- [Man] This summer.
One man.
One computer.
In the ultimate test of time.
- I don't think there's any chance we're gonna get these
exports done in time.
You gotta just trust in the settings my dude.
- [Man] Arnold Schwarzenegger is
The Exporter.
- (laughing)
I feel like these intros are getting weirder and weirder.
What's going on, guys?
My name is Chris and on this week's video.
Welcome to the premiere
of The Ultimate Export Settings for Crispy 4K Video.
All right so with the latest update to Adobe Premier Pro.
We are seeing drastically better performance
and quicker export times.
The reason why this is happening is because software
companies like Adobe are talking with hardware manufacturers
like NVIDIA so that all their software and hardware
works together effectively.
And the whole goal is so that creators like you and I
have a better user experience.
So if you guys are not running the latest version
of Premier Pro, make sure you guys
are updating that right now.
Now you guys need to make sure that you have the right
settings and hardware
to take advantage of this latest update.
So if you guys are on a PC, like I am,
let's jump into this.
So what you're gonna do is you're gonna press
control alt delete.
Now you're gonna go into your task manager
and you'll go over to the performance tab.
The bottom you'll see your GPU.
Now click on that and see what GPU you're running.
In this case, we are running an NVIDIA 2080 Ti.
Now our PC is custom built. It's a beast.
So as long as you guys have an NVIDIA graphics card,
that's above 1050,
you're gonna see faster and quicker exports
as well as just like general better performance
in Premiere Pro.
Now to get a little bit more technical
as to why this is all happening,
this is due to NVIDIA's NVENC encoder,
which literally stands for NVIDIAENCODER.
What's new about this, is not only does it support
H256 exports, but it also supports GPU accelerated exports.
Prior to this update, the only time that GPU
was actually being used was during the editing process.
So you'd be like working, you'd be editing,
you'd have better performance there,
but when actually came to exporting these files,
it would only rely on the CPU.
So that's where like the big bottleneck would happen.
Now with the latest update it's taking advantage of the GPU,
which is far more powerful,
and that's why we're seeing faster exports.
Okay guys, now that that is all out of the way,
let's finally jump into Adobe Premier Pro
and make sure that we're optimizing
all of these new features.
Now, first thing that you're gonna wanna do is go into file.
Then project settings, then general,
from that drop down menu,
you're gonna wanna go in and select
Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration
in brackets, CUDA, and hit okay.
Now you're gonna wanna go to edit, preferences, media,
and then you're gonna wanna make sure
enable hardware encoding and decoding is checked.
So here's our timeline.
We have three clips on it.
We have a 4K, 30 frames per second clip.
We have a drone clip in here that is 4K,
and we have one 1080P upscale, two 4Ks slow motion clip.
Now all of these clips have been created using
Premier Pro's lumetri color.
And one of the things I wanted to point out
is if you go to the effects panel
and you look up lumetri color,
you'll notice this little icon right here.
That is a GPU accelerated clip,
which essentially means that your GPU is gonna handle this.
Now let's go ahead and set our in and out points
on the timeline.
And now we're gonna hit control M on PC
or file export media.
And this will bring up the export dialogue box.
Now for format, we're gonna choose H264
from the dropdown menu.
Now this is the most popular codec,
although H265 is definitely coming up.
Now you're gonna wanna make sure you have export video,
and export audio checked,
unless you're just exporting like a silent film
and you're making silent films, and that's your thing.
So then I guess you could save yourself one step
by clicking, just video.
But nine times out of ten,
you're probably gonna have both of them checked.
Now we're gonna go down to these tabs here.
So let's start with video.
Now for basic video settings, we can always select
match source because we already have that set up
in our timeline.
All right, you'll see some other options here.
Field order, progressive aspect, square pixels.
Just leave that as is,
unless the square pixels says anything lower than one
rendering at maximum depth is not always necessary,
but when you're working with 10 bit color
or doing a lot of color grading,
then you'll definitely wanna have this selected.
Now the only reason I wouldn't select this,
is if you're in a hurry.
If we hover over it, we can actually see that this option
will slow down your encoding time.
Now move to encoding settings.
This is the key step.
For performance we wanna make sure
that we have hardware encoding enabled.
Now, if you hover over it, you can see that it specifically
tells us that it'll be using NVIDIA's available hardware
to accelerate the encoding process.
Now, if this option is grayed out for you,
you either have some other settings on like VBR 2 pass
that disables hardware encoding.
Or you just don't have a compatible GPU.
For profile you wanna choose high.
And for level you wanna choose 5.2.
Now scroll down to bit rate settings.
This is also super important.
If you drop down, we have three options, CBR, VBR 1 pass
and VBR 2 pass.
Now, like I mentioned earlier very briefly
VBR 2 pass will disable hardware encoding.
So we're gonna eliminate that option for now.
(upbeat music playing)
- Alright.
We're gonna talk about Bitrate.
Before we start.
Hey, Chris question,
you're gonna do the shout out here, right?
You're gonna have my handles
and the Pinterest logo and the Etsy logo.
So they follow me?
Thanks buddy.
All right, Let's talk about Bitrates.
So CDR stands for Constant Bitrate.
So when you set your bitrate,
it's gonna remain consistent throughout the whole export.
The next option is VBR pass 1,
which stands for Variable Bitrate.
And then it's gonna look through that the entire video
and is gonna decide which part of the video
requires higher bitrate.
So let's say you have an area
that you put a lot of graphics into.
That could be a high rate.
And then imagine Bill just talking on camera
with his beautiful mustache, that can be a low bit rate.
Now what you'll see next is VBR 2,
which stands for Variable Bitrate 2 pass.
It goes through once and then it's double checking it's work
and it's going through it again.
And what we'll see is that it takes literally twice as long
for marginally better video quality.
And that's your technical education session.
Make sure to follow me on Etsy.
- Now, obviously you want the highest quality possible
in the least amount of time.
So, we're gonna go with CBR.
Now we wanna set our target bitrate.
YouTube has this handy little guide that helps us determine
the right bitrate for our video settings.
Keep in mind that YouTube is still gonna compress this video
even after you've set it to 35 to 45.
So what we wanna do in this case,
is we're gonna set it to 65 so that after YouTube
compresses that video, it still looks crispy.
Still looks delicious.
It still looks like another analogy,
that's related more to food.
A quick reminder though,
that when you set it to 65 bitrate,
it will increase your file sizes.
But if you guys have the storage for it,
I would recommend that you set it to 65.
So the only thing left to do is decide whether or not
we want to render at maximum quality.
When we hover over this option,
it tells us again that it will increase the encoding time.
The reason why we're choosing this is because we often mix
1080 120 frames per second footage with 4K footage
in our timeline.
Now choosing this option will render the upscale footage
at the best quality possible.
Little hot tip, to save this as a preset,
just come back up to this little icon beside the preset
option and click save preset.
Give it whatever name you'd like, like Chris,
this took way too long to get through.
And I'm glad I actually have this preset now.
I hit Okay.
And you guys are all set to export your video.
(upbeat music playing)
So that's it everybody.
That's how we export our 4K videos.
If you guys actually wanted to save some time

Peace out, hit the bell, all that other jazz.
I'll go, I'll go get bill.
I think he has something he wants to tell you guys.
- I don't wanna forget this moment.
I always get so excited when I'm on Chris's channel.
Smile please.
Bigger, bigger.
I'm gonna put that one up in my living room.
I'm thinking about starting a daily vlog.
That's so boring, everyone always does daily vlog.
You know what?
I'm gonna be the first to do hourly vlogs.

Bill here, to talk about bitrates.
One of my favorite things in the whole world,.
Which rate should we go?
Always with bitrate.
