To export marker data in AVI files
In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can export marker data. Exporting marker data is useful if you plan to author a DVD in
Adobe Encore DVD. If you export marker data and specify a marker as a chapter point in Adobe Premiere Pro,
Encore DVD recognizes the chapter point so that you can easily create links to it as you author your DVD. You can
also export comments that you add to markers.
1
Choose File > Export > Movie.

In the Export Movie dialog box, click Settings.

For File Type, choose an AVI format (Uncompressed Microsoft AVI, Microsoft AVI, or Microsoft DV AVI) and
then click Compile Settings.
4
Select options to specify the data you want to export. Select Export Blank Markers to include markers that don’t
have information in the fields. (This is useful if you want to preserve the marker only.)
5
Click OK to close the Compile Settings dialog box and then specify the other options you want in the Export
Movie Settings dialog box.
To export a GIF or animated GIF
Animated GIF is best suited for solid-color motion graphics at a small frame size, such as an animated company logo.
It works better for synthetic graphics than for live-action video. It is convenient because it is viewable in most web
browsers without requiring a plug-in, but you cannot include audio in an animated GIF file. Export animated GIF
the same way you do any other file, making sure that you choose Animated GIF as the File Type), except that you
can specify special options by clicking Compile Settings in the Export Movie dialog box.
Note:
For best results, test completed Animated GIF files in a web browser before distributing.

Specify the following options, if available:
Dithering
Select to simulate colors that are not available in the web-safe color palette used by web browsers.
Dithering simulates unavailable colors using patterns that intersperse pixels from available colors. Dithered colors
may look coarse and grainy, but dithering generally improves the apparent color range and the appearance of grada-
tions. Deselect this option to move unavailable colors to the next closest color in the palette; this may cause abrupt
color transitions.
Transparency
Select None from the menu to create the movie in an opaque rectangle. Select Hard to convert one
color into a transparent area; click Color to specify the color. Select Soft to convert one color into a transparent area
and soften the edges; click Color to specify the color.
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.

Click OK to close the Compile Settings dialog box and then specify the other options you want in the Export
