306 CHAPTER 11
Producing Final Video
4 Choose Video Settings from the menu at the top of the dialog box and specify the
following options:
For Compressor, choose the codec (compressor/decompressor) for Premiere 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 Export Settings panel. See
"Setting up a video codec" on page 298.
For Depth, choose the color depth, or the number of colors to include in video you export.
•
This menu may not be available if the selected Compressor supports only one color depth. You
can also 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 you
prepared and saved previously. You can load color palettes in the .ACO (Photoshop color
swatch), .ACT (Photoshop color palette), or .PAL (Windows palette—Windows only) format.
Note: The QuickTime file type lets you attach a 256-color palette to a movie of any bit depth. This
lets you specify a palette for 24-bit movies to use when displaying on 8-bit monitors, and it prevents
palette "flashing" by letting you attach the same palette to many movies. Video for Windows
supports attaching a palette only to an 8-bit movie.
Specify the Frame Size dimensions, in pixels, for video frames you export. Select 4:3 Aspect
•
to constrain the frame size to the 4:3 aspect ratio used by conventional television. Some codecs
support one or a specific set of frame sizes. Increasing the frame size displays more detail but
uses more disk space and requires more processing during playback. See "Measuring frame size
and resolution" on page 344.
For Frame Rate, choose the number of frames per second for video you export. Some
•
codecs support a specific set of frame rates. Increasing the frame rate may produce smoother
motion (depending on the original frame rates of the source clips) but uses more disk space.
See "Understanding frame rates in relation to the timebase" on page 336.
