Learn to export or share your video on your computer, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Pinterest using the Sharing Center in Premiere Elements. 

Sharing your videos is now simpler and easier than before with Sharing Center. You can export your projects faster with Quick Export. On the other hand, the Export & Share panel contains everything you need to save and share your finished project. You can save your video for viewing on the web, mobile phones, computers, and more.

The Export & Share option includes all the available export formats in a single panel. Individual tabs on the Export & Share panel represent the various media options you can choose from.

If you would like to learn more about the Video Export Settings in Premiere Elements 2025, you can click here. For Video Export Settings in Premiere Elements 2024 and earlier versions, click here. 

Quick Export

The Quick Export option is the easiest way to export your videos. The video format created with Quick Export can be viewed across multiple devices. You can also share this format on several online platforms.

You must provide the path where you want to save your video, select the preset from the dropdown, and select the Export button.

Computer

The video you edit in the Quick View or Advanced View timeline is available as an independent video file once you export or share it to a video format. After export, you can play it back on your computer, in other media players or editing programs, and move it to other computers.

Premiere Elements also lets you quickly export your movie in formats suitable for specific mobile devices by providing optimized settings for specific devices. You can use the default settings for best results.

  1. Select the mdia you want to export.

  2. Choose Export & Share from the header bar at the top of Premiere Elements to open the Export workspace.

    The export workflow moves from left to right. Start by selecting a destination for your video from the choices in the left-hand column, such as YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn or Local Computer.

    Premiere Elements presents optimized export settings based on your destination. 

  3. Accept the default H.264 preset or choose a different preset from the Preset menu. You can also customize your export settings and save your custom presets  by clicking on the dotted menu, next to Preset drop down.

    Note:

    While individual settings are available for all export parameters, Match Source presets are often the best option. These adaptive presets use the same frame size, frame rate, and so on as your source. Choose the High Bitrate preset to export a high-quality video.

    Choose export presets from the dropdown menu or click More presets to open the Preset Manager and manage your presets

  4. Use the Preview window to preview, scrub, and playback your media before export, set a custom duration, and control how the source video fits within the output frame if exporting to a different frame size.

    • Range lets you customize the duration of your exported video. 
      • Entire Source: if the entire duration of the sequence or clip will be exported
      • Work Area: exports the Work Area Bar duration (sequences only)
      • Custom: honors custom In/Out Points set in Export mode
    • Scaling lets you adjust how the source fits within the exported frame when exporting to a different frame size.         
      • Scale to fit: Resizes the source to fit the output frame without any distortion or cropped pixels. Black bars may be visible.
      • Scale to fill: Resizes the source to fill the output frame with no black bars.  Some pixels may be cropped.
      • Stretch to fill: Stretches the source to completely fill the output frame without any black bars or cropped pixels. The frame aspect is not maintained so that the video may look distorted.

  5. Click Export.

Social Media

Premiere Elements lets you export your movie in formats suitable for delivery through the Internet. Using the Export & Share panel, you can upload your video directly to the web.

Select an online sharing platform from the Social Media category. The options available are YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest.

Using the recommended settings is the quickest way to export your movie. You can also customize the settings to match a specific situation. Remember, however, to make sure that the data rate of your movie is appropriate for the intended playback medium.

To share to YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo, click Sign-in to initiate the authorization process, after which you can continue with the sharing workflow of the selected platform.
To share on Pinterest, LinkedIn and Instagram, save the video to a local folder and then upload it to the selected platform.
