Creating a master copy allows you to make a pristine digital copy of your edited project that
can be archived for future use. A master copy is a self-contained, fully rendered digital file
output of your sequence at the highest resolution and best quality possible. Once it’s created,
you can use a file of this kind as a separate source to produce other compressed output formats
without opening the original project in Premiere Pro.
Choosing the source range
On the lower left of the Export Settings dialog box you’ll find the Source Range controls,
which you’ll use to define the portion of the source clip or sequence to export. You can export
the entire sequence, a range defined by setting an In point and an Out point in the sequence, or
a custom range set in this dialog box.
You can apply new In and Out points by using the small triangular handles and navigator directly
above the menu, by positioning the playhead in this dialog box and clicking the Set In point and
Set Out buttons, or by pressing I and O.
By default, if In and Out points have already been applied, they are used to define the export
range.
Matching sequence settings
Ideally, the frame size, frame rate, and codec of a master file will closely match the sequence
it’s based on. Premiere Pro makes this easy by offering a Match Sequence Settings option
when you export.
1. Continue working with the Review Copy sequence.
2. With the sequence selected in the Project panel or open in the Timeline panel, with that
panel active, choose File > Export > Media. The Export Settings dialog box opens.
