Step 1: Start Adobe Premiere Pro

Open Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017.1 and make sure you have the latest version of the update installed.

Step 2: Create a project or open an existing project

If you want to start a new project, you can do so now. Alternatively, open an existing project that already contains your clips or sequences.

Activate the list view by clicking on the corresponding toggle button in the lower left corner of the window. This will make it easier for you to keep track of your projects.

Step 4: Access export function

Once you are in list view, click on your project to start the export function. Go to "File," then "Export," and finally "Media."

Step 5: Install Media Encoder

Make sure you have installed Adobe Media Encoder. This is required for exporting your projects and can be obtained for free through Adobe Cloud.

Step 6: Choose export settings

Select the format in which you want to export your clip. A common format is H.264, ideal for various online platforms. You can choose a predefined template like "YouTube" or "Vimeo," depending on your needs.

Step 7: Additional export settings

After choosing the format, you can adjust additional export settings. Here, you can decide whether to export the audio as well and make further options for aspect ratio correction.

Step 8: Define custom range

You have the option to set a custom range for export. Select your specific clip range or the entire sequence to ensure everything is exported correctly.

Step 9: Add to queue

At this point, you can decide whether to export the project directly or add it to the queue for multiple exports. This feature is particularly useful if you want to upload multiple clips simultaneously.

Step 10: Register as a Contributor on Adobe Stock

Before you can upload your material, you need to register as a Contributor on Adobe Stock. Follow the link you need to get to the registration page.

Step 11: Accept terms

After arriving on the Contributor page, you must confirm that you find the terms of service acceptable. Here, you also need to confirm that you are over 18 years old and have the appropriate rights to your videos.
