This is where you will keep the \u201cstand-alone\u201d movie files that you render from the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prepare a final rendering of a Premiere project, you should use the Work Area Bar in the Timeline to select the section that you intend to export.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, referring to Premiere\u2019s Main Menu, go to File &gt; Export &gt; Media, to organize and prepare the rendering process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">H.264 or MP4, for Playback Purposes<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a good, straightforward, and recommended output compression for both Apple and Windows operating systems, particularly for the workstations in the Animation Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Export Settings Monitor Window, click on the Output tab:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deselect the \u201cMatch Sequence\u201d option in this case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Format: Choose \u201cH.264\u201d and make sure to \u201ccheck\/select\u201d both:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Export Video, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Export Audio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Output Name: Click on the blue, underscore name.

However, you will not be able to play such a file, especially if it\u2019s in high-definition format. Therefore, you will need to export an additional QuickTime file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you export a QuickTime from Premiere, you should make a folder called \u201cmovies\u201d in your project folder (located, as usual, on the Scratch Disk).
