For filmmakers, there may not be a golden moment more exciting and nerve-racking than finishing your feature film edit and finally exporting it to share with the world. However, unlike most commercial, corporate, and short films, a feature film (90 minutes or longer) requires different settings and higher stakes.<\/p>\n

As you might imagine, feature film exports can take a long, long time. And when\u00a0you’re up against the clock to get a project online or submitted to a festival, if you do it wrong, you\u2019ll be lose hours and hours taking another shot at it. So, to\u00a0calm your nerves, let\u2019s look at some best practices for exporting a feature film in\u00a0Adobe Premiere Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When tackling major projects with lots of sections and files, it\u2019s usually best to divide and conquer. If you know your feature well, you should be able to work out the film scene by scene with just the files from those shoots. Ideally, you can find ways to organize and maybe even do rush edits on set during production or immediately after. Working sequence by sequence will help you trim the fat as you get each section as clean as possible.<\/p>\n

Set Your Final Timeline<\/h3>\n

Once your different sequences are edited to your liking, make sure each sequence is as bare-bones as possible. Delete all your leftover footage, edits, unnecessary effects, etc. Your final step should be creating your master timeline, where you can bring in each of your sections. You can try batching them, but you\u2019ll probably want to streamline color, sound, and other variables all together at the end.<\/p>\n

Review Audio Mix and Color<\/h3>\n

As mentioned above, once you’ve built out your final timeline, this is where you\u2019ll do your final mixes and coloring. Even if you\u2019ve done both before or throughout, you\u2019ll likely want to review to\u00a0ensure consistency from beginning to end.<\/p>\n
