Premiere Elements 14/14.1's export area is called Export & Share, and its layout is broken down to choices many with certain fixed properties
- Quick Export
- Devices (Computer, TV, Movie, Custom)
- Disc (DVD, Blu-ray, AVCHD)
- Online (YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo)
- Audio (Track, Custom)
- Image (Frame, Custom)
- Private Web Album (Adobe Revel related)
- Social Websites (Facebook, Vimeo, and YouTube related)
- Disc (DVD, Blu-ray, AVCHD related)
- Computer
- Mobile Phones and Players
- Adobe Flash Video (11 and 12/12.1 only)
- MPEG
- AVCHD
- XAVC-S
- AVI
- Windows Media
- QuickTime
- Image
- Audio
ISSUE
Essentially 14/14.1's export opportunities are the same as in 11, 12/12.1, and 13/13.1 (exceptions, loss of webDVD and the gain and loss Private Web Albums along the way). The issue becomes where to find the 14/14.1 export counterparts for what was done previously in those earlier versions.
SOLUTION
Use of the "Custom" opportunities in 14/14.1's Export & Share can be used to create custom export presets when an existing Adobe export contains settings that cannot be customized by the user or when an export of choice does not exist anywhere else in Export & Share.
EXAMPLES OF 14/14.1's CUSTOM OPPORTUNITIES
- Devices (Computer, TV, Mobile, Custom)
- Audio (Track, Custom)
- Image (Frame, Custom)
Devices (Computer, TV, Mobile, Custom)
Why Custom instead of Computer, TV, or Mobile? Answer for this AVI example is that there is no place else to set up for AVI export except in this choice.
So, if the export is to be NTSC DV.AVI Widescreen file to the computer hard drive
Premiere Elements 13/13.1
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
Presets available - DV NTSC Standard, DV NTSC Widescreen, DV PAL Standard, and DV PAL Widescreen.
Preset selected = DV NTSC Widescreen and hit Save button after naming the export and designating the Save In location for it.
Premiere Element 14/14.1
Export & Share
Devices
Custom
and Custom's advanced settings.
In the advanced settings' Export Setting dialog
Video Codec = DV NTSC selected from the choices including DV PAL).
and
Aspect = D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2121) selected from choices including D1/DV NTSC (0.9091), D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2121), D1/DV PAL (1.0940); D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.4587)
Name the preset, onward to hit Save button after naming the export and designating the Save In location for it. The name of the preset and its settings remain in Export & Share/Devices/Custom for use in the current and future project.
Example 2
Audio (Track, Custom)
Why Custom instead of just Track? Answer for this WAV example is that the Custom choice gives opportunities for more options for Audio Codec, Sample Rate, Channels, Sample Size, and even an option "Export each channel as a separate file".
If Premiere Elements 14/14.1 Export & Share Audio/Track/ and Format WAV are selected, only choices and details before export are the following (there are no settings in between Low and Mid or Mid and High)
- Low = 32000 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit
- Mid = 44100 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit
- High = 48000 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit
- Audio compression = PCM
- Low setting, bitrate used = 1024 kbps (kilobits per second)
- Mid setting, bitrate used = 1411.2 kbps
- High setting, bitrate used = 1536 kbps and 48000 Hz
- and the file size.
- Audio compression = Uncompressed; IMA AD PCM; CCITT A-Law; CCITT u-Law; GSM 6.10; Microsoft ADPCM.
- Sample Rate (in Hz) = 8000; 11025; 16000; 22050; 32000; 44100; 48000; 88200; 96000.
- Channels = Mono; Stereo; 5.1.
- Sample Size (in bit) = 8; 16; 24;32; 32; and 32 bit float.
If Premiere Elements 13/13.1, the counterpart for the 14/14.1 WAV described above would be
Publish+Share/Computer/Audio with Presets = Windows Waveform. The default would be "48000 Hz, Stereo, 16 bit". Customization of the default is done under the Advanced Tab/Audio Tab of the preset. There options include
- Audio compression = Uncompressed; IMA AD PCM; CCITT A-Law; CCITT u-Law; GSM 6.10; Microsoft ADPCM
- Sample Rate (in Hz) = 8000; 11025; 16000; 22050; 32000; 44100; 48000; 88200; 96000.
- Channels = only Mono and Stereo, no 5.1.
- Sample Size (in bit) = 8; 16; 24;32; 32; and 32 bit float.
- No "Export each channel as a separate file" as offered in 14 and no place to adjust audio bitrate.
Image (Frame, Custom)
Why Custom instead of just Frame? Answer for this 200 x 200 pixels JPEG freeze frame example is that the Custom choice gives opportunities for more options for Format, Preset (frame sizes + varied Quality setting), video frame size width and height in pixels, Aspect, and even an option "Export As Sequence" when applicable.
The single freeze frame workflow starts with the Timeline Indicator placed on Timeline video frame that is to be exported.
If Premiere Elements 14/14.1 Export & Share Image/Frame/ and Format JPEG are selected, only choices and details before export of that frame are frame size (1920 x 1080, 1440 x 1080, 1280 x 720, or 720 x 480), format (JPEG), and Quality = Low, mid point, High which represents a relative file size for the export.
If Image/Custom/ and Format JPEG are selected, a wider choice exists for Format, Preset (frame sizes + varied Quality setting), and Aspect.
Note: if it is wanted to export every frame of a video clip as a JPEG file, here is found the option "Export As Sequence" to do that.
If Premiere Elements 13/13.1, the counterpart for 14/14.1 described above would be
Publish+Share/Computer/Image with Presets = JPEG - NTSC SD and then customization of that preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset. In 13/13.1, the encoding Format = only JPEG.
COMMENTARY
There are many more comparisons that can be made between 13/13.1* Publish+Share and 14/14.1* Export & Share, but space would not permit. This blog post has grown very large already with just 3 selected examples.
It is hoped that the 3 examples given will act as an introduction to the topic and stimulate interest for personal exploration and experimentation with these export settings.
