Range Choose whether to export an entire sequence or clip, or a range of frames based on the work area of a
sequence, or from the In point to the Out point of a clip.
Export Video Select to export the video tracks, or deselect to prevent exporting video tracks.
Export Audio Select to export the audio tracks, or deselect to prevent exporting audio tracks.
Add to Project When Finished Select to add the exported file to the Project panel after exporting is complete.
Beep When Finished Select if you want Adobe Premiere Pro to sound an alert when exporting is complete.
Embedding Options Choose whether to include a project link in the exported file. When a file contains project link
information, you can open and edit the original project from within another Adobe Premiere Pro project or from
another application that supports the Edit Original command. Select Project from this menu to embed the link infor-
mation in the exported file; choose None if you do not want to include the information. This option is not available
for all formats, or when exporting a source clip. (See “To edit a clip in its original application” on page 155.)
Video export settings
ThefollowingoptionsareavailableintheVideopaneloftheExportMovieSettingsdialogboxandtheExportFrame
Settings dialog box:
Compressor Choose the codec (compressor/decompressor) for Adobe Premiere Pro to apply when exporting a file,
and click Configure (if available) to set options specific to the selected codec. The codecs available depend on the
File Type you chose in the General panel of the Export Movie Settings dialog box or Export Frame Settings dialog
box.
Note: If you cannot find options that your hardware-based codec provides, see the documentation provided by the
hardware manufacturer. Some codecs included with video-capture hardware require that you set compression options in
dialog boxes provided by the codec, instead of through the options described in this section.
Color Depth Choose the color depth, or the number of colors to include in video that you export. This menu is not
available if the selected Compressor supports only one color depth. Some codecs allow you to specify an 8-bit
(256-color) palette when preparing a video program for 8-bit color playback—for example, to match the colors on a
web page or in a presentation. When available, click Palette and then either select Make Palette From Movie to derive
a color palette from the frames used in the video program, or select Load Palette Now to import a color palette that
you prepared and saved previously. You can load color palettes in the ACO (Photoshop color swatch), ACT
(Photoshop color palette), or PAL (Windows palette—Windows only) format.
Note: With the QuickTime file type, you can attach a 256-color palette to a movie of any bit depth. You can specify a
palette for 24-bit movies to use when displaying on 8-bit monitors, and you can prevent palette “flashing” by attaching
the same palette to many movies. Video for Windows supports attaching a palette only to an 8-bit movie.
Frame Size Specify the dimensions, in pixels, for video frames you export. Select 4:3 Aspect to constrain the frame
size to the 4:3 aspect ratio used by conventional television. Some codecs support specific frame sizes. Increasing the
frame size displays more detail but uses more disk space and requires more processing during playback.
Frame Rate Choose the number of frames per second for video you export. Some codecs support a specific set of
frame rates. Increasing the frame rate may produce smoother motion (depending on the original frame rates of the
source clips) but uses more disk space.
Pixel Aspect Ratio Choose a pixel aspect ratio that matches the output type. When the pixel aspect ratio (displayed
in parentheses) doesn’t match 1.0, the output type uses rectangular pixels. Because computers generally display pixels
as squares, content using nonsquare pixel aspect ratios appear stretched when viewed on a computer but appear with
the correct proportions when viewed on a video monitor. (See “Common pixel aspect ratios for assets” on page 34.)
