How To Export 4K Video In Premiere Pro CC 2022 For YouTube, Facebook, & Vimeo

[@whoismatt]

Hey you can save a ton of time by downloading my 4K export preset for free: get.whoismatt.com/4kexport Also, this video was colored with my color presets! Get them here: whoismatt.com/luts

[@el0sopardo]

What are your thoughts on using a different screen size for mobile content? I remember exporting in 1920x960 for a while

[@bobbirahmirres3638]

There might be an obvious answer for this but should I scale up my projects 1080p sequence settings to be 4k before exporting? In the media encoder there appears to be a black box around my project now.

[@yazr1712]

@@bobbirahmirres3638 Same... I can't seem to find an answer to this at all. Very frustrating.

[@Delarosafinancial]

Matt, I thought Facebook won't upload 4K or it just lowers the quality automatically.

[@flash2k]

I just want to say a massive thank you. I was so grateful when I found your first videos. Was super worried when I saw the change in export screen. Can't tell you how grateful I am. I've no clue, and your export settings, explanations were crucial for my video editing, so thank you!!

[@phucmapvlog]

Difficult to count how many useful tips I’ve seen on this channel 👍🏻

[@msonufriychuk]

This couldn't come at a better time. was searching KZbin including your channel for export settings just today

[@AnthonysOutdoors]

I only shoot in 1080 but I did these settings and the image quality is significantly better. Yes the file is bigger and the rendering time was significantly longer, but the results are worth it. Thanks Matt for another great video!

[@sambrad94]

When you say significantly longer I’m rendering a 5 second 4K clip and it’s taking over 10 mins, I’m using a MacBook Pro M1. With normal 4K rendering it takes seconds but with Matt’s setting well over 10 mins. Is this what you are experiencing?

[@baileyannoriginal]

@@sambrad94 I similar computer and my export rate is rather quick usually but my export time is currently saying 27 hours for a 17 minute video - is this normal?

[@benmubbala]

@@baileyannoriginal yeah my video was like 2.5 minutes and it was 2 hrs

[@guswalters]

@@baileyannoriginal a 3 minute video clip I just exported, that would normally take 10 minutes, took an hour. Getting same results, so yes, it looks like export times are extended by quite a bit!

[@UrgetoRun]

My export time is over 50 hours - I’m running a MacBook Pro M1. Video is 25 minutes long. These export settings don’t seem feasible to me. Any suggestions?

[@MateuszProductions]

Dude, I must have done close to 50 exports/youtube uploads testing different settings because I was getting a very grainy/pixelated 1080 video. Exporting in 4k fixed almost everything. Thank you!

[@RedSquirrelStudios]

These settings solved something very unexpected. With KZbin 4K preset, I was getting this error on my huge 4k videos 'File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of filname.mp4. Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled' (exporting to m.2 with 1.5TB free space) Now, with these new setting, it exported withot an error and the quality is better too😃 Now lets see what YT thinks about h265🤓 Thank you so much, Matt and keep up the good work👍

[@ChristoCY]

Dang.. Now I need to upgrade my vimeo subscription.. 11GB for a 3 min highlight video when it was previously just 2GB..Everything is a trade off.. Great work as usual Mr Beardo! 😁

[@jimmyboston1977]

You are the G.OA.T Matt!!! I was nervous about saving the wedding video I put together. The instructions you gave was like a “Hot knife through Butter!” LOL! Thanks BRO!

[@EarPlugTV]

Everyone should have to watch this video before doing anything with editing software. You make it easy to understand and demonstrate your talent for video making as well.

[@anigroeg]

for the last 24h I've literally watched so many of your videos! Honestly - every question I had about editing, exporting etc, you answered. Super helpful! Thanks a lot!!

[@bearsmash2539]

I truly cannot thank you enough, I've been attempting on and off for over 3 years to start vlogging. I even purchased new camera and premier pro software and still my video quality was horrendous... I followed you setting to the letter only adjusting the bit rate as you recommended to compensate for the 360 camera and finally it's worked, I have now posted my first ever 4k rendered and KZbin quality video . You sir are a legend.... Kind regards Steve

[@CosasdelJardin]

First time watching your content! Enjoyed! Im going to try this settings. Thank you

[@MyIndieSport]

Matt, I've now watched several of your videos. The clarity, generosity, and accessibility with which you teach is superb and much appreciated. You are making a difference. Thank you. from a new subscriber.

[@mlegrand]

Time to update this video Matt. (BTW, love your channel. Long time subscriber)

[@Niklas_Normann]

This is the best pr video i have seen. thank you so much! I immediately liked and subscribed!

[@grahnvisuals]

Thanks for the updated version of this export settings 😍 Will you do a updated version of Instagram export settings as well? If there are any. I hate the Instagram compression 😅

[@whoismatt]

Planning on it!

[@HappiiLotus]

[@mohammudnoor4071]

Matt...as always....you made this whole tutorial very simple and useful. Thanks a bunch!

[@whatuuthink]

I am a new youtuber and this video helped me to clear by doubts. I was taking videos in 4k and was not able to see that much clarity in my uploaded videos. But now I realized the mistakes..I'll be rendering my next video as per your guidance. Thank you & Best wishes for your works.

[@IchinShek]

Whoa. This is so wild. I just started a project and was wondering what the best exporting settings were to not get shafted by KZbin's compression lol

[@EricMakingWaves]

You're the freakin' best Matt. I had been waiting for a HEVC guide. Yours have always been the best in the past and this video is no exception.

[@Sofarmsogoodtx]

Thank you Matt! Right wehen I updated my Premiere, went straight to your channel to see if you had an updated export setting and you did! Awesome stuff Matt!

[@i2LMedia]

The timing on this video! I just finished an edit on my new M1 Max ( A7s 4K 120 fps footage) so I didn’t have my old 4K settings saved, which were on my old PC. Was planning on looking for the older version of this video today!

[@ewamos_com]

Love it! Thank you AGAIN! Somehow I feel like you're the only guy on KZbin I can trust with these settings :D

[@edh3268]

Great video, but you should definitely cover the audio section as well. Audio is often one of the most overlooked areas of filmmaking, and especially for music videos and sound engineers, they want to have good quality audio to work with. Could you please cover the best audio settings for this h.265 codec?

[@malawidouglas6464]

Interested in your comment thanks. Perhaps you know the answer to my question that I wrote above to Matt. This was it: 'Hi Matt. Almost complete beginner to video editing here. Thank you for your help in this. I followed it step by step yesterday, so I think I have the exact same settings. But once my file was exported I received a 'You need a new codec to play this item' in Media Player. I had previously exported from Premiere Pro and the Mp4 file did play no problem in Media Player. I have Windows 11 Pro. Is it something to do with the audio file I added via 'Essential Sound'? I did sign up to the Adobe license for audio.'

[@BrandonBurk]

Thanks Matt. Very informative and easy to follow. You always teach me alot!

[@HenPapirman]

There's one problem with this method, when you choose CBR, the Encoding changes to Software Encoding from Hardware Encoding. Then what do you choose for the VBR 1 Pass?

[@TenHundred]

Thanks so much for updating this!

[@DrDJ]

How abt vertical video for TikTok etc.?! Same as your last video or? 🤔 Great vid as always BTW!

[@THSimagery]

These videos are always life savers Matt! Thanks so much you're the best

[@charlessaco4495]

Hi Matt. I have two questions: Why to worry about H.265 when KZbin recommends H.264 and why to use 120 Mpbs in a 60 fps footage when KZbin max video rate is 68 Mbps for SDR uploads. Thank you.

[@EverythingIconic]

Would love an answer to this question

[@Ultrarmx]

He hasn’t responded to my questions either. Like my computer doesn’t support hardware encoding so his settings don’t work. That’s why I unfollowed him.

[@AmbientWanderer]

i think once you uplaod these vidoes to youtube youre gonna lose a ton of qiuality, so i just think its better to stick with the Youtbe recommendations

[@CourseBuildersAcademy]

Thanks for that Matt! Great video as always.

[@fishingthepnwwithdave7833]

My 4 min video was 30mins plus or minus a few minutes versus 7 hours. Might be my clunky computer, but I'm ok with H264. BUT... I really do appreciate that you came out with the best settings possible for the latest release and will still continue to follow. Cheers.

You're A M A Z I N G! Been following you for so long. TY MATE

[@Angle45Media]

Will the colors export properly or do you recommend using the lut effect while exporting to avoid the colors being washed out?

Hi Matt, thanks for all your tips, it is great getting back to video with help!! Do you change anything to these export settings for clients? Thanks!!

