Progressive downloadable video

A progressive download movie (also called a hinted movie) can begin playing before it is completely downloaded. The movie player (for example, QuickTime, MediaPlayer, or RealPlayer) begins playback when it calculates that the movie will be fully downloaded by the time playback reaches the end of the video.

The following downloadable video formats are available for export from Premiere: QuickTime Progressive Download, Windows Media, RealVideo, and RealG2 Web Download. You can create progressive download video using any of the Web export plug-ins: Save for Web, Advanced RealMedia Export, or Advanced Windows Media Export (Windows only).
