Once you've finished editing your video project, Premiere Pro allows you to easily export your sequence in the format best suited for your needs. Before getting too caught up with codecs, frame rates, and other settings, however, it's essential to determine the delivery destination of your video. Where will it be screened/viewed? Are you exporting it for web upload or are you looking to deliver a high-resolution file to a client? In this quick tutorial, we'll focus on a step-by-step approach for exporting video in the H.264, ProRes and Photo-JPEG codecs.
Exporting in H.264
In order to get your export going, make sure your timeline window is highlighted and click on File > Export > Media (keyboard shortcut Cmd+M or Ctrl+M). This will open the Export Settings window.
In this episode, I show you how to install Apple's ProRes 422 codecs (plus a ton of other ones) FREE and LEGAL, and then I show you how to set it up with you.

- Apple ProRes 422: A high-quality compressed codec offering nearly all the benefits of Apple ProRes 422 HQ, but at 66 percent of the data rate for even better multistream, real-time editing performance. The target data rate of Apple ProRes 422 is approximately 147 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps.
At the top, you'll see an option to 'Match Sequence Settings.' In most cases, it's best to stay away from this and leave this checkbox unchecked.
Under 'Format,' choose H.264. This is by far one of the most popular and efficient codecs in use. These files offer good quality at a reasonable size, which make them great for web upload, as well as sharing between clients and collaborators.
Under 'Preset,' you'll see a long list of video presets. A recommended preset to get started with is Match Source – High bitrate.
This preset matches your output video to the core source settings (resolution, frame rate, etc.) and sets the bitrate settings (at the bottom) to 10 – 12 Mbps. These bitrate values are an 'average quality' starting point for 1080 HD. In order to get the optimal quality out of your export, you might want to raise these a bit higher (~ 20 Mbps or higher). Keep in mind that determining the right bitrate for your video is based on the source footage you're working with, as well as delivery needs. The higher the bitrate, the larger the file size.
Tip: You can create and save custom presets in order to quickly load them for future exports. Just specify your settings in the lower part of the Export Settings window and click on the 'Save Your Preset' button next to the 'Preset' dropdown.
Next, specify where you want to save the exported video file on your machine. Click on the blue Output Name, choose the folder, and hit 'Save' (this destination is specified under 'Summary').

Note that you can tweak specific settings individually under Basic Video Settings. For example, you can uncheck the checkbox next to the resolution dimensions (Width/Height) and adjust them yourself (e.g., when exporting a 4K sequence in 1080 HD resolution).

ProRes is another popular post-production format that allows editors to maximize performance and quality. Even though the codec was designed to be used as an editing format (not a delivery format), many clients and film festivals have adapted it as a playback codec. Here's how to export in ProRes:
Format: Quicktime
Video Codec: Apple ProRes 422 (or HQ for higher quality — but this will result in a much larger file size).
Click on Match Source under Basic Video Settings.

Apple Prores 422 Codec Download Mac
I've just found a way to sort this problem out that gets around this install 'problem': In order to get these to show and also to have access to all the other georgeous 422 codecs and other goodies, download the new QT codec pack: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396 Then use the little app UNPKG ( http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/ ) to unpack the contents by simply dragging the downloaded PKG codec pack onto the app window. This then unpacks on the desktop. Inside navigate the folders until you get to the QT .component files. Next, drag these into your Library/Quicktime/ folder and then you'll have the LT codecs ( and many others) to use in FCP 6 and all other apps like Streamclip, QT Pro etc. (I would recommend renaming the existing ones in case of problems of course) I've done a test with it and it works like a charm on my Mac Pro running 10.6.7 and FCP 6.0.6. I'm not able to create an LT sequence but if you create a new one and then drag the material on with the prompt enabled to match settings it will make an LT sequence. I was also able to render out a 422 LT clip from QT Pro and Streamclip to use in the project. All the correct 422 labels also show in the codec lists in all encoding apps. If you try and install the QT pack on anything not FCP X it will give you an error but this manual installation gets around the Apple Police and their insistence you buy everything new the minute it comes out! You can keep FCP 7 and X, I'm quite happy with 6! |
