Set export presets

Set export presets in Adobe Premiere Pro — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Create and save a reusable export preset for social deliverables: 1080x1080, H.264, VBR 2-pass, target bitrate 6 Mbps, max 10 Mbps, AAC 256 kbps, normalize audio to -2 dB, name the preset Social_1080_SQR_6mbps, and add a short description 'Instagram feed standard' so editors can apply it quickly.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I share these presets with the team, make them approval-ready: show the key differences from our broadcast presets, surface expected file size and typical upload time, include the exact audio normalization and a note on when not to use this preset (for example, if the master needs 24-bit audio). Flag settings that could cause client complaints.

I saved a preset but it exports at the wrong resolution

I just saved an export preset labeled 4K_Delivery but the exports are coming out at 1920x1080. The client, Marco, expects true 4K masters by Friday. I don’t know whether I mis-specified the sequence settings or the preset captured source scaling. What’s the likely cause and what exact steps do I take to fix the preset and re-export correctly without losing metadata or custom naming conventions?

Become — change the pattern

I keep recreating the same export presets across projects and machines

Every project I end up rebuilding similar export presets for different channels and I waste time troubleshooting mismatched settings on other editors’ machines. Which habits and a small shared preset library structure will stop duplication, ensure everyone uses the right preset, and keep versioning and descriptions accurate?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
