1 00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:01,133 - [Instructor] I'm gonna show you 2 00:00:01,133 --> 00:00:04,360 how to export video using Adobe Premiere. 3 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,680 I'm using Premiere 5.5. 4 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,540 Depending on the version you're using 5 00:00:08,540 --> 00:00:12,070 you should have an interface that looks somewhat similar. 6 00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:13,850 First, select the the footage 7 00:00:13,850 --> 00:00:16,440 or sequence you wish to export. 8 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,150 You can click on the timeline. 9 00:00:18,150 --> 00:00:20,580 When you do this you will notice the gold highlight 10 00:00:20,580 --> 00:00:22,853 indicating that it is the active selection. 11 00:00:23,810 --> 00:00:26,480 You may also click on either footage or sequence 12 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,640 from inside your project window. 13 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,150 When you click on a clip or sequence 14 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:31,370 from the project window 15 00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:33,370 you'll notice a lighter shade of gray 16 00:00:33,370 --> 00:00:35,960 indicating it is the active selection. 17 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,530 Once you've made your selection 18 00:00:37,530 --> 00:00:40,250 move up to the menu bar and the file drop down 19 00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:43,383 and select export, then select media. 20 00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:48,623 Or you can hold down control or command and M. 21 00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:53,690 Once you do this a new dialogue window will appear. 22 00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:57,110 You will want to check the source range drop down menu. 23 00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:59,350 You will notice it indicates work area. 24 00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:00,820 This is the default. 25 00:01:00,820 --> 00:01:03,230 In this case I have defined a work area 26 00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:05,340 in the actual sequence or timeline. 27 00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:07,670 If we were to export using this setting 28 00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:09,930 we would only be outputting this portion 29 00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:12,080 of the sequence or raw footage. 30 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,070 This indicates we would only be exporting 31 00:01:14,070 --> 00:01:16,610 eight seconds and 17 frames. 32 00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:19,270 You can manually override the work area selection 33 00:01:19,270 --> 00:01:22,760 by inputting new in and out points on the slider. 34 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,600 To do this simply scrub through the footage. 35 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,360 When you find the desired point 36 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,810 click on the set endpoint icon 37 00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:32,380 so that you set a new in or out point. 38 00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:36,050 You will notice the source range will now display custom. 39 00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:39,010 You can get an indication here of the exact time 40 00:01:39,010 --> 00:01:41,920 of the portion of the clip that you would be outputting. 41 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,333 You see we would be exporting eight seconds and 11 frames. 42 00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:49,060 This is a great feature to use if you had raw footage 43 00:01:49,060 --> 00:01:53,240 and only wanted to output a single shot or series of shots. 44 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,640 The third setting is entire sequence. 45 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,890 In this case, this is the option we want to select. 46 00:01:59,890 --> 00:02:01,760 We can now see we would be outputting 47 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,070 the entire sequence or 29 seconds. 48 00:02:05,070 --> 00:02:06,660 This happens to be the length of the spot 49 00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:09,150 I have edited together, so we're good. 50 00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:11,863 Next, we will move over to the export settings area. 51 00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:15,740 It will default to display the last settings you used. 52 00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:17,360 It appears I was outputting a file 53 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,340 to be ingested into Avid, 54 00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:24,340 an MXF OP1A in the XD Cam HD 50 bit format. 55 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,500 We will be selecting our format in a second. 56 00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:32,340 First, if you're using Premiere 5.5 and higher 57 00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:34,440 you have a very useful tool. 58 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,483 It is the match sequence setting. 59 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:39,810 By selecting this option Premiere 60 00:02:39,810 --> 00:02:42,600 will look at your original source and output it 61 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,870 using its native format, codec and size. 62 00:02:45,870 --> 00:02:48,090 Whenever possible you want footage 63 00:02:48,090 --> 00:02:50,290 in the highest possible quality. 64 00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:52,540 Using this option would achieve this. 65 00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:55,510 In fact, you would not be transcoding the footage at all. 66 00:02:55,510 --> 00:02:57,040 You would be copying the original 67 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,990 or trimming the undesired portion. 68 00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:01,890 If you cannot export a file in its native format 69 00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:03,490 be it for size considerations 70 00:03:03,490 --> 00:03:06,730 or simply because the end user or playback platform 71 00:03:06,730 --> 00:03:08,370 can't accept whatever native format 72 00:03:08,370 --> 00:03:12,940 your footage or sequence is, I recommend using H.264. 73 00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:15,770 What we want to do in the export settings box 74 00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:19,760 is select H.264 in the format drop down. 75 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,833 Once we do that Premiere looks at the source clip. 76 00:03:23,810 --> 00:03:25,480 Here you can see it's telling us 77 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,940 that our source is 1920 by 1080p 78 00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:32,000 and 29.97 frames per second. 