    Default Export settings?

    Sarahbirg Community Member

      Is there anyway to set the export settings as a default? Ever since I did the new update it appears as if Premiere no longer remembers the last setting I used to export - as I am often doing 11 - 12 videos per day it is a huge waste of time for me to continually have to select the same export settings over and over.

       

      Thanks in advance for any help

          I have exactly the same problem, I export at least 50 short clips a day and having to select my preset every single time is a big pain and waste of time. If I knew about this, I would never do the update. Would be nice to get an answer from Adobe about this.

           

          Thanks!

            Yep...same issue here. I would also love it if the options "Match Sequence Settings" and "Use Previews" were stored along with user presets.

              You could make a preset.

              This will appear at the top of the list.

                Because the preset is already in the system, just far down on the list, it wont let me save it as a preset. It would be great if I could get rid of the presets that I don't use, or pin the one that I do at the top of the list.

                  It should be in your User Presets. Top of the Presets Window in the stand alone AME

                   

                  If its not there...export it as a Preset and Import it so it appears in User Presets.

                   

                  Name it so it tops the list alphanumerically.

                    Thanks for all your answers, however none of them really help me. I'm not asking about presets, I know very well how to set them up and how to use them in both Premiere and AME.

                     

                    I have 12 presets saved and the number is still growing, I edit rushes into single clips every day and since they are shot on different cameras (DSLR, BMPCC, C300...) I have to use different presets for all of them.

                     

                    At the moment when I hit export the setting always defaults to HD 720p 24 h.264 AAC 48kHz, which is useless to me as among other things all my exports have to have audio sampling dropped to 44100Hz. Before the update after selecting my preset once Premiere defaulted to the selected preset in following sequences, now it always defaults to the useless 720p 24fps setting.

                     

                    It might not seem like a big issue to some, however when you are editing in volume and dealing with loads of formats like me, the ability to rely solely on keyboard shortcuts is massively important as it allows me to smash through an edit with looking at the export window only once.

                     

                    I do realise I could queue my exports into AME and drag and drop my preset to all queued exports, however that's a loss of time for me, as normally I trim and colour correct my first clip, send it to AME and start the export, go back to Premiere and work on the next clip, send to to AME.... This way by the time I get to my final clip 70%-90% of all my exports from that project will be done, instead of waiting for all clips from one project to export.

                     

                    I simply don't understand why there are some many options for storing effect presets and setting default effects but no default export setting or am I missing something? I like the new colours of the interface but functionality should always be more important.

                     

                    Would be great to get an answer from Adobe about this but of course any suggestions and fixes are very welcome. If anyone knows of a way to downgrade to the previous version please tell me as from my perspective this version of premiere due to lack of functionality is not really an upgrade more of a 'bad facelift' looks better on the surface but hides damage on the inside.

                     

                    Thanks!

                      Yeah...I don't know why this is considered "solved". A user preset is completely different than being able to define a default setting.
