Hello. In today's lesson, we'll examine the export process in Premiere Pro. I'm gonna open a recent project in Premiere Pro. Choosing from the video effects project. And, I've already chosen the Priam nest sequence here, as you can see. You can drag and drop the sequence directly into there if you don't have that showing. And, we're gonna get it ready to export. You can export the full video or any section as desired. To export the full video, we'll set an end point by going to the end of the sequence. So I'm gonna tap the E key, which I used for creating a shortcut to go to the end of the clip. If you have an extended keyboard, you can hit the end key to do that. And I'm gonna make an outpoint in the clip in the sequence, by clicking the O key. So that establishes an outpoint we already have an end point at zero. And the reason I do this, because you could export the sequence without setting an out point. But doing so will prevent you from accidentally outputting a sequence longer than expected if you have any clips further down the timeline that you might've placed there but you are not currently visible. Cause you're not all the way down at the very end, in your view. So, it's always best to do one little more review of your sequence before you were exporting to avoid mistakes. This will limit that from happening. You can of course set in and out points anywhere in the timeline to limit what's exported. But as you'll see in the moment, you can even do that when you get to the export window. So with the timeline selected in blue, as you see here. We're going to go to file, export media and there's a shortcut. Command or control M. Here I could see my clip that I'm going to export. I'll move the play head all the way to the end. So you can see you can actually scrub or play through with that slider. And, right now the range of this blue slider is set for sequence into out. Which I already created. Or you could say entire sequence. Which in this case it will be the same. Or if you made in and out points different places in the clip, you would choose work area. And then of course you have the ability to customize that. And if I were to choose custom, I could even set the range here where I like with these sliders. So I could set a new endpoint. If I move this here. Click this button that sets that new endpoint like in place. I'll do the entire sequence or sequence into out for this. At the top here, we're looking at output. You could scale to fit, scale to fill or stretch to fill. In this case, everything is matching up pretty well. So it's not making any changes. But sometimes you'll see letter boxing or things of that nature. And you could actually modify the output so that it fits the coordinates. If I go to the source here. The source at the top, this even allows you to use a crop tool if you wish. If I would put that in, I could actually crop the video as desired for different kinds of output. Say for Instagram, maybe you crop it square or something. You have different proportions already preset in here that you could use as well. Or set in pixel dimensions. On the right side here, you can see there are export settings. And many more settings and controls that can be applied. In this initial review of export settings, we're just going to look at what happens if I choose match sequence settings. Well, check that. A lot of the options go away here, format and so on. And you can see that there is an output name. This is a destination for the file. So you decide, you gonna decide where you want to put that. It shows you what kind of format it would put it in. Then it gives you a summary the output in dimensions and frame rate, quality level, the duration and the audio sampling rate. All of that's visible there and showing you that the serial source sequence matches that. For now though, I'm going to cancel the output because we'll examine some preset output settings we can use to tailor the output for a specific end uses in the next lesson. So in this lesson you've seen what the initial setup is for exporting your project. In the next lesson, we'll examine the rest of the settings in detail. Let's go check it out.
