJ, it just stands
for a variable bit rate, which is ideal for social media
and streaming video. Because the bit rate changes
based on the level of detail in the image. So the slower the scenes are uses
less bits than the faster scenes. And the benefit of using VR
is that it can create a much more higher quality video with keeping the size down. You'll also see that there's BBR to pass. And all this does is essentially do a second, pass through
the video to ensure the quality is good. And usually this takes
a little bit longer. You'll also see another option, CBR,
which is constant bit rate. This keeps the bit
rate the same throughout. And it will also produce
a slightly larger file, but not by a lot. So when you're exporting CBR,
VR or VR to pass, when you watch those back, if you export the same video
in all those different bitrate formats, you're not going to really see
a difference from the HUMANI . But VBR is recommended
primarily for social media. It helps keep the file size down. So now we're going to talk about
bit rate and resolution and kind of what is the ideal bit rate when you're
dealing with different resolutions for Mitan ATP YouTube videos? I tend to use this default
high bit rate, which is 10. And if I want to lower the file size down
or fellin or lower it a bit, typically I'd just like to go down to
maybe six or eight at the lowest. But remember, it also depends on your
resolution. So 10, 80, 10 megabits per second is good for YouTube. And we'll talk more about this
in the social media section. But if you're exporting four K,
you don't want it to be at 10. You want it to be much higher for YouTube. They recommend between 40 and 60 megabits
per second for 24 frames per second. Twenty five frames per second or 30 frames per second,
which is the lower frame rates. And for the higher frame rates,
they recommend sixty five to eighty five megabits per second. So as you increase the frame rate,
you can see that the file size got a lot bigger
because we switch to four K. So now some of you might know why
I upload in 10 ATP, because when you do four K, it's so much bigger
in the same four eight K as well. It'll just eat up so much more space. If you're doing weekly, even daily
content in four K and 10 ATP, in my opinion, is still great quality
for streaming on Web. And now that we're talking
about resolution and bit rate, a new preset
that's now available is adaptive bit rate. And you might think, oh, it's very similar
to variable, right? Well, actually, it's
a lot different adaptive. What it actually does is
it will automatically calculate the best bit rate
for the resolution of your source footage to give you an example
of the difference. But. Between the regular rate
and the adoptive bit rate, if you open up a four K video
and you choose to export as match source, high bit rate,
and we go to the video bit rate settings, you'll see it's still at 10,
which is just ideal for HD, not for K. But this is where
the adaptive comes in handy. This is where you can use adaptive
and it will automatically calculate the bit rate
for you making the file size bigger. And you don't have to worry
about increasing the bit rate to 40. For example, for YouTube. And this is why adaptive bit rate
is now the go to preset for quick exports. So that way, you don't have to worry
about changing the bit rate for the resolution of your video. And now it's time
for a short coffee break. Grab your espresso or tea, soak in all that lovely information about bitrate. And let's move on to the next chapter. For a TV or film, festivals go to format, and instead of aged
two, six, four, choose quick time. And the most common preset to choose
is Apple protégées four, two, two in progress. Four to two
is best for all eight bit video formats,
which is the minimum for broadcast. And by the way, Apple
Progress has been available in Premiere Pro on Windows
since twenty eighteen. You might also wonder
what's the difference between the four to the regular one,
four, two, two HQ and LTE? The only difference is the data rate. So you're not going to really see a visual
difference on exports between these. The only difference is that you'll see
a huge difference in the file size. The HQ version will be a lot bigger. You'll also see there's the for for
for for Apple progress, and that's for exporting
high dynamic range footage. And I recommend doing that
for animation as well. But more often than not,
you will use four to two. So when you export
the progress four to two, which is large, by the way, you'll see
it's about one gigabyte per minute. But you won't actually see the file
estimate down here below like we did
when we had HD two six four. Another question you might have
is when you scroll down on the video tab, there are options for render
at maximum depth. If your video has a lot of color grading
or compositing, definitely select render at maximum depth because it renders
content at 32 bit colored depth checking. It will also increase the export time,
but it will be worth it. And then there is the use
that maximum render quality, you might think, well, yeah,
