Before you begin
Finish editing the video. Choose your desired export settings like format, resolution, and other settings that affect the final output. Ensure you have enough disk space for the exported file.
Select File > Export > Media or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + M (Windows) or command + M (macOS).
Choose a destination for your video from the choices in the left column, such as YouTube, Vimeo, or your local drive (Media File).
A. Choose export destinations B. Access output settings C. Customize export preset
In the Export Settings dialog box:
- Specify the file name and location.
- Choose a format. H.264 is recommended for most online videos.
- Select a preset or customize your settings.
Use the Match Source – Adaptive High Bitrate preset for a quick and high-quality export. It automatically matches your sequence settings like frame size and frame rate, making things easier and efficient.
Use the Preview panel to check your video, scrub through it, set a custom duration, and adjust how it fits the frame if the export size differs.
To export directly from Premiere Pro, select Export to render and save your video file.
To export using Adobe Media Encoder, select Send to Media Encoder. Premiere Pro launches Media Encoder and adds an export job for each social media platform you want to share your video.
