When you export your project to Premiere, you will notice that you have to wait for the export process to complete before you can work in Premiere again.
Adobe Media Encoder can save you a lot of time as it acts as a background video exporter, allowing you to continue using Premiere while your project is being exported.
Below, we’ll show you how to use Adobe Media Encoder to speed up video rendering.
How To Export a Premiere Project in Adobe Media Encoder
When you’re ready to export the project you’ve edited in Premiere, follow these steps to use Media Encoder:
In Premiere, choose File> Export> Media.
In the next window, select the optimal settings for exporting your project.
Instead of clicking Export at the bottom, select Queue.
Premiere Pro will now launch Adobe Media Encoder. In the Queue panel, you will see the project you want to export. It will tell you what format the video is in, the selected preset, as well as the export destination. Make sure the project status is Ready.
Click the green Start Queue button in the upper right corner to display your project. When finished, you will see a check mark next to the project.
Another great benefit of exporting with Media Encoder is that you can quickly render videos in multiple settings. To do this, simply follow steps 1–3 again for each individual project export setting. Then you can click Start Queue and Media Encoder will export each one.
Changing Output Settings in Adobe Media Encoder
You may decide to change the presets or format for your project before rendering the video. This is effortless in Media Encoder and there are several ways to do it.
You will see a small arrow next to the name of a format or preset in your project. Click on it to see a drop-down list of all available formats or presets. Select one of these to output your project with this setting.
In the preset browser pane, you can browse or search for various presets. Once you find the one you want to use, drag it to your project in the Queues and it will change the settings.
These methods are an easy way to change multiple output settings at the same time, instead of viewing them one at a time in Premiere.
Adobe Media Encoder Preferences
There are several changes you can make to the Adobe Media Encoder preferences to improve the Adobe Premiere Pro experience.
To access these settings, choose Edit> Preferences. A new window will appear.
In the General section, you will see some of the queue options. A vital parameter that can speed up the export process is to select the Automatic Start Queue check box when idle for: and choose how long you want the program to wait before it starts the queue.
You can also choose how long the rendering process takes by checking the box next to Show elapsed encoding time in queue. This can give you a good idea of ​​how long other similar projects might take.
The program can also play a sound signal after the video has been rendered. Check “Play audio when encoding finished” to enable this. This is a good idea if you expect your project to take a long time, as is often the case with longer projects or projects with a lot of additional effects.
There are a couple of things in the Output section that you might want to know about.
First, you have the option to stop rendering if the program detects missing items. This can help prevent your final product from being mis-exited and alert you to those missing items.
Secondly, here you can change the destination of the output file. If you ever need to export something to a specific location on your computer, you can do it right here by unchecking this box and choosing Browse.
