Saving and sharing your movies

Sharing to Video CD
Save to Video CD or Super Video CD
You can create VCD and SVCD-compatible MPEG files by using the VCD Compatible and SVCD Compatible presets,
respectively. Adobe Premiere Elements exports the MPEG file to the hard disk, but you must use a VCD authoring
program to burn those files to a CD.
1 Click Share in the Tasks panel, and then click Personal Computer.
2 Choose MPEG from the list at the top of the panel.
3 Choose NTSC SVCD, PAL SVCD, NTSC VCD, or PAL SVCD, from the Presets menu, depending on your desired
output.
4 (Optional) Click Advanced, and specify other options.
5 Click Save.
Adobe Premiere Elements saves the movie to a new VCD or SVCD MPEG file.
Note: Adobe Premiere Elements will not burn the VCD or SVCD file to a CD. For that, you will need third-party software.

Video CD formats
You can store files in Video CD (VCD) format with a CD burner; a DVD burner isn’t required. However, because of
this format’s smaller frame size and greater compression, it’s quality is lower than that of VHS—much lower than DVD
quality. The benefit of this lower quality is a smaller file size suitable for CDs, which can store only 700 MB.
Super Video CD (SVCD) format delivers greater picture resolution than VCD. Though SVCD files are larger files than
VCD files, they are still much smaller than files in DVD format.
Most DVD players can play VCDs, but fewer can play SVCDs. However, most computers with CD-ROM drives and
the appropriate software can play either type of video CD.
Common settings for Sharing
Customize settings for sharing
Regardless of the file type you choose for sharing, the presets (default settings) are adequate for most applications and
produce high-quality results. However, you can change them if you have specific requirements not addressed by the
presets. You can specify custom settings when sharing using the Personal Computer or Mobile Phones And Players
options.
Important: Changing the Advanced settings without an in-depth understanding of video can produce undesirable results
during playback.
