2 Select an option from the Presets menu. For example, to save the file in MP3 format, select MP3 High Quality.
Specify a location in the Save In option, and a filename. Click Advanced to specify more export settings as required,
and click OK.
Export video using Share > Personal Computer command
When you export a video using Share > Personal Computer, you can change the settings and save custom settings.
1 Choose Share > Personal Computer > select the media you want to export.
2 Select an export preset to which you want to export, and click Advanced.
3 Make the desired changes to the default preset, and click OK to save the changes.
Although a clip isn’t saved at this step, Adobe Premiere Elements applies the new settings to any subsequent exports.
Export settings don’t update as you work on your project; however, it’s a good idea to make sure that all export settings
are still appropriate. When you change an option, you create a preset that you can name, save, and use in later projects.
All presets that you create are listed in the Preset menu with the default presets in Share view.
Some capture-card software and plug-in software provide their own dialog boxes with specific options. If the options
you see are different from the options described in this user guide, see the documentation for your capture card or
plug-in.
General export settings
The following options are available in the General panel of the Export Settings dialog box:
File Type Specifies the kind of file to export.
Compile Settings These options vary depending on the file type you choose. The following advanced settings options
are available for animated GIFs:
• Dithering Simulates colors that are not available in the web-safe color panel used by web browsers. Dithering
simulates unavailable colors by using patterns that intersperse pixels from available colors. Dithered colors may look
coarse and grainy, but dithering generally improves the apparent color range and the appearance of gradations.
Deselect this option to replace unavailable colors with the next closest color in the panel; this may cause abrupt color
transitions.
• Transparency menu Includes the following options: None creates the movie in an opaque rectangle. Hard converts
one color into a transparent area. Color specifies the color. Soft converts one color into a transparent area and softens
the edges.
• Looping Specifies that an animated GIF plays continuously without stopping. Deselect this option if you want the
animated GIF to play only once and then stop.
Range Specifies the range of time to export. Work Area Bar exports the frame range indicated by the work area
markers. If you are exporting clips from the Monitor panel and In and Out points are marked, you can select In to Out
to export the marked range only.
Export Video Exports the video tracks. Deselect to prevent exporting video tracks.
Export Audio Exports the audio tracks. Deselect to prevent exporting audio tracks.
Add To Project When Finished Adds the exported file to the Project view of the Task panel after exporting is complete.
Beep When Finished Specifies that an alert sound plays when exporting is complete.
