General export settings


The following options are available in the General panel of the Export Settings dialog box:

File Type Select the kind of file you want to export.

Advanced Settings Click if available. These options vary depending on the file type you choose. The following advanced settings options are available for Animated GIF or GIF Sequences:
  • Dithering: Select to simulate colors that are not available in the Web-safe color palette used by Web browsers. Dithering simulates unavailable colors using patterns that intersperse pixels from available colors. Dithered colors may look coarse and grainy, but dithering generally improves the apparent color range and the appearance of gradations. Deselect this option to move unavailable colors to the next closest color in the palette; this may cause abrupt color transitions.
  • Transparency: Select None from the menu to create the movie in an opaque rectangle. Select Hard to convert one color into a transparent area; click Color to specify the color. Select Soft to convert one color into a transparent area and soften the edges; click Color to specify the color.
  • Looping: Select if you want the animated GIF to play continuously without stopping. Deselect this option if you want the animated GIF to play only once and then stop. This option is not available for a GIF sequence.

    • Range Select the range of time to export. If the Timeline or the Program view is active, you can select Work Area to export the frame range marked by the work area markers (see Previewing a video program). If you are exporting from the Source view or a Clip window, and In and Out points are marked, you can select In to Out to export the marked range only.

    Export Video Select to export the video tracks, or deselect to prevent exporting video tracks.

    Export Audio Select to export the audio tracks, or deselect to prevent exporting audio tracks.

    Open When Finished Select if you want the exported file to be opened in Premiere after exporting is complete.

    Beep When Finished Select if you want Premiere to sound an alert when exporting is complete.

    Embedding Options Select Project Link from this menu if you want the exported file to include information necessary to use the Edit Original command. When a file contains this information, you can open and edit the original project from within another Premiere project or from another application that supports the command. Select None from this menu if you do not want to include the information.
