Exporting clips from the Timeline
This section explains how to export clips from your Adobe Premiere Timeline
using MediaExport.
1 Start MediaExport as explained in “Starting the Matrox MediaExport plug-
in” on page 210.
2 Click the Destination button, then specify the drive and folder where you
want to store your encoded video files.
3 In the file Destination box, enter the base name that you want to assign to
the encoded files in this session. This base name will be assigned to the
output files of all encoding profiles selected in the session window. To create
a unique file name for each of your encoded files, MediaExport sequentially
adds an underscore and a two-digit number to the specified base name.
Regardless of what file types you encode in your session, each encoded file
will be named using this convention (for example, MyStream_01.wmv,
MyStream_02.rm, MyStream_03.m2v, etc.).
4 To apply crop settings to your source video, click Crop and enter the crop
values in pixels in the
Crop Source Video dialog box. Your video will be
cropped and then resized to the frame size specified for the encoding profiles
you’ll be using.
¡Important When you apply crop settings to your source video, the best
quality video is achieved by selecting
Field as input from the MediaExport
dialog box. Your crop settings and input source selection apply to all the
encoded files in the session.
