Exporting Media in Adobe Premiere for Web (720p) for Youtube/Vimeo/Google Drive

Step 1) In Premiere, with your finished project open, Navigate to File -> Export -> Media:
premiere - file export media
Step 2) In the window which opens do the following:

  • For Format, Choose H.264.
  • For Preset, choose Vimeo HD 720p. Note that if you want higher resolution 1080p is also acceptable, but will take longer to upload and require more space on some services such as Vimeo.
  • Under Output Name, click on the file name which will prompt you to choose a file name and saving location.
