General export settings
The following options are available in the General panel of the Export Movie Settings, Export Frame Settings, and
Export Audio Settings dialog boxes:
File Type
Choose the kind of file you want to export from the menu. The file type you select affects which other
export movie settings options are available.
Compile Settings
Select to access format-specific options. AVI formats and GIF formats (both supported on
Windows only) include compile settings. See “
Export a still-image GIF or animated GIF
marker data in AVI files (Windows only)
Range
Choose whether to export an entire sequence or clip, or a range of frames based on the work area of a
sequence, or from the In point to the Out point of a clip.
Export Video
Select to export the video tracks, or deselect to prevent exporting video tracks.
Export Audio
Select to export the audio tracks, or deselect to prevent exporting audio tracks.
Add to Project When Finished
Select to add the exported file to the Project panel after exporting is complete.
Beep When Finished
Select if you want Adobe Premiere Pro to sound an alert when exporting is complete.
Embedding Options
Choose whether to include a project link in the exported file. When a file contains project link
information, you can open and edit the original project from within another Adobe Premiere Pro project or from
another application that supports the Edit Original command. Select Project from this menu to embed the link
information in the exported file; choose None if you do not want to include the information. This option is not
available for all formats, or when exporting a source clip. (See “
Edit a clip in its original application
Note: Although the Project Settings dialog box and the Export Movie / Frame / Audio Settings dialog boxes appear
similar, they have different options, and govern different settings.
Video export settings
The following options are available in the Video panel of the Export Movie Settings dialog box and the Export Frame
Settings dialog box:
Compressor
Choose the codec (compressor/decompressor) for Adobe Premiere Pro to apply when exporting a file,
and click Configure (if available) to set options specific to the selected codec. The codecs available depend on the File
Type you chose in the General panel of the Export Movie Settings dialog box or Export Frame Settings dialog box.
Note: If you cannot find options that your hardware-based codec provides, see the documentation provided by the
hardware manufacturer. Some codecs included with video-capture hardware require that you set compression options
in dialog boxes provided by the codec, instead of through the options described in this section.
Color Depth
Choose the color depth, or the number of colors to include in video that you export. This menu is not
available if the selected Compressor supports only one color depth. Some codecs allow you to specify an 8-bit
(256-color) palette when preparing a video program for 8-bit color playback—for example, to match the colors on
a web page or in a presentation. When available, click Palette and then either select Make Palette From Movie to
derive a color palette from the frames used in the video program, or select Load Palette Now to import a color palette
