dragging the work area bar.
5. Select your DVD burner.
When your project is ready for export, place an unused DVD disc in the DVD drive and
choose File > Export > Export To DVD. In the Export to DVD dialog box, name your DVD
disk and select the Chapter Markers At Timeline Markers option. Next, select DVD Burner
on the left, and choose your DVD Burner from the list. Make sure that the burner status
indicates that the DVD burner is on the system, and then choose a recording option.
6. Select your encoding settings.
Select Encoding from the list to view the DVD encoding presets from the pop-up menu.
Choose a setting based on the length of your sequence. If your sequence is feature length
(90–130 minutes), choose a setting with “4Mb” in it. If your sequence is under 90 minutes,
choose a setting with “7Mb” in it. To let Adobe Premiere Pro determine the best
compression for your content, choose a variable bit rate (VBR) setting over a constant bit
rate (CBR) setting.

7. Burn the DVD.
Once you’ve selected all your settings, click the Record button to start burning the DVD. If
you receive a message indicating that the required disc space is higher than the DVD
disc's
capacity, choose a lower-quality encoding preset or shorten the export range of your
timeline and then try burning the DVD.
8. Play your movie.
When your DVD burner is done recording, play it on the DVD player in your computer or
on a standard DVD player to check the quality.
For a wider range of options, you can export your projects to Adobe Encore DVD, where
you can add titles, buttons, and multiple audio tracks to your DVDs.

About projects
A
project
is a single Adobe Premiere Pro file that contains video sequences and
references
to the media associated with the sequences. A project also stores information about
sequences and media, such as settings for media capture, transitions, and audio mixing.
Within a single project file, you can edit individual segments as separate sequences, and
then combine the segments into a finished program by nesting them in a longer
sequence. Similarly, you can store multiple variations of a sequence in the same project.
You can organize a project’s media and sequences using bins, which work like the folders
in Windows Explorer.
Starting a new project
In most cases, you can start a project simply by using one of the presets provided in the
New Project dialog box. The presets included with Adobe Premiere Pro include common
project types. Preserve editing quality by using a preset that represents the specifications
of your original media. For example, if you shot footage on DV, use the DV preset. If you
need to specify lower-quality settings for output (such as streaming Web video), don’t
