Devices
The video you edit in the Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline is not available as an independent video file
until you export, or share, it to a video format. After export, you can play it back on your computer, in other media
player or editing programs, and move it to other computers. You can export movies for playback on your computer, TV,
phone, or tablet, among others. All mobile files are compressed using the H.264 compression standard.
Select the specific media format from the Devices category. The options available to you are Computer, TV, Mobile,
Custom.
Premiere Elements also lets you quickly export your movie in formats suitable for use in specific mobile devices by
providing optimized settings for specific devices. All mobile files are compressed using the H.264 compression
standard. Use the recommended settings for best results. If your project requires special settings, you can click
Advanced Settings to make changes.
Disc
Select a specific media format from the Disc category. The options available to you are DVD, Blu-ray, and AVCHD.
Note:
With each new release of Adobe Premiere Elements, Adobe reviews industry standards, market trends, and user feedback
to define the new feature set. In Premiere Elements 2018, support for Blu-ray and AVCHD disc burning has been removed.
You can still export in H264 AVCHD and H264 Blu-ray formats using the Advanced Settings option under the Custom
tab in the Export & Share workflow.
Depending on the complexity and length of the project and your computer speed, encoding (compressing) video and
audio for a disc can take hours. If you plan to burn multiple discs with the same content and quality, you can save time
by burning them in the same session, which compresses the project only once.
Note:
Premiere Elements converts all audio to the 16-bit depth and 48 kHz sample rate required by DVDs. For the best results,
record your audio using these settings.
Before you begin burning to a DVD or a Blu-ray disc:
• Ensure that the disc you’ve selected is compatible with both your burner and the player.
• Check available disk space. You must have enough available hard disk space to accommodate the compressed files
as well as any scratch disk files created during export.
• If your DVD burner is not compatible with Adobe Premiere Elements, you can create an ISO image and then burn
the image to a DVD using the software that came with your burner. Specify your option in the Type drop-down list.
If you don’t have enough free disk space on one drive partition, you can specify a different partition for the scratch disk
files using the Edit
> Preferences > Scratch Disks / Adobe Premiere Elements > Preferences > Scratch Disks command.
(You can verify the space needed in the Burn dialog box.)
