Usually you have to find an idea for your video, film the video and then upload the video to your channel. But if you think that\u2019s all you need to do, you are wrong. For most of the YouTubers, the real challenge is never the filming, but the editing. Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the most popular choices when it comes to YouTube video editing. It has various editing functions, all kinds of special effects and a quite intuitive user interface once you get the hang of it. It\u2019s a nice tool for YouTube video editing. But the hard truth is, after you have edited your video in Premiere Pro, you can\u2019t just drop it on your YouTube channel, sit back and wait for views and subscribers. Instead, after you have done your editing, you have to convert the Premiere Pro to YouTube, and then export Premiere Pro to YouTube. Which brings the topic we are going to talk about today: How to export Premiere Pro to YouTube, and how to export video from premiere pro to YouTube efficiently.<\/p>\n<div class=\"anchor-list-dark\">\n<ul class=\"pl40\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"#part1\">Part 1: The basics you need to know before exporting premiere to YouTube<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#part2\">Part 2: How to export premiere to YouTube with Premiere Pro<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#part3\">Part 3: How to export premiere to YouTube with Leawo Video Converter<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Part 1: The basics you need to know before exporting premiere to YouTube<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In case you are wondering, it\u2019s actually not  hard to export Premiere Pro to YouTube. However, there is still something that  you\u2019d better know before you start to export Premiere Pro to YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to know, which  happens to be the most important one, is the YouTube video aspect ratio. If you  are familiar with YouTube, you should know that all YouTube videos are in a  perfect aspect ratio of 16:9. The 16:9 aspect ratio is the standard aspect ratio  for 1080P, 2K and 4K videos. That means if your video is in an aspect ratio of  16:9, it should fit just fine with the YouTube player window.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/premiere-pro-to-youtube-aspect-ratio-01.png\" onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/premiere-pro-to-youtube-aspect-ratio-01.png\" title=\"ratio\" alt=\"ratio\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>But what if your video isn\u2019t in an aspect  ratio of 16:9?<\/p>\n<p>Well, if your video is not in an aspect  ratio of 16:9, you can still upload it to your YouTube channel. But there will  be black bars in your video known as pillar boxes to fill in the player window,  which would have a huge impact on your viewers\u2019 experience. Don\u2019t worry though,  it\u2019s easy to make sure your video is in a right aspect ratio in the process of  converting Premiere Pro to YouTube or when you export Premiere Pro to YouTube,  which we will talk about later.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing you need to know is that,  there are more than one way to export Premiere Pro to YouTube. Some of them are  efficient, others, not so much. So before you start to exporting Premiere Pro  to YouTube, you need to know which method is the best for you so that you can  save more of your time and energy. <\/p>\n<p>Next I\u2019ll give you a step-to-step guide on  how to export Premiere Pro to YouTube in different ways.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Part 2: How to export premiere to YouTube with Premiere Pro<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first method to export Premiere Pro to  YouTube is through the built-in functions of Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Pro  has a whole set of functions allowing you to adjust the output parameters of  your video after you have done your editing. You can firstly convert your video  from Premiere to YouTube, and then export Premiere Pro to YouTube within the  Premiere Pro program.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019ll introduce how to export Premiere  Pro to YouTube within the Adobe Premiere Pro program itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1)\tconvert premiere to YouTube <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, when you finish your  editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can\u2019t export your video directly to YouTube.  YouTube supports various video formats as uploaded videos. Specifically, there  are 8 formats that are supported by YouTube: MOV, MP4 (MPEG4), AVI, WMV, FLV,  3GP, MPEGPS and WebM. So, if your video is not in those formats, you need to  convert the video first. Here is how you can convert the video first.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mt10\"><strong>Step 1: In Premiere Pro, click \u201cFiles\u201d, and then \u201cExport\u201d, then choose \u201cMedia\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/premiere-pre-to-youtube-export-02.png\" onclick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/premiere-pre-to-youtube-export-02.png\" title=\"export\" alt=\"export\"\/width=\"650\" height=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"mt10\"><strong>Step 2: In the pop-up window, choose a right codec.

But as you may have already noticed,  there are some problem along the process. First, the parameters in Adobe  Premiere Pro is too overwhelming. It\u2019s really hard to know what to change and  what to remain default if you are not a pro video editor. Second, the  converting and exporting process sometimes could be very long. The detailed parameters  give you customization options, therefore a longer processing time. But for the  most of us, the extended processing time helps nothing but reducing our  efficiency. So is there a better way to export Premiere Pro to YouTube?<\/p>\n<p>Well, there certainly is. The better way to  export Premiere Pro to YouTube is by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/video-converter\/\">Leawo Video Converter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Leawo Video Converter is an all-inclusive  video converter that can convert most of the popular video formats between each  other.
