About the Export Settings dialog box

In the Export Settings dialog box you choose the settings Adobe Media Encoder uses to encode the selected file, project, or sequence.

For each format, the Export Settings dialog box includes some presets that are tailored for particular delivery media. You can also save custom presets, which you can share with others or reload as needed.

Although the appearance of the Export Settings dialog box varies slightly and is accessed differently in different software, its general form and function remain consistent. The Export Settings dialog box always contains a section for general export settings (such as Format and Preset), and one or more tabbed sections. The tabbed sections available depend on the format and preset you specify. The tab section menu also contains commands specific to the selected format.

When you export a movie file to many formats, you can crop the image, or apply certain filters. By applying the filter settings before encoding, Adobe Media Encoder ensures the highest quality output. You can also specify post‑encoding tasks, such as generating a log file or uploading the exported file to a specified server automatically.
