Looping
Select if you want the animated GIF to play continuously without stopping. Deselect
this option if you want the animated GIF to play only once and then stop. This option is not
available for a GIF sequence.
QuickTime
QuickTime can play movies using a player application or play them directly on a Web page
by using a plug-in. Premiere always creates QuickTime movies that are flattened so that they
can play across platforms without modification. Premiere can also convert a QuickTime clip
into a fast start clip for Internet delivery. With fast start, a video can begin playing before it is
completely downloaded. QuickTime begins playback when it calculates that the movie will
be fully downloaded by the time playback reaches the end of the video. You export a
QuickTime movie by choosing QuickTime as a file type in the Export Settings dialog box.
Exporting a Fast Start movie requires an extra step.
To export a QuickTime Fast Start movie:
1
If the video program exists only in the Timeline, export it to a QuickTime movie.
See “Exporting video files” on page 304.
2
Choose File > Open. Select a completed QuickTime video file, and click OK.
3
Choose File > Export > Fast Start Movie.
4 Specify a location and filename, and click OK.
DirectShow (Windows only)
Microsoft DirectShow and Video for Windows use the Audio Video Interleaved (AVI) format,
which is a standard on the Windows platform. AVI is viewable in a player application such as
the MediaPlayer included with Windows, or directly on a Web page. DirectShow is designed
for displaying live-action video but can also play animations. You use AVI by choosing it from
the File Type menu in the Export Settings dialog box.