79 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,700 Once you've selected a format, or in this case a codec, 80 00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:37,580 Premiere will then select from the list 81 00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:40,070 of pre-programmed output options and select 82 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:42,733 the setting most closely resembling the source. 83 00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:46,920 Here it is telling us of the available factory settings 84 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,813 our clip most closely resembles HDTV 1080p 29.97. 85 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,030 You can see here there are a wide variety 86 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:58,670 of choices from iPads to YouTube HD. 87 00:03:58,670 --> 00:04:00,530 Use these presets if you wish to output 88 00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:02,970 something other than what is recommended. 89 00:04:02,970 --> 00:04:05,410 We're going to use Premiere's recommendation. 90 00:04:05,410 --> 00:04:07,070 It's a good starting point. 91 00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:11,453 We will change one setting in the second area, here. 92 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,690 Make sure the video tab is selected 93 00:04:14,690 --> 00:04:17,453 then scroll down to bit rate settings. 94 00:04:18,460 --> 00:04:20,190 We have three options in the bit rate 95 00:04:20,190 --> 00:04:22,300 and coding drop down menu. 96 00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:24,440 I will discuss all three options. 97 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,230 But first I want to show you the setting 98 00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:28,640 that I would recommend when the size of the file 99 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,840 you're exporting matters. 100 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:35,760 We want to select VBR or Variable Bit Rate Two-pass. 101 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,900 When you select VBR you will have to input two numbers. 102 00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:42,570 The first being the target bit rate. 103 00:04:42,570 --> 00:04:45,160 Let's set that to 10 megabytes per second 104 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,220 and a maximum 50 megabytes per second. 105 00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:49,830 These two parameters tell your encoding software 106 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:53,450 to try and export a file that is 10 megabits per second 107 00:04:53,450 --> 00:04:57,300 but if you need to go ahead and use up to 50 megabytes. 108 00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:01,340 Using VBR our transcoder will analyze the footage. 109 00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:03,470 During shots where there is not a lot of motion 110 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:07,200 or rapid scene changes it will transcode at 10 megabytes. 111 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,120 However in frames that do have a lot of motion, 112 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,170 like a missile shoot or a hockey game, 113 00:05:12,170 --> 00:05:14,170 it will use a higher bit rate 114 00:05:14,170 --> 00:05:16,780 with 50 megabytes per second being the ceiling. 115 00:05:16,780 --> 00:05:19,710 A two-pass will play through the entire clip, 116 00:05:19,710 --> 00:05:22,120 the first time only analyzing the clip. 117 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,610 Then it makes a second pass 118 00:05:23,610 --> 00:05:25,810 where the actual transcoding will occur. 119 00:05:25,810 --> 00:05:28,620 For this reason, a two-pass encode will take 120 00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:32,500 twice as long as a VBR one-pass or a CBR. 121 00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:35,090 For a VBR one-pass you would still input 122 00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:38,230 the two parameters, a target and a maximum, 123 00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:41,093 but the analyzing and adjustment are made on the fly. 124 00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:44,180 A VBR two-pass will normally result 125 00:05:44,180 --> 00:05:46,200 in a better looking file. 126 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,943 We can always get an estimated file size down here. 127 00:05:50,030 --> 00:05:52,920 Using a VBR two-pass with a target of 10 128 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,210 and a maximum of 50 our file would be 35 megabytes. 129 00:05:57,210 --> 00:05:59,760 If we were to output this file in its native format 130 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,820 it would have been a file 131 00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:03,760 that was slightly under 300 megabytes. 132 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,540 We have reduced the file size by almost 10 times. 133 00:06:06,540 --> 00:06:08,440 That would certainly make transferring this file 134 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,950 via FTP to DMA Navy or Chinfo via Lighthouse 135 00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:13,870 a lot more reasonable. 136 00:06:13,870 --> 00:06:16,600 If saving file size wasn't your concern, 137 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,480 or if time was more important, 138 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,020 you would want to use a CBR or Constant Bit Rate. 139 00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:25,020 Using this option you will only input one number 140 00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:28,410 and it will output a file using that parameter. 141 00:06:28,410 --> 00:06:31,260 Let's set this back to the settings we want to use, 142 00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:35,510 a VBR two-pass at target of 10 and maximum of 50. 143 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:37,970 Next, we always want to check what our file 144 00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:39,913 looks like before we export it. 145 00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:43,720 We can do that by coming over here. 146 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,360 You will notice source is selected. 147 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,080 This window is displaying the original file. 148 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,500 We always want to take a look 149 00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,650 at what our file will look like when it's outputted. 