How to share video
You can share movies, stills, and audio in a variety of file types to the web, mobile devices, videotape, Video CDs,
and Super Video CDs. You can also copy and save projects for editing and storage.
The Share workspace in the Tasks panel (Figure 1) contains everything you need to save and share your finished
project. You can save your project for viewing on the web, a mobile phone, a personal computer, DVD, Blu-ray
Disc, and more.
You can start a new share by clicking any of the share options: web DVD, Disc, Online, Personal Computer, Mobile
Phones And Players, or Tape. Each of these options opens a view in the Tasks panel that provides specific options
and settings for sharing to the respective media types.
Figure 1 Disc options in the Share workspace
web DVD: Build web DVD for viewing online or on a computer.
Disc: Burn DVD and Blu-ray discs. To use this option, you must have a compatible disc burner installed.
Online: Upload content to YouTube, Podbean (United States only), Photoshop.com (United States only), or
your personal website. For online services, content is automatically formatted to the site’s requirements. For
your personal website, you use FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
Computer: Create video to be viewed by others on their computers. You can select from a wide range of
formats, including Adobe Flash Video, MPEG-2, Windows Media File, QuickTime video, or AVI. The format
you choose depends on such factors as the platform (Windows Media Files, for example, cannot be played in
Mac OS without a plug-in), quality level (AVI or MPEG-2 are the highest quality), and file size (Adobe Flash
Video, QuickTime, and Windows Media Format all provide relatively small file sizes).
Mobile Phones And Players: Export video for viewing on an iPod, Zune, Smart Phone, PSP, or other mobile
device. Premiere Elements automatically chooses settings for selected devices, while allowing you to adjust
other settings, such as audio and video quality.
Tape: Record video to DV or HDV tape, using a camcorder or similar device connected to your computer. This
is a good option for storing high-quality video you want to work with later but that takes up too much room on
your computer.
Note: The Share workspace simplifies sharing and exporting by providing presets of the most commonly used
formats and settings. If you want to specify unique settings for any format, you can click Advanced options and
make changes. You can also use the export commands in the File menu, if desired.
