Hey, my name is Matt Johnson.
Today, I'm going to be showing you how to easily edit and export high
quality videos for YouTube shorts in Adobe Premiere Pro.
To save you time though,
if you don't want to watch me ramble through this whole video,
you can click the link right down in the description to download my YouTube
shorts export presets completely for free and start exporting immediately.
Also down below you will find a link to this video
sponsor music bed, but more on them in a bit.
Alternatively, if you want to see the entire exporting process.
Keep watching.
Welcome to Adobe Premiere Pro.
Now I've already imported some footage from a trip
to New York City that I filmed recently and the first thing you're going to notice
is that this is a horizontal 16 by nine video.
But wait, Matt, YouTube shorts are vertical.
Yes, we need to make a new sequence and modify
this video to fit the vertical YouTube shorts format to make
a new sequence with the project panel highlighted in blue.
Down here, you can either press control in on PC or command in on Mac,
or you can go up here to file new sequence.
And that's going to open up the new sequence dialog box here.
You're going to want to click Digital SLR 1080 P DSLR,
1080 P 24 and go up here to settings for your time base.
By default, the vast majority of cameras are filming at 23.976 frames per second.
If you want to export your video at a different frame rate, say 30 FP or 60 FP.
You can choose that here, but for most people
you're going to want to leave it at 23.976.
Now, where we need to make a change, though, is under frame size.
So instead of this being 1920, by 1080, we need to make this 1080.
By 1920, yeah, we're flipping things around here, baby.
All of the rest.
These settings are good by default.
Go down here to save preset and let's call this YouTube
short dash who is meant to go press.
Okay.
And then all you have to do is go down here to the bottom under custom,
and you will find the YouTube shorts preset.
Now, let's call this sequence YouTube shorts.
Hey, gov, just for demo, who cares?
Press. Okay. And that's going to make a new sequence.
We can then select this video footage that I filmed, drag it over here
to the timeline, make sure you click, keep existing settings forever.
You do this.
And wait a second, it's all squished in the middle.
Dang it, we got to resize this thing so it fits properly.
So to resize your video clip, you're going to go up here to the effect controls
and then under scale you can scale this clip up and I find four YouTube
shorts, about 316 scaling for a 4K horizontal video clip.
Looks good.
Then you can use the position tool here to drag right and left to position
your video clip. So it looks good in this case.
So under right here in the middle, that looks great.
And lastly, this video clip is too long.
Keep in mind that YouTube shorts
are a maximum of 60 seconds right now at the time of making this video.
So let's drag this back down here. So it's shorter.
And now we've got our video properly sized and we're ready to export it
to export your video with this timeline selected and highlighted in blue,
you can either press control M on PC command, M on Mac,
or go up here to file export media.
Welcome to the Export Settings page.
Now for file name, I'm going to leave this title YouTube short,
but you can change this to title your video.
Whatever you want for location is very important
because you need to click on this and select
where you want your video file to be saved with that location selected Click Save
and then for format, you're gonna want to like 8.264
and then your preset is going to be set to whatever the last preset that you use
for Premiere Pro is.
But in your case, we're going to want to customize this,
so leave it to whatever it's set to here and go down here to the video dropdown
and then here under basic video settings Click Match Source.
And that is going to automatically resize things
to these sequence settings that we made.
So now suddenly your frame size should say custom 1080 by 1920.
If it doesn't, you can click this
checkbox, click this dropdown here and resize things properly.
Click that checkbox again.
Frame Rate 23.976 Field Order Progressive Aspect Square.
That looks great. We need to click more though.
Oh yeah.
There's more settings hidden down here we ain't done yet.
Make sure that render maximum depth and use maximum render
quality check because we want the maximum quality.
Of course we do.
And then here for performance under encoding settings,
make sure this is set to hardware encoding if you can,
which is going to help your computer render it out faster.
If you have to choose software encoding, that's okay too.
All of these settings here are good.
Main 4.1 Rick 709 100
And then we're going to scroll down here
to bitrate settings and this is where things are really important by default.
Premiere is probably going to be set to VB R2 to pass,
but you're going to want set this to see CBR,
which stands for Constant Bitrate, which means that basically you're
going to be telling for me to throw as much video data as you can
at this footage, which is going to help increase the quality,
especially once YouTube compresses it for your target bitrate.
You're going to want to set this to 40 megabits per second,
and I know this is very high, but keep in mind
that YouTube is going to process this video and compress it smaller
and you want a high bitrate so you don't have compression artifacts.
Then down here, let's click the audio dropdown menu for audio.
Choose a C, a C for the audio codec, 48,000 hertz channel stereo.
And then for bitrates,
you're going to want to click down here and bring it all down to 512
because we can do 512 now. Why not have higher audio quality?
It's not going make the file size much bigger. Go for it.
Lastly, let's save these settings as a presets.
You don't have to re save them again and again.
So up here and under preset click these three dots here
and then click save preset and let's call this YouTube shorts
1080 x 1920 23.976 amps
comma 49 beeps CBR Dash Who is Matt?
This way you can see all of your settings at a glance and then press okay.
And now any time you want to export using these settings,
you can simply click the dropdown here and select that preset.
Lastly, all you need to do is go down here in the bottom right and click export.
If you want to export in Premiere Pro or you can click send a media encoder
if you want to export from Media Encoder,
which will enable you to be able to continue
editing in the background and media encoder.
All you have to do is go over here and click the green play button,
which will start your video rendering, and then once your video is rendered,
you need to upload it.
And you can use a site like Dropbox, which you can sign up for down below
or use airdrop.
If you're on a mac, then use your phone and the Dropbox
app or airdrop to save the video to your phone.
Open the YouTube app and then upload your short there and hit post.
With that, you now know how to upload high quality
videos to YouTube shorts using Adobe Premiere Pro.
If you have a download the preset
for exporting to YouTube shorts, it's still inc down below in the description.
Also link down below is a link to this video sponsor music.
Bad music is my favorite place to find music for my projects
and with over a thousand artists and over 40,000
songs, I can always find the right one.
They've got bands like Tall Heights with the most incredible folk
sound down in the place and the
heartfelt songs from singer songwriters
like Mackenzie Lockhart's on his back
and the most incredible soul music from artists like Jack Isaac.
But let's stop.
Plus, music, bed search tools make it easy to find music with filters lets
you search by BPM and key, not to mention playlists from your favorite filmmakers.
I personally love the funky and folk pop playlists
and spend a pretty good amount of time in there.
What I'm looking for inspiration.
My secret weapon, though, is music beds, complimentary song search service,
where they will help you find the exact song that you need for your video.
This can help you save so much time, so take your projects and films
to the next level.
