Encoding media
Last updated 4/29/2012
Using existing preview files can make encoding much faster since Premiere Pro does not need calculate the effects
transitions again. The disadvantage, however, is that there is only one compression cycle when the preview file is
generated, and this can cause a slight quality video loss.
Use Maximum Render Quality When this option is selected, Adobe Media Encoder renders the sequence with the
greatest quality of motion. This option slows rendering substantially, and requires much available RAM. This option
is not recommended for systems having the minimum RAM required.
Include Source XMP Metadata When this option is selected, Adobe Media Encoder embeds any XMP metadata found
in the source sequence into the rendered file.
High Bandwidth For use with the Windows Media (.WMV) format, this option lets you specify the target Audience
defined by the Audience export settings.
Add/Remove Audiences Lets you add or remove audiences to create a multi-audience Windows Media (.WMV) video
file.
File Info Lists information on the settings used to encode an exported file.
Audiences export settings
In the Export Settings dialog box, selecting Windows Media (Windows only) as the format exposes the Audiences tab.
The options on the Audiences tab allow you to output variations of a movie suited to different network speeds. The
player software associated with the format detects and selects the most appropriate version to ensure smooth playback.
Windows Media generates a single movie that contains variations for different connection speeds.
Note: Some codec-specific settings are not documented here. For more detailed information regarding a particular codec,
check the documentation provided by its developer.
Compressed Specifies that the codec you select in the Video tab is applied. Compressed is the default setting, and is
appropriate for most users.
Uncompressed Specifies that no compression is applied. Because this setting results in large files, it is not appropriate
for most users.
Others export settings
The Others tab of the Export Settings dialog box allows you to upload the exported file to a File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server that has storage space allocated for file sharing. FTP is a common method for transferring files over a
network and is especially useful for sharing relatively large files using an Internet connection. The server’s
administrator can provide you with the details for connecting to the server.
The Others tab includes the following options:
Server Name Enter the DNS or IP address of the server on which the FTP site is located.
Port Specify the number assigned to the FTP server’s command port, which is 21 by default.
Remote Directory Enter the location on the FTP server to access, expressed as a file path.
User Login Enter the user’s identity, as designated by the server’s administrator.
Password Enter the password to a password-protected server.
Retries Specify the number of attempts to contact the server if a connection isn’t established.
Send Local File To Recycle Bin (Windows) or Send Local File To Trash (Mac OS) Deletes the local copy of the exported
file once it’s been uploaded to the FTP server.
Test Verifies the connection with the FTP server.
