Okay, everyone, so the video project is finished, we've applied our final touches. And now we're ready to export our video project. Now because we plan to publish this to YouTube at this point, I think this is a good opportunity to export a screengrab or export frame just to get that thumbnail that you can use on your YouTube channel. So just place the playhead in the position you want and click Export frame. Now when you're ready to actually export the video, you can go to File, Export media, or the shortcut key is Ctrl M. Now I want to give you a heads up it does take a while to load up, but there are a lot have options that you do have in this export window for your video project. And we will cover some of those options very shortly.

First off, we have the match sequence settings which my experience I don't recommend because it creates very small low quality file sizes. The format is very important. H 264 is a standard for internet videos youtube for sharing on the internet. The highest quality setting is quick time. And if you were focusing on audio files, you've got a more compressed audio, audio format mp3 and waveform audio is a higher quality audio. So this is where you can set the type of format for your media.

So for this project I'm doing A 10 ADP YouTube video. So there is a preset for that. If you scroll down to the bottom for HD. Next up, we can change the file name, just click the highlighted portion next to output name. My experience sometimes Adobe has actually hung up and crashed, so make sure you save before you even get into this area. So over here, I'm just selecting the name of the file.

And it's going to save it in mp4 format. And then I'm going to go ahead and click Save. Just a quick tip for YouTube SEO. You can name the actual file name based on what you want people to search for. Okay, so lower down. We're now in the different parts of In the menu, where we have more options to increase the quality, so in the video portion and the effects portion over here, you have the ability to do things like select the the LUT.

You can actually do it from the export window. But I don't recommend it because it's risky. I'd rather do it in the actual timeline. So back to the video menu. There's a lot of options here so we can see the resolution, I recommend select rendered maximum depth. And you can do a bitrate encoding to pass if you want higher quality, it's going to take longer time.

That means the video is going to run through all the frames two times. And there's a checkbox at the bottom called use maximum render quality and if you Go to the Publish menu had options to publish directly over to different social media. But personally, I prefer just to export it first so I can see the video before it goes straight out to social media. Over in the left area, we have the timeline area we can quickly render just to get a preview of the projects. And you can also change the portion of the video that's going to get exported at this point. I'm just clicking cue.

So they'll be premiere outputs this video over to the complimentary program called Adobe encoder. I like to export videos to Adobe encoder because it allows the program takes care of exporting the video in the background so you can continue to use your computer It's not going to tie up all the resources. You can also batch many video projects. And you can choose when you want to run it by pressing the play button. You can even pause the Adobe encoder while it's exporting a video project. And in the encoder, you also have options to change some of the settings before they actually go out.

You can change the file name, the format as well. So very powerful software. But guess the main thing I want to get across is that it's a good idea to get your export export video out to the Adobe encoder. So it may take a while to get there, but once it is in the encoder, you can just simply click play and that will go ahead and render your finished video You can even go back to Adobe if you want to work on another video project. And yeah, so that's how we export a video from Adobe Premiere over to the encoder. And we're almost there.

The final lesson in this course is to publish our finished video over to YouTube. So stick around for that. This process may take a while. So instead of staring at the screen, of course, you can look at the preview at the bottom. I recommend we let this run through. So go ahead and export your video project.

And we'll see you in the final lesson to publish the video over to YouTube.
