Exporting from timeline to ThumbDrive to play on my Television’s USB port
I just finished a 1 hour timeline in Premiere Pro CC 2018.
How do I export this timeline so I can get it on a ThumbDrive, put that ThumbDrive into my my TV’s USB Port, and watch it on my TV?
What file do I export the timeline to? H.264? Quicktime? ….
Before I put it on my ThumbDrive, do I have make any type of folders or anything like that?
If I wanted to, could I put the 1 hour timeline in one folder and some extra clips in another folder on the same drive so people could watch just the clips or the whole thing? It will be their choice.
Thanks in Advance.

h.264 in an MP4 wrapper is usually the best bet, but no guarantees. Not all TV makers will support the same file types. And the really cheap TV’s can be a crap shoot regarding what they will play.
As for folder support, again, this may vary from one TV brand to another. I believe most will support folders.
System:
Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
Win 7 64-bit
32GB RAM
Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
256GB SSD system drive
4 internal media drives RAID 5
Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF. -
OK,
Thanks.
After I Export my H.264 or MP4 from the Premiere Timeline and Media Encoder and drag it onto a ThumbDrive, what do I have to do to the ThumbDrive itself?
Do I have to erase and format it? If so, which format? FAT 32?
Thanks in advance

You shouldn’t have to format it. Should already be fat32, unless it’s already been formatted to something else before. I would stick with the Fat32 format. Most devices should be able to read it.
