Exporting your project is the fi nal step in the video 
production process. Adobe Media Encoder off ers 
multiple high-level output formats: Windows Media, 
QuickTime, RealMedia, Adobe Flash, and MPEG. 
Within those formats you have dozens of options 
and can also export in batches.

LESSON 20 Exporting Frames, Clips, and Sequences
Getting started
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 offers a full array of export options—methods of record-
ing your projects to tape, converting them to files, or burning them to DVDs.
Recording to tape is straightforward, while file creation has many more options. 
For example, you can record only the audio portion of your project; convert a video 
segment or entire project into one of many standard file formats; or export still 
frames, sequences of still frames, or animation files.
Of greater relevance are the higher-level video encoding formats available in Adobe 
Media Encoder. You’ll use that powerful tool to create projects for posting on a 
web site, for burning to multimedia CDs, or for exporting to mobile devices using 
the new Adobe Device Central CS5 software. If you need to create Flash Video for 
web sites, you can export Flash Video with web markers. Adobe Media Encoder 
is a stand-alone application that handles exports in batches, so you can export in 
several formats simultaneously and process in the background while you work on 
other applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro.

 Note:
Note that Adobe Premiere Pro can export clips selected in the Project panel, as well as 
sequences or work areas within sequences. The content that's selected when you choose File > 
Export is what Adobe Premiere Pro will export. In most instances, that’s your sequence, but of 
course, Adobe Premiere Pro doesn’t know that. So, get in the habit of clicking your sequence to 
select it before starting your export workflow, lest you waste precious time rendering content from 
the Project panel rather than your sequence.
