Sharing to the web

Adobe Premiere Elements enables you to export your movie in formats suitable for delivery through the Internet. Using the Share view of the Tasks panel, you can upload your video directly to the web. Adobe Premiere Elements provides a preset for Adobe Flash Video (.flv) format, which is commonly used to embed video into web pages and web applications.

The Flash Video For Web preset covers the requirements of most servers and the bandwidth and player options available to most viewers. Using the provided preset is the quickest way to export your movie. You can also customize the settings to match a specific situation. Remember, however, to make sure that the data rate of your movie is appropriate for the intended playback medium.
