Subtitles of the Movie

After assembling, editing, adding titles and transitions and perhaps a few effects you're finally ready to export your finished video. You can export footage from within a sequence, from an individual clip, or even a single frame of an individual clip. You can export the entire sequence or just the portion below the work area bar, the work area bar is this shaded bar at the top of the timeline. Likewise you can export an entire clip or just the portion between the in and out points as you've defined them here in the source monitor. You can export video to a variety of media and formats including, you can export a sequence to DVD, you can record a sequence directly to video tape as it plays from your computer. You can export a video file for viewing over the world wide web, you can export an avi or QuickTime video file for viewing from a hard drive, removable cartridge or cd-rom. You can also export projects to formats provided by third party software and hardware manufacturers. Now most of your exporting will be done from two places, file, export movie or frame, by the way there's where you export a single frame from a clip but if you choose export movie you'll get the export movie dialog which will prompt you for location where you want to save your file. The settings button here in the lower right hand corner will open up this very deep and dense export movie settings. This is probably gonna take you the longest time to master by practicing the various categories, general, video, key frame and rendering and audio. For each section you have a variety of options including the file type, notice that the file types you can export to, include Microsoft DV, AVI, Microsoft AVI, windows wave form, animated GIF, aiff audio file, GIF, animated GIF, filmstrip file. The video category includes the compressor you want to use, color depth, frame size, frame rate, you have your key frame and rendering options such as rendering to fields or no fields, upper field first, lower field first, the inner lays. Then you have your audio export options including the audio compressor, sample rate, sample type, channels and interleave. Now in addition to this export movie settings dialog if that wasn't enough to put on your plate for mastering the export possibilities with Premiere you've also got the file export. Adobe media encoder, notice that this is grayed out so if I click on my timeline down here I now have that option available. Adobe media encoder, that brings up the export settings in the encoder here you have a whole additional set of settings. Notice that for format you have additional formats, you can export to Adobe Flash Video, QuickTime, real media format or windows media, for each of these you also have the range. Notice there's a work area or an entire sequence. You can apply presets that will set up the various export settings for you, based on a general description here audio download, hdtv, 1080p, 24, 25 high quality. You got Microsoft zune audio, vary zune video formats. NTSD which is the video format for North American, download to 128k for web delivery, 256, 512, you've also got your NT source to streaming options for your windows media. Then you have your PAL options, PAL the Trio, Palm Tunis, so this are all presets that will set up your various export settings. Notice that their different depending on which format you choose. You also have a summary here of your export settings as well as a tab for filters, audio multiplexer, and then others. In addition to the export settings and the various tabs over here to the right you have a preview, a very large preview, window to the left where you can preview the output of your file based on your export settings and compare that to the source. So there's my output, there's my source, notice that there's a little bit of blurring there based on the export settings that I've set up over here. Namely probably the compression this is gonna be mpeg layer 3 audio compression. CBR, constant bit rate and coding to 200 kilobytes per second. Notice if I change this to a lower 56, it really gets blurry there so this source and output tabs are very handy way to see what the output will look like. Based on your various export setting so this adobe immediate encoder is really a valuable tool for setting up your export options and then previewing the output. So the number of export options provided by Premiere Pro CS3 under the file export menu, including this Adobe Media encoder can be daunting and the complex issues of compression and video standards can be rather esoteric and difficult to understand fortunately that's where these presets come in. So I recommend that you use some of the presets first and then notice the types of setting that those presets create. So basically when you export a sequence from these export movie settings in either of these two locations the settings will depend on the kind of output that you want and to make intelligent choices about your project export options you need to have a basic understanding of the diverse topics of frame rates, frame sizes, compression and audio quality and more. Which ever settings you decide upon the video is first processed using the settings you specified when setting up the project, exporting the tape is more straight forward since many of the output settings are predetermined by your output goal. Exporting directly to DVD is also less involved because your options are limited by the type specifications of the DVD spec and simplified by the helpful Premiere Pro presets. On the other hand the movie file output choices are numerous due to the sheer number of available file formats, the number of options is even more expansive if you use the Adobe media encoder as I just demonstrated as you saw the media encoder provides a number of formats each with its own set of extensive and involved settings. For a more detailed review of all of these options see my full VTC tutorial on Premiere Pro CS3.
