Exporting video - where does it go?

I've exported finished videos, but I can't figure out where Premier is putting them on my computer. It would be nice to be able to control that. But in the export settings I see no way to do that. I have to find the exported file by using the spotlight search on my Mac. Can't I create a folder and put all my exported videos into it? How do I do that?

This video will show you how to find videos that you might have misplaced, and it shows you how to choose an export location for each video so you'll never lose a video again!

When you go into the Export dialog/process, the name of the video is highlighted in blue. Click that, and it will open the Finder/Explorer window and show where it is planning on putting the clip.

If you want to change, simply change that location.

usually when you go to the export dialog again and click on the output name, it will open the same destination as you previously used. If that doesn't work, do a OS level search for the file name...

It took my a little while to figure out...but the standard place where it saves is under Documents. There is a folder there labeled "Adobe". Under that go to the folder labeled "PremierPro" and it should be there.

I have to admit, I have some sympathy for the engineers here.

They put that right at the top ... you set format, preset, add a comment if desired, the next thing is the Output ... and they even highlight the output name.

Does it need a neon flashing sign or something? Somehow so many of us completely ignore the highlighted Output line.

What I am really trying to ask (because I figued the other issue out thanks to you) is when I Cmd-M, I get the media encoder screen which I am hearing has a start button over the listed files.* I am not getting that.

I'm sorry I seem stupider than I am because I have a visual impairment, for which a flashing red neon sign would actually help! But I now know what I'm looking for. ) I can find nothing on the web about this.* I know Premiere is not for the visually impaired, but I persist. Thank you, Jed.

If you are not getting the Export Settings screen when you type Command + M, make sure you have something that will export - like a sequence, or a clip, or have the timeline active before you execute the short cut. If you don't have something that can be exported selected, and you type Command + M, nothing will happen.
