Here on the Media Encoder, you think you’re going to do everything here inside the Media Encoder.īut I click on this hotlink here and it opens up another piece of software, opens up the Export Settings dialog box or it could be – it looks like a separate program. Now if I click on the hotlink here instead of the dropdown list, this is the one little kind of confusing thing about the Media Encoder. For example if I choose QuickTime, then later on I can choose the codec. What is confusing for some people is that this is a codec, which you can use inside QuickTime. Most folks will take H.264 which makes MP4 files. What kind of a file do I want this to be and it shows whatever I did last? The first thing if I click the drop down list here, I choose essentially a file format which makes sense. The workflow seems to be like we’re going to go left to right. Note: remember to watch the video tutorial Jeff, our Adobe certified instructor has prepared for you. Today’s post will help you understand codecs and video containers in Adobe Media Encoder.
