Hi, If you make a clip and you feel finished, you use export media to make it a watchable .avi file, right? I did this in Premiere CS5, but i was not able to choose where this file was gona end up, and I've searched my documents for the exported .avi but i cant find it, where the HECK does it go?

and why aren't you able to chose for yourself where it's supposed to end up? In the beginning you can chose where you want your captured videos from cameras to end up, only. this is confusing.

    Open the export dialog, and this time ... CLICK ON THE BLUE HIGHLIGHTED FILENAME near the top.

    Where is set in the Export dialog ... and for you to control that for this export, click the filename in the Output line near the top. It's highlighted in blue. That brings up a finder/explorer window, and give at a usable name and tell the computer where to put the file.

    Yeah... There is a default location programmed in... The folder is like Premier>13.0... The folder is named 13.0 inside the install Premier folder... I assumed that was some file directory for gui ref files or something...

    Click on the export file name as Colin described above. That will show you the folder you exported to.

    You can, and should:

    The specific location will obviously vary; it should be remembered from the last export, however, so you can use that to backtrack.

    You were not blind. It´s just not intuitive. And every other app in the world indicates it. It´s not natural to go clicking on every link you see on the screen. Specially with so much info. If it just indicated (Export to, location or what ever...).
