Chapter 15: Exporting

From making proofs for feedback from your collaborators to generating movies for the web, the Apple iPod, DVD,
Blu-ray disc, or videotape, Adobe Premiere Pro provides robust export options that are simple to use.

Choosing export formats

Exporting basics
You can export video from a sequence in the form best suited for further editing or for a viewing audience. Adobe
Premiere Pro supports export in formats for various uses and target devices.
Export files for further editing
In the course of editing, you might export editable movie or audio files in order to preview your work with effects
and transitions fully rendered, or to continue editing the files in applications other than Adobe Premiere Pro.
Similarly, you may want to export a still-image sequence to be edited in a paint or photographic program. Also, you
may want to export a still image from a single frame of video for use in a title or graphic.
After editing assets recorded to MXF files on a P2 card, you can export the edited sequence to P2 format for transfer
to another editing system that can use MXF media.
Export PDFs for collaboration
Editors commonly need to show preliminary edits to clients and other collaborators, soliciting feedback for
improvements. In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can use Clip Notes to generate PDF files containing clips of those edits.
You can send these to collaborators who can then return their comments to you in sequence markers you can read
at specific frames in the timeline.
Export to Encore for DVD, Blu-ray disc, or SWF creation
You can export video from any sequence into Adobe Encore for output to DVD, Blu-ray disc (Windows only), or
SWF. You can send content from Adobe Premiere Pro to Adobe Encore for creating an autoplay disc without
menus, or quickly create menu-based discs using the professional templates in Adobe Encore. Alternately, you can
use the deep authoring tools of Adobe Encore, Adobe Photoshop and other applications, to author professional-
quality discs. You can also export in formats appropriate for video CD (Windows only) or CD-ROM distribution.
Export project files for other systems
You can export project files, not just clips, using popular file formats such as EDL and AAF. The former can be
imported into a variety of third-party editing systems for finishing. When done, you can trim Adobe Premiere Pro
projects down to their essentials and ready them, with or without their source media, for archiving.
Export formats for various devices and web sites
Finally, using the Adobe Media Encoder, you can export video in formats suitable for devices ranging from profes-
sional tape decks to DVD players to videosharing web sites to mobile phones to portable media players to standard-
and high-definition TV sets.