150 00:06:53,650 --> 00:06:56,980 To achieve that select the output tab. 151 00:06:56,980 --> 00:06:59,310 Now the window displays what the exported clip 152 00:06:59,310 --> 00:07:01,820 will look like after the settings you have selected 153 00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:04,140 or modified are applied. 154 00:07:04,140 --> 00:07:05,760 You will want to come down here 155 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,560 and scroll or scrub through the footage. 156 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,910 Always ensure that you're not seeing subjects 157 00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:14,070 that are tall and skinny or short and fat. 158 00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:16,090 If they are you are probably about 159 00:07:16,090 --> 00:07:18,340 to output a file that is anamorphic 160 00:07:18,340 --> 00:07:20,140 and we don't want to do that. 161 00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:22,940 You will want to come up to the output name. 162 00:07:22,940 --> 00:07:24,490 Click on this. 163 00:07:24,490 --> 00:07:26,050 It will, by default, 164 00:07:26,050 --> 00:07:29,110 use the name of your clip or sequence. 165 00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:31,523 You can override that by entering a new name. 166 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,440 You can also select where you want the file to be saved to. 167 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,383 It defaults to where you last outputted a file. 168 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,660 Here we see it's going to our desktop. 169 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,840 That's fine. 170 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,100 We always want to know where to find our file. 171 00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,000 We are ready to pull the trigger on this encode. 172 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,820 Before we do that let me show you one other option. 173 00:07:54,820 --> 00:07:56,370 If you come down over here 174 00:07:56,370 --> 00:07:58,380 to the right of the preset drop down 175 00:07:58,380 --> 00:08:00,793 there's an icon that looks like a floppy disc. 176 00:08:01,650 --> 00:08:03,700 If we click on it you have the option 177 00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:06,620 to save the setting we have just customized. 178 00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:09,590 I recommend saving your settings. 179 00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:11,300 It will save time next time 180 00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:13,040 when you need to transcode a file 181 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,720 or in case you transcode a file 182 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,520 and play it back and discover there's a problem. 183 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,370 You can come back to the setting you used 184 00:08:19,370 --> 00:08:22,163 and make a slight variation and try to export it again. 185 00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:27,210 Once you have named your user preset click on okay. 186 00:08:27,210 --> 00:08:29,050 It will save it to the user settings 187 00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:31,623 or top portion of the preset drop down. 188 00:08:33,010 --> 00:08:35,483 Here you can see the setting that we just saved. 189 00:08:37,030 --> 00:08:40,980 I want to show you a few user settings I have pre-saved. 190 00:08:40,980 --> 00:08:42,360 They're all slight variations 191 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,280 on the VBR two-pass with a target of 10 192 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,403 and a maximum of 50 that I have created and saved. 193 00:08:49,330 --> 00:08:51,010 Here are a few other options. 194 00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:53,040 If we were to use a target of 20 195 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,820 and a maximum of 50 our file would be 69 megabytes. 196 00:08:57,820 --> 00:09:00,300 A target of 30, maximum of 50 197 00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:03,193 would result in a file that is 104 megabytes. 198 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,493 All that from a file that was originally 300 megabytes. 199 00:09:08,910 --> 00:09:12,020 It's always going to be a judgment call on your part. 200 00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:14,110 If you're on a boat or in the middle of nowhere 201 00:09:14,110 --> 00:09:16,180 trying to use a mobile hotspot 202 00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:18,870 you're going to want to use a VBR two-pass 203 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:20,733 with a 10 to 50 range. 204 00:09:21,620 --> 00:09:24,370 If you're at headquarters and have a great pipeline 205 00:09:24,370 --> 00:09:26,530 you'll want to send either native format 206 00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:31,060 or at least a VBR of 30 to 50, or even a CBR of 50. 207 00:09:31,060 --> 00:09:33,920 Let's set this back to the settings we want to use, 208 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,020 a VBR two-pass at target of 10 and maximum of 50. 209 00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:40,270 Let's pull the trigger on this export. 210 00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:43,890 H.264 is a very complicated transcode. 211 00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:46,460 My experience is it takes two-to-one 212 00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:49,090 to transcode a H.264 file. 213 00:09:49,090 --> 00:09:52,060 A minute file will take two minutes to transcode. 214 00:09:52,060 --> 00:09:54,890 In this case we have a 29 second clip 215 00:09:54,890 --> 00:09:58,300 that will take a minute to transcode into H.264. 216 00:09:58,300 --> 00:09:59,970 Because we are using two-pass 217 00:09:59,970 --> 00:10:02,960 it will take twice that time or two minutes. 218 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,720 After a moment Premiere will give you 219 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,460 an estimated time to finish 220 00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:09,560 and you can see it saying approximately two minutes. 221 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:12,000 I'm not gonna make you watch this entire thing. 222 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,620 I will fast forward and show you the final product, 223 00:10:14,620 --> 00:10:15,930 a file that has been reduced 224 00:10:15,930 --> 00:10:18,650 from 300 megabytes to 35 megabytes. 225 00:10:18,650 --> 00:10:21,100 It's still HD and looks great. 226 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:22,580 I hope this helped. 227 00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:23,848 Thanks for
