Encode using presets
1 Add items to the Queue panel. For information, see Add and manage items in the encoding queue .
2 Choose a video format most suitable for your output from the Format pop-up menu.
3 Choose a video preset most suitable for your output from the Presets pop-up menu. Or drag a preset from the Preset
Browser and drop it in the Queue.
4 Choose a location for your export by clicking the text for Output File, and then finding the directory or folder for
your exports in the Save As dialog box. Click Save.
5 Allow encoding to start automatically, or press the Start Queue button.
Your files will begin to be encoded to your desired format, using your chosen preset, and in the location that you chose.
Encode using custom settings
1 Add items to the Queue panel. For information, see Add and manage items in the encoding queue .
2 Select one or more items in the queue and open the Export Settings dialog box by choosing Edit > ExportSettings.
You can also right-click the file and select Export Settings, or click the Format or Preset name to open the Export
Settings dialog box.
3 Set export options. For more information, see Export settings reference .
4 Click OK. With the Export Settings dialog box closed, click Start Queue to begin encoding your files.
You can close the Encoding panel for optimum performance during encoding. View progress of the encoding process with
the progress bars in the Queue panel instead.
You can do any of the following in the Export Settings dialog box:
• Choose a video, audio, or still-image format from the Format menu. For more information, see File formats
supported for export .
• (Optional) Choose an encoding preset from the Preset menu.
• Select Export Video, Export Audio, or both.
• (Optional) Specify pre-encoding options, including cropping, trimming. For more information, see the Crop and
trim source before encoding section.
• (Optional) Set options for XMP metadata export. For more information, see Export and thin XMP metadata .
• (Optional) Select Use Maximum Render Quality or Render At Maximum Bit Depth.
Note : Rendering at a higher color bit depth requires more RAM and slows rendering substantially.
• (Optional) Select Use Frame Blending.
• Specify a filename and location for the encoded file by clicking the underlined text next to Output Name in the
upper-right section of the Export Settings dialog box and entering a filename and location. If you don’t specify a
filename, Adobe Media Encoder uses the filename of the source video clip.
Note : When the format is set to P2 Movie, the user-assigned filename is not applied. Instead, such encodes are given
a six character alphanumeric name by Adobe Media Encoder. The Output Name is saved to the clip’s metadata, and
is shown as the clip name in Adobe Premiere Pro.
You can specify a destination folder in which to save the encoded file relative to the folder containing the source
video clip. When specifying a destination folder, ensure that the destination folder you specify exists. If you specify
a folder that does not exist, an error message informs you that the file cannot be encoded because the folder cannot
be found.
