How do you export a square video for facebook?

Hi

I want to upload my video onto facebook in a square format. I'm using premiere pro cc and I've set my sequence settings exactly to the specifications in this guide: Creating High Quality Instagram Videos Using Adobe Premiere Pro CC // Tutorial | Who Is Matt? Matt Johnson Productions.

That has worked fine whilst editing but when it comes to exporting I've always been told to do it in PAL, as I am in the UK, rather than NTSC and in the guide above it tells me to export in NTSC and as a quicktime file. Will this still work when I upload to Facebook?

Also I am putting the videos that I am creating into an exhibition and displaying them on a TV via a Memory Stick. If I export this as NTSC I'm sure it won't work on a TV, so does this mean that I will have to export it twice, one as PAL for the TV and the other as NTSC for facebook?

Also when I use the settings in the guide to export it and change it to PAL my video is messed up and layers in the video aren't where I placed them so I can't get it to export that way.

I realise my explanation might be a little confusing, I'm not good at explaining things so please ask as many questions as you want!

Thank You

Export at the same frame rate you shot with, don't change that.

You can either edit in a sequence that matches your footage, and crop during export, or edit in a sequence that matches your desired export, cropping while editing.

The latter has some advantages, allowing you to better control the cropping.  Some transitions will also look better.

Just be sure to keep the dimensions of your final export evenly divisible by 8.  This is a cardinal rule of online video.
