Ironically, the Quick Export window is not designed to be... Quick!

The regular Export Settings Window always defaults to the last used preset when used, which is the logical/intelligent approach since it's far more likely a user will want to use the last used preset when exporting again rather than the arbitrary first entry in the list of Presets.

So why then, does the new 'Quick' Export always default to the first, arbitrary entry in its list of presets?!

If a user always wants to use the same "High Quality 720p HD" preset each time they export with Quick Export, for example, how is there anything 'Quick' about forcing them to manually select this preset from the list... every... single... time?

Thank you for fixing this promptly! (as the Quick Export tool is essentially useless in its function of actually saving the user time otherwise)

File/Export/H.264

Selecting Level 5.2, (needed for 2160p60), in Encoding Settings means that Hardware Encoding changes to Software Encoding. Reselecting Hardware Encoding results in a message saying that "Your system doesn't support hardware acceleration". However this doesn't happen in any other level, including 6.0 and above.

What I've also noticed is that in all other Levels, under "Bitrate encoding: VBR, 1 pass" you only have a Target Bitrate, but with 5.2 selected you also have a Maximum Bitrate option, which is what you'd normally only get with "VBR, 2 pass". So it looks like with Level 5.2 selected Premiere gives you the options of a 2 pass encode, even if you've selected 1 pass, (software only & Maximum bitrate).

This bug seen in 14.3.1, 14.2, and possibly earlier versions.

Sometimes customers want just to have clips delivered to do internal project from the clips which have been filmed and they do not want a sequence of clips and not a video edited.
So we need to apply some corrections on each clips (stabilization, color corrections, cut of some part of one clip etc) before to be able to deliver them these clips.

But problem, there is no way to export individual clips from a Premiere Pro sequence at once. We need to put in and out on each clip in the sequence and add clip by clip in a queue to Media Encoder and then only export all of it at once. So much wasted time.

It would be useful to have a function that let us to export all clips included in a premiere pro sequence, as individual clips in a folder destination, with an automatic file naming.

The following happens while using h.264 encoder and hardware encoding.

I've set bitrate to CBR 60 mbps

I get the message "Export successful"

The exported file is somehow corrupted. Estimated filesize is roughly 40 gb. However, the filesize of the actual exported file is only 20 gb. During encoding the filesize of a temporary file was roughly 40 gb just before the encoding was completed.

According to file properties the lenght of the video is 1 h 30 min (which it should be since that is the lenght of the sequence). Total bitrate is 62954 kbps. However, since the filesize is only 20,8 gb, this doesn't add up mathematically.

If I try import the file to Premiere Pro, Premiere Pro stops responding. If I try to open the file with MPV Media Player the first half of the video plays ok. However, after about 47 minutes the media player crashes. This is understandable since there most likely is nothing to be played (the filesize is about half of what it should be).

I exported an mp3 audio only file that is working ok.

I'm using latest nvidia studio drivers for my RTX 2080 Super and my Win 10 is up to date.

Update 1

I rolled back to 14.4 and cleared some disk space. After the I could export the file with no issues.

--

Update 2

I updated back to 14.5.

After I started to render the video I got this error:

Around timecode: 00:05:11:00
Exporter Selector: 9
Error Code: 3

I copied the video clip that matched the timecode and pasted it on a temporary place on the timeline (Let's call this clip "temporary clip"). Then I deleted the original clip and dragged the temporary clip in the original place. After this I managed to export the video without issues.

Conclusion:

Most likely there was a lack of disk space despite of the "Export successful" message.

Above is described an easy workaround to "Exporter Selector: 9 / Error Code: 3"

I'm guessing that "Exporter Selector: 9 / Error Code: 3" is unrelated to the original problem that was caused by a lack of free disk space.

When exporting from the Export Settings window, the Source Range setting should default to the last setting used rather than always defaulting to 'Work Area'.

The reason for this is obvious: If a user last exported using the 'Entire Sequence' option, for example, it is MUCH more likely the next time they export, they'll want to use the same option again rather than 'Work Area'.

I believe that features like this should go under the category of 'Respect'. Workflows that facilitate users rather than punish them with easily avoidable extra clicks here and there are workflows that respect a user's time. Plain and simple.

Please fix this.

When calling up the Quick Export window, the blue 'Export' button can be activated by pressing Enter on the keyboard. This is logical and quick.

However, if a user changes the file name/location, pressing Enter no longer does anything because it is no longer selected.

After changing the export Preset, pressing Enter opens up the list of presets again since it becomes the active window element the moment a user clicks on it. This might make sense from a programmer's point of view, but it does NOT make sense from an end user's POV. The only way to activate the Export button by keyboard is to press the Tab key to make the Export button active again.

Whether this is actually a bug or not is debatable. What is not up for debate is the fact that this is bad design that does not work for the benefit of end users.

SOLUTION:
1. Allowing users to Tab-select different parts of a user interface is good, so this should not be removed but rather fixed, so that only keyboard-actionable items are selected. The first Tab press that selects a non-visible, non-keyboard-actionable part of the interface should be removed since it does not help anyone. (see illustration)

1. Unless a user uses the Tab key to select another interface element, the ‘Export’ button should remain selected, always! This would eliminate the user confusion and frustration that results from the Export button no longer being actionable with the Enter key whenever they change a file location/name and/or preset with their mouse.

The Export Settings window works like this: the 'Queue' button remains active and actionable with the 'Enter' key no matter which settings are changed beforehand. There's absolutely no reason the new Quick Export tool should deviate from this much more logical workflow that was established long ago in the default export tool!

Please fix this so that the Quick Export tool remains consistent, and as a result, is actually quick to use!