I want it to be at maximum render quality. So let's check it. But actually, this here is only
for when you're exporting your video in a different resolution,
then your sequence. So if you have a four K video sequence
and you're exporting it into any deep, then you'll want to select this because it helps
preserve the details in the final export. This will also increase
the export time significantly. So remember, if you're just doing a quick
export, you can leave this unchecked, but for the final export,
that's in a different resolution. Always have this checked. So now let's go a little bit more
in detail into exporting for social media. The best format to use for Fourcade
video is HD at two six four with a preset match source
adaptive bitrate. So this match source Adaptive Bitrate
will work for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tick-Tock
because it matches the source settings and it calculates the best bit, rate
and quality for your video for you in a will also export in
whatever resolution you have. So if you have vertical, it'll be
in the vertical format square and so on. You'll also notice that Premiere Pro also has some specific presets
specifically for the platform. There's Facebook, 10 ATP. There's Facebook,
ultra HD, Facebook, 720 PE. And the only main difference here is
that Premiere Pro gives you a specific bit rate that's been entered in
as the ideal bit rate for that platform. And of course, you can adjust
this bit rate if you need to. For example, according to Facebook,
there is no bitrate rate limit as long as your file doesn't
exceed one gigabyte. But eight megabits per second is generally
best for tiny video for Facebook. So you can just adjusted to it. There's also presets for Twitter, Vimeo and YouTube,
and you can certainly use those. So you may ask, should I be using these presets for my social media exports
or should I just do what you said in the opening,
which is match source, adaptive bit rate? I would recommend just using the match
source adopted bitrate, because it already has a great bit rate
that you can use and it will automatically calculate it
for the resolution that you're working on. And you know, Premiere Pro
is constantly updating and social media is updating, too. So Premiere Pro settings
might be a little bit out of date with the latest social media
export settings. So using the match source adaptive bit
rate will help you never go wrong. One more thing that might be useful
for you is exporting videos that have a specific time
limit in your final video is just a little bit longer
than that time limit. For example, with Instagram there and feed
videos has a limit of 60 seconds. Let's say your final video is 62 seconds or 63 seconds,
and you need to get it down to 60. But you're like, how do I do it? All the edits are pretty grim, Adobe. Well, you can use time tuner
inside of the export settings, which I told you about in the opening.
So how does it work? All you need to do
is go to a time tuner from effects. And here you can enter
in your new target duration, your desired length of your video,
and then use the target duration preset. And Premiere Pro will automatically go
through your video and remove any slower frames from your video
in order to cut out the extra seconds without removing any spoken parts,
which is pretty sweet. Now, Time Tuner is not perfect
in all situations. For example, if you have a a minute and 40 second video
and you need to get it down to 60 seconds. That's not going to work. It
only really works. We have a little couple
extra seconds that you need to shave off. For social media today, captions are super important
to add on to your videos and with a new caption workflow
in Premiere Pro, it's easier than ever. So once you have
your captioning track set up. All you need to do to burn it into
your video is go to file export media. Go to the captions tab
and make sure that burning captions and your video is on now for YouTube. I don't burn my captions in. I like to export the caption truck
as its own separate dot srt file. So this is where I go into the tax panel and I go to the ellipsis menu
and export to SRT. In that way, I can attach the dot
srt captioning file to my YouTube video as I upload it. Now, there are many different types
of captioning formats, and that all depends on
how you set up your captioning track. And if you're interested in
how that is set up, you can watch my full captioning
video right up here. One more thing about social is publishing. So going back to the publishing
tab here, essentially this allows you to publish your video
while you export at the same time. So if you want to publish it
to your Adobe, Creative Cloud or Behance profile, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo,
all of those here, there's no Instagram here
and there's no ticktock. But if you want to publish to social media,
I actually recommend using Premiere Rusch because they have integrations
for ticktock and Instagram. So to get it to work,
you just log into the account and you allow Adobe, Creative
Cloud to manage the account and publish to your channel for you. So you would just update your title,
