  2. Objectives • Publish to a movie file for distribution on the Web or a CD. • Publish to a DVD or VCD. • Publish to a digital videotape. • Publish to an analog videotape. • Publish a single frame of your video as a still image. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  3. Publish to a Movie File • To publish a movie for use on a computer, you must export it to a video format. • AVI and QuickTime are two popular video formats. • Both work on several platforms. • MPEG and RealMedia are also commonly used formats. • MPEG is used primarily with DVD and other video discs. • RealMedia is commonly used for streaming video. • There are many compression techniques (codecs) to choose from. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  4. Export for Download or Streaming • Exporting a movie involves • Rendering the contents of the timeline. • Compressing the rendered movie. • Writing it to a file. • Movies can be exported to be downloaded before being played. • Movies can be exported to be “streamed.” • Video-editing programs cannot usually produce streaming video. • You must export the movie and then use a plug-in or special program to create a streaming version. • Movies can also be exported to CD-ROM for distribution. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  5. Export a Movie from Adobe Premiere Exporting a file creates a movie that can be played in an external player. Click the File menu, then Export Timeline, then Movie to open the Export Movie dialog box. Click the Settings button to open the dialog box shown here. This figure shows the General pane. Select export format here. You can choose to export audio and video, or not. Click Next to set Video settings. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

Click the Configure button to set custom codec settings. Click Next to set Audio settings. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  7. Set Audio Settings This pane allows you to set various audio settings. Ignore this pane for a video that does not contain any audio. Click the Next button to advance to the Keyframe and Rendering pane. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  8. Set Keyframe and Rendering Settings This pane allows you to set various rendering settings, including the option to include or exclude plus video or audio effects that you may have applied. You can make changes and restore the default settings on any pane by clicking the Load button. Click the Next button to advance to the Special Processing pane. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  10. Play Your Movie in a Video Player Once your movie has been exported, you can play it using a video player that supports your exported format. This figure shows the QuickTime player. You can also use Windows Media Player or possibly RealPlayer to view your exported movie. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  11. Publish to a DVD or a VCD • You can publish your movie to a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or a VCD (Video CD) for easy distribution. • DVD offers high quality and large storage capacity (5.2 GB). • DVD is designed to work with televisions and has the same frame rate as a TV. • VCD uses a standard CD which has less capacity, smaller frame sizes, and less quality than a DVD. • For either format, you must export the movie using the MPEG codec and then use a program designed to create a DVD or VCD format. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  12. The Adobe MPEG Encoder In Premiere, click the File menu, then Export Timeline, and then Adobe MPEG Encoder to open the dialog box shown here. Select your file format. Select your video standard. Enter the output file name and click the Browse button to select a drive and folder. Click the Export button to begin the export process. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  13. Publish to a Digital Videotape • You can publish your movie to a DV tape using a digital video camera or a DV tape deck. • Connect the camera or tape deck to the computer and position the tape where the recording should begin. • Open the Playback Settings dialog box and select Firewire as the Output Device. • Select the compression routine and then OK to close the dialog box. • Press the REC button on your camera or tape deck and start the movie on your computer to begin the export to the camera or tape deck.

  15. Publish to an Analog Video Tape • You can publish your movie to a VCR if you are able to connect the VCR to the computer. • You need an S-video connector and a capture card that converts digital-to-analog and vice versa. • Once connected, start the VCR in recording mode and start the movie on the computer. • When the movie ends, stop the VCR. • Rewind and play your movie on your TV. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  16. Publish a Single Frame as a Still Image • You can publish any frame in the movie as a static or still image. • To publish a frame as an image: • Position the edit line in the timeline for the frame to be published. • Click the File menu, then Export Timeline, then Frame. • Click the Settings button in the Export Still Frame dialog box. • Select the export file type and click OK. • Enter a file name and location and click Save.

  19. Summary • Projects used for video-editing programs cannot be used to distribute your video to others. • Publishing your video requires that you export it in some fashion: as a single file (distributed by downloading, streaming, or CD-ROM), on a DVD or other type of video disc, on digital video tape (DV), on analog video tape (VHS), or as one or more still images. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  20. Summary (continued) • The most common file formats for distributing video are AVI and QuickTime. These formats allow you to use one of many codecs for com-pression and decompression. You can use either format for distributing your file by downloading or on CD-ROM. • Streaming video requires a special format. Although most video-editing programs will not produce streaming video directly, you can usually use a plug-in or a separate program to convert the video file to a streaming format. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  21. Summary (continued) • You can distribute your video on a disc such as a DVD, VCD, or SVCD. Video on these discs is compressed using the MPEG video standard. Not only can these discs be used on computers, but DVD players enable you to watch the video on a television set. Most DVD players can play VCDs as well. • You can distribute your video by writing it back out to a digital camcorder and a DV tape. You can then use the digital camcorder to play this tape on your television or to make copies of it on analog (VHS) tapes. Lesson 6 – Publishing Video

  22. Summary (continued) • If your computer can display its screen on a television directly, you can use a VCR to record your video onto tape by playing the video on your computer screen and out to a television simultaneously. • You can export individual frames of your movie as still image files for use in posters, brochures, or flyers.
