Adobe Premiere Pro CS3

Export a movie file for further editing

You can export a movie file, without encoding it, from any sequence. After you’ve edited the files, you can add them back into your project. Since they are typically rendered without compression at the full resolution of the project, you can edit these files like any other clip without loss of quality or performance. You can export a movie file when you want to flatten the contents of a multitrack sequence into a single video and single audio track. You can select an AVI or QuickTime file type to export a movie file to another application for additional editing.

Note: You cannot export a movie file into an HDV format file. You can, however, use the Adobe Media Encoder to export a movie into a high-definition MPEG-2 format file. Also, you can export an HDV sequence directly to tape on an HDV device (Windows only).
  1. Do one of the following:

    • To export a sequence, select the sequence in the Timeline panel or Program Monitor.

    • To export a clip, select the clip in the Source Monitor or Project panel.

  2. To specify a range of frames to export, do one of the following:

    • In a sequence, set the work area.

    • In a clip, set an In point and Out point.

  3. Choose File > Export > Movie.
  4. Click Settings.
  5. In the Export Movie Settings dialog box, select General.
  6. From the File Type menu, choose the file type suitable for your target application.

    Use Uncompressed Microsoft AVI (Windows only) to export a high-definition movie file.

  7. In the Export Movie Settings dialog box, select Video, then choose the Video settings required for your output.
  8. Click OK to close the Settings dialog box.
  9. Specify a location and filename, then click OK.

    If you want to cancel exporting, press Esc. It may take several seconds to cancel the operation.

Use the Save and Load buttons in the Export Movie Settings dialog box to save and 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.
