Instructional Export

So now I've completed everything on my video from pre-production to post. All the sound and effects have been integrated as well I want to export my file. If you don't know what you're doing with exporting you can easily make a file that is a gigabytes size or worse - the quality of the video could be terrible.

Below I have created a video on how to export in Premiere Pro, it's quick and simple and creates a small file size while retaining quality!

What I have used is a codec called H.264 which is designed to retain quality while keeping the file size low, you can also see I choose the quality to be 86 this for whatever reason seems to be the lowest number you can use before you start to start to see excessive noise. Also we limit the max render bit rate to 10,000 kb, now if your piece was meant for something bigger than YouTube you may want to limit that to around 14,000 but nothing more. The difference between 86 - 100 'quality' and low - high 'bitrate' is the difference between a file that is megabytes or gigabytes.

So now I have my final export down below rendered out to the point where almost no quality is lost but you still get a small file size that is easy to work with and it's great for YouTube!
