Pre-encoding tasks
In general, it's best to apply certain processing options—such as deinterlacing and cropping—to an exported file
prior to encoding it to a particular format. Doing so can avoid visual artifacts associated with performing the same
tasks after encoding. The cropping options and deinterlacing options you specify prior to encoding are sometimes
referred to as pre-encoding options.
Note: You can access the Noise Reduction filter option (also considered a pre-encoding task) by selecting the Filters tab.
Deinterlace the source prior to encoding
❖
In the Output tab of the Export Settings dialog box, select Deinterlace.
Crop the source prior to encoding
1
In the Export Settings dialog box, click the Source tab.
Select the Crop button and do any of the following:
2
• To crop the image interactively, drag the sides or corner handles of the crop box around the source image.
• To crop numerically, enter the values for Left, Top, Right, Bottom, in pixels.
• To constrain the proportion of the cropped image, choose an option from the Crop Proportions menu.
3
Click the Output tab to preview how the cropped image will appear.
To eliminate black areas resulting from cropping, select Scale to Fit.

Note: When you actually encode the video, make sure that you set the width and height values in the encoder to match
these scale height and width settings. The minimum size to which you can crop an image is 40 pixels by 40 pixels.
Filter options for encoding
Noise, grain, and similar artifacts can interfere with the efficient compression of images. For this reason, the size of
the final output file may in some cases be reduced by applying a noise reduction filter to an image or movie before
compression takes place.
In the Export Settings dialog box, you can specify whether to apply a noise reduction filter before compression, and
you can also set the amount of noise filtering to apply.
If you intend to remove noise and grain from a project for reasons other than reduction of compressed file size,
consider using the Noise & Grain effects in Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects.
