Exporting Your Project

What are the key factors to keep in mind when exporting your project on Premiere Pro?  What are some mistakes that you've made so far that you can fix?

    Key factors to keep in mind when exporting your project on Premiere Pro are the sequence settings, the format and codec, and fine tuning your settings. The sequence settings are important to think about depending on where you want to deliver your project. This is because uploading on Youtube or Vimeo needs different setting compared to quickly delivering to a client or making a hi-res master. The format and codec is important for playback. The best codec to use is H.264 and the format should be based on the project but 1080p is usually the way to go. Fine tuning your settings is often overlooked and so its something to keep in mind. The article recommends checking the "Render at Maximum Depth", changing the bitrate Encoding Settings to VBR, 2 pass, and setting the max bitrate to double the target bit rate.

    Some mistakes that I've made so far that I can now fix are not fine tuning any settings. Previously, I hadn't even touched bitrate settings or turned on the "Render at Maximum Depth" setting. So taking that into account for my next export may help the quality of my work.
