When exporting a sequence, the sequence itself is the source in the Export dialog box—not
the clips inside the sequence, which will have already been conformed to the sequence
settings.7. Click the Export button to create a media file based on the sequence. Note that DNxHD
media files can be viewed and edited in Premiere Pro but cannot (usually) be previewed in
macOS or Windows.Choosing another codec
When you export to a new media file, you can choose the codec that’s used. Some camera
capture formats (such as the popular H.264 .MP4 files commonly produced by DSLR
cameras) are already heavily compressed. Using a higher-quality mastering codec can help to

chooses options from other menus in this dialog box that you can change if you need to.
Note
On the Video tab, you’ll also find the option Render At Maximum Depth. When
working without GPU acceleration, this can improve the visual quality of your output
by using greater precision to generate colors. However, this option can add to the
render time.3. Click the output name (the blue text), and give the file a new name, Review Copy 02.
Navigate to the same destination you used in the previous exercise and click Save.Below the Export Settings area is a tabbed group of important settings. Here’s an overview
of those tabs:
