>> With Adobe Media Encoder, you can publish your Adobe Premiere Pro project directly to Facebook.
That is, transcoding and uploading in one step.
Let me show you how it works.
Here I am in Premiere Pro with a video that I want to share with my friends on Facebook.
To export it, I choose File, Export, Media.
Now I am presented with the export settings dialog box.
To make optimal use of the background rendering features of Adobe Media Encoder, I will send this video to Media Encoder by clicking on this Queue button.
This launches Adobe Media Encoder and places a sequence into the encoding queue.
Now I will need to tell Media Encoder to encode and upload my video to Facebook.
Here on the right side are my presets.
I can quickly find the Facebook preset by typing in Facebook in the search box.
I drag this preset on the video.
To tell Media Encoder the details of my Facebook account, I click on the preset name in the queue.
This opens the Export Setting dialog box.
This dialog box is very similar to the one in Premiere Pro.
If you're interested, you can go to the Effects tab where you can add an image overlay like logo to watermark your video or overlay the name or time code.
But chances are you just want to upload your video as is so you can ignore this tab.
The properties in the other tabs are filled in by the Facebook preset, so you don't need to change anything there.
What I do want to do is go to the Publish tab and check Facebook.
Since this is the first time I'm doing this, I need to get authorization from Facebook for Media Encoder to upload the video to my Facebook account.
I do this by clicking on this login button.
This will open the authorization window where I type in my credentials.
This means I'm allowing Media Encoder to publish videos to my Facebook account.
Back in Media Encoder, I can now adjust the privacy preferences, and I can add a description.
When all is set, click OK to close the Export Settings dialog box.
Now I can hit the green star queue button, and Media Encoder gets to work.
As Media Encoder is designed to work in the background, I can go back to Premiere Pro and work on other projects or even work on the same project and create a different version for use elsewhere.
Changes that I make to the project in Premiere Pro will not effect the video that is now encoding because Media Encoder is working on a copy of the project in the queue.
I see that encoding has finished and that the application is busy uploading the video to my Facebook account.
When the upload is done, you can click on the link that will get you straight to the video on Facebook.
Facebook might need a few minutes to get a video ready.
Directly after this, Facebook makes the video available to be shared and liked by my friends on Facebook.
And that is how easy it is to publish your video to Facebook.