you'd put in a description here, and I'd actually recommend
setting the privacy to private so that way you can always modify
the tags a little bit more and make sure everything
looks good on YouTube before you publish. And you can also upload a custom
thumbnail, which they didn't have before. One thing I really wish
that this section had was to auto publish your captions as a Ezzati as well, since it has the new
captioning workflow in here. It would be great if the Premiere Pro team
would allow you to add the captioning track
as Adobe srt directly to YouTube as well to save that extra step,
to have to export it separately. Which is one benefit I could see it having or so since we're
still on the topic of social media, I thought it would make sense to show you
how to export a gif, which is just an image sequence, a short little image
sequence of your video. So how does it work? So once you have the piece of video you want to export as a gift
from your timeline, I recommend setting an eye for the endpoint
and an O for the outpoint. And I wouldn't recommend having
gift's be longer than five seconds. I even like them to be around
three seconds in duration. So once you have in and out points
selected, then you can go to export by hitting command on a Mac
or control image on PC. And from the format here,
you're going to select animated GIF. If we just export using the default
settings, the final GIF file is going to be huge and you would have be able
to attach it to your social media posts. So this is why you need to actually play
around with the video settings here to get this video file down. So we're going to go to the video tab. And from the basic video settings,
we're going to reduce the quality way down to like around 20 or 30. And this may seem pretty drastic, but in order to get the file size down,
we need to lower that. And we also need to uncheck the box
next to the width and the height to reduce the resolution down,
to also get the file size down. So here I'm just going to divide this
by using the backslash symbol for divide, and I'll divide it by four. And this will automatically reduce
the resolution down to four for both the width and height,
because the resolution length here is on which allows for the scaling
of the frame size to be proportional. Now, once we've lowered this,
let's hit export. And now we have a much lower file
size in a decent quality gif that we can attach,
for example, to Twitter. And every gif will be different. You may have to just divide it
by three instead of four. Like I did. Or you need to lower
the quality even more. It really depends on the duration
of that gif. Right. To adjust those settings and tweak it
until you get it to the right file size. Generally, a good gif file
size is around three megabytes. And so now I'm going to tell you
about today's sponsor, Wonderware unique converter. So unique inverter is a really fast
converting torce if you need to convert multiple videos
into different format. It's also a DVD burner. It's also a video trimmer. There's lots of different
things you can do. It has a whole toolbox of different tools
that you can use. Now, you might be like, work out. Why would I need Uniconverter? when Adobe Premiere Pro has Adobe
media encoder will Adobe media encoders great
for the formats that work within Adobe. But Wondershare actually works
with a thousand different types of preset. So there's a lot more to choose from. And the render speed is super fast. They have a new version now
that's up to two hundred times faster. So one way that YouTube converter
can help you save time with your editing versus just using
Premiere Pro is the video merging tool. So, for example,
if you shoot with a camera that will automatically save large files
into multiple different files, you can use their video merger
in order to export it into one for video for you that you can then import
and continue editing and Premiere Pro, which I'm sure a lot of you guys
would find useful. Another thing that it could be useful
for is one time I was filming actually for a YouTube video,
and I forgot to change the settings. So I accidentally recorded my talking head
in seven twenty P at 60 frames per second instead of my normal,
which is 10 AP, 24 frames per second. So I use one Wonderware
unit converter to export my bad file type
and to tape 24 frames per second. So that way it just looks better
when I was editing and Premiere Pro. So that's one other useful tool. Another really cool tool is downloading
YouTube videos with unique converters. So a lot of times
for educational references or download a YouTube video
that I'll insert in my video and I'll just copy and paste the link
and all download it for me. And I have a whole archive
of all the videos that I've downloaded. And remember to follow copyright rules. I'm only using these YouTube videos for fair use
when I'm trying to explain something. So use this tool with caution
and talking about bitrate. The compression inside of unique converter
is great and makes it really easy to do. So if you need to reduce the file size
significantly, you don't really have to deal with bit rate.
