HELPFUL TIP: Using Adobe Media Encoder Queue is found to have a more detailed export process and shows you more information regarding the status of your video. It also allows you to go back to Premiere and continue to work on another project while Media Encoder exports your file.

 

This tutorial assumes you have an Adobe Premiere Pro project, you can also skip down and start by importing a project or file directly into Media Encoder.

• When you are ready to export, select the Sequence panel so that it has a blue outline

• Select File > Export > Media (⌘M)

​

 

• Click Queue to export using Media Encoder.

• It will now send it to the Export Queue in Media Encoder.

​

 

• Import the DOM Preset Encoder file you downloaded.

• Click on PRESET on the Top Menu Bar, then click IMPORT

• You should see DOM Preset 2017 V3 HD, in the Preset Browser Window under User Presets & Groups

• Simply dragging the preset on the right and dropping it over your file on the left (in the Queue) will prepare your video completely for export.

​

​

 

• Click on the Output File to change the name and location of the file. Do not start your filename with a number or use spaces or special characters in your file name.

​

 

• When you are ready to export, hit the green play button on top of the Queue and you will see the progress bar begin.

​

 

• In the lower left, you will see the Encoding panel become active.

​

 

• After Media Encoder is finished, your file will be ready to use (and ingest) from the save location that you designated.

 

INGESTING

• Once your Video is fully Exported to the Ingest Drive - Take a break.

  • The system will take 10-15 minutes to check your video. If your video has been exported with the correct settings, it will show up in the Dropdown list in Submit a Show page on the Denver Open Media website.

• Troubleshooting Problems

  • If your video doesn’t disappear from Ingest

    • Let staff know immediately.

    • If your video never appears in the Dropdown list, it likely has the wrong settings, or your video may not have a unique file name or is not the right file extension. Most typically, the frame rate or frame size is incompatible with our system. Check your settings and try again - we are happy to help!

Click "Submit New Show" on the left side of the page and fill out the form. Please note the following:
