Question

How can I choose/change "Bitrate Settings" for a Quicktime MOV file?

I used Adobe Premier 5.5 for many years, and was able to do this with no problem. I recently switched to Adobe Premier CC, and now, I have no ability to Export an MOV, and control the bit rate. "Bitrate Settings" is always dimmed out.

Basically, I am looking to output a MOV file, just as it came out of my camera, with no Codecs, and simply control the file size via the Bitrate Settings. And I seem to have no ability to do this, anymore.

Note, that I publish my movies at custom sizes (generally tall), so I have my own dimensions, and I have the Video Codec as "None" or "Uncompressed" (although selecting any of the other Presets is no help, either).

Hi guys,

If you choose the quick export option in the upper right corner of premiere pro (its an icon that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of the top)

 

From there hit the tab and switch it to High Quality HD.  It will put the bitrate at 20 (which you can't change) but the file will be a lot smaller.

 

Hope this helps.

I'm having the same issue. My client needs an Apple ProRes 422 codec at a minimum bitrate of 150mbps, but I have no option available to edit bitrate at export (either in Premiere Pro CC and AME...).

This is very disappointing.

Could you drop a screen-grab of your Export dialog box on your reply, showing Video tab in the lower section on the right where the options for changing a preset are given? I'd like to see what you are given there ...

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    YA,

    This may have something to do with the current implementation of QuickTime and Premiere Pro. We now have custom QuickTime libraries. I suggest you turn to H.264 where you can tune your bitrate settings a lot easier. Possible?

    Thanks,
    Kevin
