User Guide
File types available for exporting
The following list describes the file formats available when you export video files. Additional
file formats may be available in Premiere if provided with your video-capture card or by adding
separately available plug-in software.
Note:
Notations such as “Windows only” or “Mac OS only” in this chapter and elsewhere refer
to features that are specific to the Windows or Mac OS versions of Premiere. They are not
intended to indicate whether a given file format can be opened or played on a particular
computer platform.
AIFF audio
(Mac OS only) Use when you want to export the audio track only.
Microsoft AVI
(Windows only) Use the Audio Video Interleaved (AVI) format for videos that
will be played back in Windows, which has built-in support for AVI. Sometimes used for
downloadable Web video.
Animated GIF
Use as an easy way to display video and motion graphics on a Web page.
Animated GIF files cannot include audio.
Filmstrip
Use when you want to
rotoscope
, or paint directly on video frames, using Adobe
Photoshop.
Flc/Fli
(Windows only) Use for an animation or sequence of still images when you want to edit
them in software that supports these formats.
GIF sequence
Use for a sequence of individual still images for editing in software that supports
this format. This is not the same as Animated GIF, which stores all of the frames in a single file.
PICT sequence
(Mac OS only) Use for a sequence of still images for editing in Mac OS software
that supports this format.
QuickTime
Use for video files that must be playable on both Windows and Mac OS. Premiere
always exports a
flattened
file containing all necessary playback information for each platform.
Can be used for downloadable and streaming video, depending on settings and the version of
QuickTime the audience uses.
