This time, on choosing export settings.<\/p>\n<p>This video takes a practical approach as I go step by step through the interface of Adobe Media Encoder, which both Premiere Pro and After Effects use. I explain what each of those options and sliders and checkboxes means, and more importantly I give some advice about how and when to use them.<\/p>\n<p>This tutorial follows on from my last tutorial, Understanding Codecs. In that video, I explain the principles that codecs use to compress data efficiently &#8211; at least, I gave a good summary, since giving all the details would take weeks! They really are quite complex. You don&#8217;t have to have seen my first tutorial first, but it will definitely help!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"338\" data-src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/115534648\" width=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of what I cover:<\/p>\n<p>First, I give a brief run-down of the different presets, the interface, and how to use it effectively.
