    When bringing footage in to Premiere and placing it on a timeline for the first time, Premiere will ask if you want to match the settings to the timeline or to the footage. If you select the footage settings, then it will change the Sequence to match and real time playback should be smooth with very little rendering.

    When exporting the Sequence you can select “Match Sequence Settings” which will create an exported file with the same codec, frame size, and frame rate as the Sequence you edited in. Look at your Sequence/Sequence Settings in Premier to see what they are. If you uncheck the “Match Sequence Settings” it allows you to change the format, codec, frame size, frame rate and so on. Customizing your export file.

    hi Joe

    Premiere will ask if you want to match the settings to the timeline or to the footage

    it have never asked me to match the settings

    When exporting the Sequence you can select “Match Sequence Settings” which will create an exported file with the same codec

    but if i had in my project some clips like mov ,mp4 and avi ,what codec will it use ?
    seeing the clips are different containers

    thanks Joe!

    Usually it will use Mpeg I frame for preview.

    General speaking I would not use Match Sequence Settings as it will use the Preview codec which is of lesser quality.

    When exporting just use a preset or make the export settings yourself.

    Best advice for you using multiple formats in the timeline is
    do not use “Match Sequence Settings”.

    Uncheck the “Match Sequence Settings” box.

    Select the Format that you would like the export file to be, QuickTime, H.264, AVI….

    Then select a Preset that best meets your needs.

    Smart render is only for certain formats:
