Video,
audio and still image files are output using Adobe Media Encoder.
After you have completed editing a sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro,
choose File>Export> Media to launch Adobe Media Encoder. For
other applications, launch Adobe Media Encoder before importing
files for encoding.
When you export using Adobe Media Encoder,
you first select a Format in the Export Settings dialog box for
your output. The format you select determines which Preset options
are available. For more information, see Types of exporting. Select the preset for a given format in accordance
with the available space on the target medium and the needs of the
target audience. If you are not sure which export format or codec
to choose, see this video by video2brain and
Todd Kopriva.
For details about encoding video and audio from
Adobe Premiere Pro via Adobe Media Encoder, see Encode
video and audio with Adobe Media Encoder.
Depending
on what other software you have installed, the following formats
may be available:
Video and animationAnimated GIF
(Windows only): an animation format developed for web delivery.
FLV, F4V: web video, interactive video.
Note: The FLV
and F4V formats are container formats, each of which is associated with
a set of video and audio formats. F4V files generally contain video
data that is encoded using an H.264 video codec and the AAC audio
codec. FLV files generally contain video data encoded using the
On2 VP6 or Sorenson Spark codec and audio data encoded using an
mp3 audio codec.
H.264 (AAC, 3GP, MP4, M4V): is a codec used for high-quality
web video encoding. Commonly used in most web video and mobile video
workflows.
H.264 Blu-ray (M4V): is used for creating high-definition
blu-ray disc media.
MPEG-1 (MPA, MPG; both are Windows only): is for medium-bandwidth
video, commonly used for Video CD (VCD).
MPEG-2 (MPA, M2V, MPG): supports encoding of video and associated
audio at bit rates up to 10.8 Mbps. Encode in this format for super
videoCD (SVCD).
MPEG-2 DVD (M2V): is a subset of the MPEG-2 standard designed
for creating standard-definition video for DVD media.
Note: To
make an AutoPlay DVD, you can burn an MPEG2-DVD file directly onto
a blank DVD. Alternatively, you can use an MPEG2-DVD file in an
authoring program (such as Encore) to create a DVD with navigational
menus and other features.
MPEG-2 Blu-ray (M2V): is a subset of the MPEG-2 standard
designed for encoding for high-definition blu-ray disc media. However,
H.264 is more commonly used for blu-ray disc media.
MPEG-4 (MP4, M4V, 3GP; Windows only): includes many features
of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, adding support for interactivity with smaller
file sizes at MPEG-2 quality.
P2 (MXF): is a camera original format that can be used for
video editing. The Media eXchange Format (Op-Atom variety), used
by Panasonic DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO HD video cameras.
Note: File
formats such as MXF, MOV, AVI, FLV, and F4V denote container file formats
rather than denoting a specific audio, video, or image data format. Container
files can contain data encoded using various compression and encoding
schemes. Adobe Media Encoder can encode video and audio for these container
files, depending on which codecs (specifically, encoders) are installed. Many
codecs must be installed into the operating system and work as a component
inside the QuickTime or Video for Windows formats.
QuickTime movie (MOV; on Windows, requires an installation
of QuickTime): is a video container for multiple formats.
Windows Media (WMV; Windows only): includes various codecs,
including some for web delivery.
Microsoft AVI (AVI; Windows only): is a video format used
for editing and archival purposes.
Microsoft Uncompressed AVI (AVI; Windows only): is used for
high-definition video output.
Still image and still-image sequenceNote: To
export a movie as a sequence of still-image files, select Export
As Sequence on the Video tab when a still-image format is selected.
Bitmap (BMP; Windows only): is used for still image for video.
GIF (GIF; Windows only): a still-image format developed for
web delivery.
Targa (TGA): is used for high-quality video image sequences,
and still images for video. Targa handles 16-, 24-, and 32-bit color.
TIFF (TIF): is used for high-quality video image sequences
and still images for video or print.
AudioAIFF (AIF; Mac OS only):
is for audio production, or archival uses. The AIFF-C format was
developed for 5.1 audio channel mapping.
Waveform Audio File (WAV; Mac OS) or Windows Waveform (WAV;
Windows): is used for audio production, or an archival format.
mp3: is used for lower bandwidth consumer audio.
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC): higher bandwidth consumer audio.
Note: The
export options available largely depend on which version of Adobe
Media Encoder is installed. For example, if Adobe Media Encoder
is installed with a stand-alone version of Adobe InDesign, it can
only export H.264 and FLV video. If it is installed with Production
Premium, Adobe Media Encoder can export all of these formats. For
more details, see this blog post.
After
you have chosen a format setting, choose one of the available presets before
moving on to pre-encoding tasks and exporting. For more information about
choosing Presets, see Presets for export settings.
