Recording and editing a video are undoubtedly important, but export settings are also essentials. Export is a crucial part of video editing. Your whole video editing will go in vain if you don’t export your video in the right settings. There are certain things about exporting a video. We will discuss it, and we will also teach you the best export settings for Premiere Pro or best export format in which you can export your video from Premiere Pro.

Same Resolution in Every Phase

The first is that you should make sure that the video is recorded in an optimal resolution and high frames per second, for example, 1080p. Then, make sure that you edit your video in 1080p as well. And when you export the video, change the setting to 1080p. Thus, you need to keep the resolution in every phase. In this way, you will not lose the quality of the video.

You can also record the video in a 4K setting and also edit in 1080p. You can export it in 4K, or you can also export it in 1080p. Now, recording in 4K, editing and exporting in 1080p, what this will do is that the export will look better because you have added resolution to 1080p. But it does not work the other way around. You cannot record a video in 1080p and edit in 4K and then export it in 4K. It will only expand the frame of 1080p to fit in 4K.

The best way is to record, edit and export the video in the same quality. For example, record the video in 1920 x 1080 (24 FPS), edit it in 1920 x 1080 (24 FPS), and export it in 1920 x 1080 (24 FPS) for the best possible outcome.

Export Sequence of Timeline

If there are multiple videos and audio clips on your timeline and you only want to export a certain sequence, then you can do this easily with Premiere Pro. With the help of a mouse, select the clips you want to export and press the question mark key on your keyboard. This will mark the in and out point of the video. And when you export the video, it will only export the selected portion of the video on the timeline.

You can also mark in point and out point of the video by dragging the playhead. Go to the timeline and move the playhead to the point from where you want to start the video, press “i” to mark the in point and go to the end where you want to finish the video, and press “o” to mark the out point. It will create a selection of videos where you have marked in and out points. When you export the video, it will only export the selected track on the video.

8. When it comes to audio settings, don’t change anything except bitrate (kbps) and audio quality. Set audio quality to high and bitrate to 320 kbps.

Part 4. Tips for Export Video in Premiere Pro

1- Match Resolution

The first and most important tip is to know your video. You should know the resolution of the video in which you have recorded it. Try to edit the video in the same resolution and export it in the same resolution. This will maintain the consistent quality of the video. Avoid changing the resolution while editing and exporting. It will reduce the quality of the video, and you won’t get the best out of your video editing.

2- Select Perfect Bitrate

Bitrate plays an important role in the exporting of a video. There are two types of bitrates which are CBR (constant bitrate) and VBR (variable bitrate). VBR is much better than CBR because it adjusts the bitrate according to the requirement of the video.

VBR is of two types. One is VBR 1 pass, and the other is VBR 2 pass. Those who are in a hurry to export the video can choose VBR 1 pass. It only passes one sequence of the video and exports it. VBR 2 pass takes time to export because it does two passes of the sequence. In the first sequence, it assesses how to render the video properly and then makes the second pass for better output. Select the target bitrate and maximum bitrate according to the resolution of your video.

3- Select Appropriate Aspect Ratio

It is also an important thing to select the perfect aspect ratio of the video. It is decided on the basis of the platform where you will upload the video. For instance, YouTube requires 16:9, while TikTok requires 9:16. So, you need to select the aspect ratio according to your needs.

4- Save Preset

If you frequently edit videos, then you can save these settings as presets. Go to “Preset” and press the icon of saving preset. Name the preset so that you can recognize it in the future. It will save you time, and it will be easy for you next time whenever you edit the video and export it.
