Where are the Premier Pro custom export presets stored?   These are the files created when you create/modify an export setting and save it under a new name.

They used to be located at C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0\Presets but I don't see them there. 

I want to back up these presets I customized, and be able to find them to import on another machine.

Doesn't work for me either. I have purchased presets from Motion Array that I've been using. Got a new computer and I am trying to copy my presets and they are not in the Media Encoder folder.

Not sure how this happened, but I found mine in the Media Encoder folder at this path:

I looked in this location (I am on version 6.0) but the folder is blank. I have a bunch of old preset id like to delete still though. Any idea why this would be the case?

To anyone using Premiere 2017.1.1 v11 on MacOS, and seeking the presets from within the exporter dialogue such as I was, mine were stored here:

/Users/your user name here/Documents/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/11.0/Presets

On Windows, they are located here:

System Drive (C:) > Users > [USERNAME] > Documents > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > [PREVIOUS VERSION] > Presets

Where [USERNAME] is your user name on the Windows PC and [PREVIOUS VERSION] is the numeric identifier (i.e., "11.0") for the last Media Encoder/Premiere version that you had presets saved in.  Select them all, copy and then paste into the latest version folder (i.e., "12.0").

No clue why they don't just copy them over when you update your apps....

Hey Mark,

I'm seeing them saved at:

C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\AME\6.0\Presets

Does anyone know where they are stored on a Mac with CS5.5?  I looked in the Library folder but find no sub folder under Application Support/Adobe for AME.  I don't see anything that looks right in Common either.

Except since you have 5.5 it might not be 5.0 but the rest of the locations should still apply.
