Keyframe and Rendering export settings

When you choose Keyframe and Rendering options from the menu at the top of the Export Movie Settings dialog box, you can specify the following settings as needed:

Ignore Audio Effects Select to export audio without processing applied effects. This option can be useful for exporting a rough cut, but remember to deselect it for the final cut.

Ignore Video Effects Select to export video without processing applied effects. This option can be useful for exporting a rough cut, but remember to deselect it for the final cut.

Ignore Audio Rubber Bands Select to process a video program excluding changes made using the Volume or Pan rubberband controls in the Timeline. This option can be useful for exporting a rough cut, but remember to deselect it for the final cut.

Optimize Stills Select to use still images efficiently in exported video files. For example, if a still image has a duration of 2 seconds in a project set to 30 frames per second, Premiere will create one 2-second frame instead of 60 frames at 1/30 of a second each. Selecting this option can save disk space if you used still images. Deselect this option only if the exported video file exhibits playback problems when displaying the still images.

Frames Only at Markers Select when you want to render only the frames at which you have added a Timeline marker. This option does not affect compression keyframes.

Fields Choose an option if required for your final medium. No Fields is the default and is the equivalent of progressive scan, the correct setting for computer display and motion-picture film. Choose Upper Field First or Lower Field First when exporting video for an interlaced medium such as NTSC, PAL, or SECAM. The option you choose depends on the specific video hardware you use.

Keyframe Every _ Frames Select and type the number of frames after which the codec will create a keyframe when exporting video.

Add Keyframes at Markers Select to create keyframes only where markers exist on the Timeline. For this to work, markers must exist in the time ruler in the Timeline (see Using markers).

Add Keyframes at Edits Select to create a keyframe at the beginning of each clip in the Timeline.

Note: Some codecs do not provide control over keyframes. In such codecs, the above options will not be available.
