Convert it all with Adobe Media Encoder.
Unlike other video editing apps with conversion capabilities, Adobe Media Encoder (AME) was made for the sole purpose of converting and exporting footage to a wide variety of video formats. While it’s a heavyweight lifter that can handle large video file sizes with ease, it’s also a lightweight program that lets you edit in other apps like Adobe Premiere or After Effects while you convert. With a folder organization system and the ability to set presets as well as do batch conversions, AME is a handy tool for all your encoding needs.

Learn how to make lower-resolution versions of your videos with AME right from Premiere and how to switch between HD video and proxies.
Complete your video conversions with Adobe Premiere.
You can export media to AME from Premiere and After Effects. Go to File, click Export, and then select Media. Or hit Control+M (Windows) or Command+M (Mac). You’ll then be taken to the export dialogue box where you can choose your format and conversion presets. You can fine-tune your settings for a number of considerations, from the bitrate to the frame rate and image processing effects, like LUTs and timecodes.
Once you’ve selected your settings, press Queue. This will open AME and begin exporting your video in a separate window. You can continue to use Premiere if you choose to queue your files.
Convert videos in Premiere.
It’s easy to convert videos in Premiere as well. Just open the export dialogue box and, instead of clicking Queue, choose the Export option. Your video will begin rendering from Premiere.