[@constantnothing]

hey matt, thanks for going through this. HOWEVER, i have 2 MAJOR PROBLEMS with this process and result. 1) your output settings produce a BLACK BAR left and right of the image. i can see the exact same problem i had in your video above. not a nice look for youtube. if you are going for highest VISUAL QUALITY, i would say this is a NEGATIVE 2) my 30 sec vid took above 45 MINUTES to OUTPUT. i can endure that for a 30 sec clip however not for a 30-60 min OUTPUT. maybe i am doing something wrong. can you suggest a more efficient process with similar quality? thanks

[@santosenmoto]

Gonna test this with my next motovlog! If results are good youll have my sub and loyalty!

[@findthePerfectPlace]

Hoping someone might be able to help, I have exported as per the tutorial - my encoding time started at 36mins but has now jumped to 20 hours! Only 1% complete at ~25 mins in. Have I done something wrong or is this expected? I have never seen this exporting time length before 🙈

[@ImsomniackOfficiel]

Same for me , i lets run my pc all the night and the day at job , im at 70% , the pourcentage dont lag but its very long ...

I believe I’m here for the same reason as everyone else. Lol I was exporting videos at H.264 in less than five minutes. Now with method over an hour. Has anyone figured where in his settings is causing the significant render times?

[@thecinegoguestudios]

You mention using these 4k export settings even if my project isn't 4k, but then aren't we just stretching out the image with resolution loss?

[@OrtegaTheOmega]

Thank you so much. I kept getting rendering errors because I was exporting 4K footage as 1080 😭😭. Hopefully this fixes my issue

[@jlogbusiness]

GOod information. Unfortunately if you have a long video (1 hour or longer), youtube will choke when trying to render at the higher resolutions.

[@rydellproductions]

Hey Matt! Absolutely worship the content! Just curious if this has DRASTICALLY lengthened your export times? I have the new M1 Pro using hardware encoding but it seems switching from your old 4k export settings to this new one has made my export 12X slower.

[@whoismatt]

Hey! I would make sure that you were using the latest version of Premier, I believe they added faster exporting in the update.

[@Steve-Owens]

Me Too Matt. New M1 Pro, 10 minute export now takes Hours? and if I try to stop the render ME crashes? Not sure whats going on. Both ME and PP fully updated. 🤔

Hi Matt, thank you so much for this tutorial. It's amazing when finding someone explaining complicated things in simple ways. I have a question. I followed step by step and done all what you said to do, but when I'm at "Encoding Settings" I cannot select "Hardware Encoding". When I do select that one, Premiere Pro tells me: "Your system hardware does not support hardware acceleration for the current settings"... 😕 What should I do in this situation?? I have the newest MacBook Pro Apple built right now, so I'm definitely sure my compute can handle it. I would love to hear from you. Thank you in advance! Daniela

Same here, awesome video and really appreciate it, but both my iMac and my Mac Pro are giving me the same issue when I try and use H.265.

[@Waves_of_Sounds]

@@GuthrieBoys I have the same issue with h265. Actually I think that’s the problem to begin with. For me by selecting another preset wit h264 instead h265, solved my problem. Now I can select Hardware Encoding as well.

[@ecubuntu]

You Are The Best Matt💪🏻, Thank you for the tip

[@belogiannis]

very useful and complete analysis. Sad thing is that my i9 Macbook pro 2019 needed 4 hours to export a 4 mins video shot in 4K slog3, with these settings, so i think i'll stick to the default preset.

[@thefamousisaacs]

I really like how you teach stuff.

[@mrMankx]

Great info right here! Thank you!

[@ASVideo]

Hi Max, great as always! But KZbin is still advising to use H.264 for export. So why are you choosing H.265 for this kind of export?

[@whoismatt]

KZbin now accepts h.265 and it results in a higher quality upload.

[@ASVideo]

@@whoismatt Good to know!

[@jodyglover2780]

[@ryiu7144]

Hey Matt! Is there a way to remove side black bars without scaling to fit? or is this a setting I need to fix on my camera first?

[@yazr1712]

Asking the same thing actually... it's not a camera issue... the dimension aren't relative to 1920x1080 I think...

[@yazr1712]

I scoured further and apparently this change happens when you change the 'Tier' setting to high.

[@godricnicodemus]

Thanks for this!! Works wonders!

[@TheBroadcastEngineer]

You can also export a ProRes file too. It's massive, but KZbin will import it and convert it for you.