You just reduce it by a percentage. And it makes it really easy if you need to
save space on your local drive. If you just take your final video
and quickly compress it in, the best part is, is, you know, converter
works on both a Mac and a PC, and you can get a lifetime license,
which is a great deal. So you just buy it once
and you have it forever. There's also annual plans as well
and monthly plans for the online version. And by the way, you can get the online
version, a 30 day trial using my link below. So thank you so much
to Undersheriff for sponsoring. And let's go ahead and jump back into our
Beginners Guide on video exporting. So let's say that you're exporting a video
for review for a film festival or just for somebody else
to just take a look at, but you want to protect your video
with a watermark. This is where we're going to go
to the effects tab of the export settings. The first option is to add
an image overlay. So if you have a custom logo
or a watermark that you want to add to your video, simply select
the file from the dropdown. For example, I'll add
the white version of Micol logo. Then you can resize it
and you can lower the opacity so it doesn't look like
the graphic is part of the video. And now when you export,
the watermark will burn into the video itself
instead of the classic logo watermark. You can also add a name overlay. So you can choose prefix and suffix, and
you can type whatever name that you want. For example, you might want to just add
the name of the project or the director or the date of the projects. And then you can change the position and use the offset controls
to bring it into place. And then you can adjust the size
and the opacity as well. You might also be asked to add an overlay
as a time code on the video, especially for film festival reviews,
so people can see what time it has in the video. So you can just use this to enable
a time code overlay and you can adjust
the position accordingly. So now what you have to do watermarks. What if you want to save this so that way you can always use
this watermark going forward. This is where we can talk about
saving custom presets that you can use. So you don't have to redo everything that you've changed
every time you export warm water. So when you make your customization
like adding a watermark, you'll get a preset name
that's been replaced with the word custom. And all you have to do to save it
is click on the little save preset icon next to the preset name. And you can give it a name
like watermark export or something. And after you save it, it will now appear
in your preset dropdown. Another type of special export that you may need to do
is exporting with an alpha channel. Let's say you do a logo reveal
or a motion graphics template and you want to export it to share it
with another editor with the transparency layer. Now, exporting with an alpha channel
layer used to be a little bit more complicated. But now in Premiere Pro,
they made it super easy. And this is how it works. Just like with the broadcast section, you'll want to choose the quick time
format in front presets. You're going to choose
Apple Prores 4444 with Alpha. And you can also choose GoPro in a form
of RGB 12 bit with Alpha as well. That's another option.
Then you can hit export and you'll have your motion graphic
with the Alpha Channel. So that's how you export with Alpha. And now let's talk about exporting audio. So I don't generally use the
exporting audio feature inside of Premiere Pro specifically, but you may find it
useful if you have a video podcast and you want to export
just the audio of the video podcast for Spotify, iTunes
or another podcast platform. So this is how you do it. Press control or command
em to bring up the export settings and then you're going to select
from the format. I f f or waveform audio format. Both of them will work the same. They're both uncompressed
high quality audio types. If you don't need uncompressed,
you can export it as an MP, three in the file
size will be a lot smaller. And that's really all
you need to know about audio. And now let's talk about exporting stills. The best way to export a Still image
is not from the export settings. You actually can pull the play
heading your timeline to the frame you want to export. And this could be good. For example, for the thumbnail
of your next YouTube video, then click on a little camera icon from your program
panel and export the frame. If you don't have this icon,
just click on the plus icon here and drag it into your toolbar. And from here, you can choose the format
and save the location. You can also imported
into your project panel. And so this pretty much covers all the different types of exporting
that you would need from Premiere Pro. And I did get a question
from somebody on Twitter that was a really good question
about ZOOM recordings and how to best export it
without reducing the quality even more. So I imagine in this case,
a lot of you are asked to add a lower thirds and some graphics
on top of these long Web recordings. And you've probably had to scale them up or they're exactly tiny,
but they don't look that great. And so when you export it,
it's a pretty long file. So it's probably a super big file. So in this case, I would just recommend,
if it's 1080p and you've scaled up the video, I would still recommend
exporting it in the match source, high bit rate and just lowering the fit rate
maybe down to like six. So it's not super high. And if you wanted to, just like I showed
you with the unique converter, you can use a unique converter to compress the file
a little bit without reducing the quality. Also, another thing you might want to do,
if you're if you're worried about scaling up the video inside
of your timeline and it and it looks a little bit worse in quality,
you can add a, quote, animating background and not scale up the video fully,
but just make it part of the frame. So there's like a nice, colorful border. And then you don't really have to worry about the quality
reducing as much when you export. But if you do export in a different
frame rate or resolution than your source settings, remember to always choose
use maximum render quality. But again, I would just recommend using
the match source high bit rate for 1080p and lowering that that rate down until you get the right
file size that you need. So that's all for this video. I know it was a long one, but I really wanted to fit in
as much as possible in this one video . So it can really be a comprehensive guide
to possibly any question you could have about exporting
and understanding bitrate. And if it helped you out, be
sure to give this video a big thumbs up. So that way I know that you want more
