later quickly load export settings that you use frequently. Loading saved settings is
particularly useful when you create several types of video files (for example, NTSC and
Web video) from the same project.
To export a sequence as a file using the Adobe Media Encoder:
1
In the Timeline window, activate the sequence you want to export, and choose File >
Export > Adobe Media Encoder.
2
Choose an option from the Format menu.
3
Choose an option in the Preset menu. The available presets depend on the format you
selected.
4
To override the settings of the current preset, click the headings in the lower left of the
Transcode Settings dialog box and adjust settings as needed (see “Using Adobe Media
Encoder transcode presets” on page 292).
5
Click OK.
6
Specify a name and location, choose an Export Range, and click Save.
Note: If you enter a comment and want to save it with the current settings, create a new
preset (see “Using Adobe Media Encoder transcode presets” on page 292).

Exporting to videotape
You can record your edited sequence onto videotape directly from your computer. For
best results, use device control to precisely output to a connected DV camcorder or an
analog deck that can be controlled by third party software written for Adobe Premiere Pro.
If you don’t have a device that Adobe Premiere Pro can control, you can still play the
sequence and record the playback output manually. For more about device control, see
“Using device control” on page 67.
When you record to videotape using non-IEEE 1394 connections, video quality depends
on the settings you specified in the Project Settings dialog box. Many video-capture cards
include compatible plug-in software that provides a menu command for recording to
videotape. Consequently, if the options you see are different than those described here,
refer to your capture card or plug-in documentation for instructions on the most efficient
way to export to tape.
Preparing a DV program for videotape recording
When you record a DV sequence to DV tape, all that is required is the IEEE 1394
connection
to the DV device. However, if you plan to record DV audio and video to an analog format,
you’ll need a device that is capable of converting DV audio and video to analog using the
connectors supported by your analog video recorder. Most DV cameras and all DV video
tape recorders are capable of this conversion; some DV cameras require you to record the
video to DV tape, and then dub the DV tape to the analog video recorder.
To prepare a sequence for recording to DV tape:
1
Connect the DV device (camcorder or deck) to your computer using an IEEE 1394
connection. The small 4-pin connector attaches to the DV device, and the large 6-pin
connector attaches to the computer. The connection point on your DV device may be
marked DV IN/OUT, IEEE 1394, FireWire, or iLink.
2
Turn the DV camcorder on, and set it to VTR (VCR) mode.
3
Start Adobe Premiere Pro, and open your project.
4
Choose Project > Project Settings > General. Click Playback Settings.
Note: When you create a DV project, the Editing Mode is automatically and permanently
set to DV Playback, which provides additional Playback Settings.
