    If you are working with a PC try exporting it out as a Video for windows then use Adobe Media Encoder to change it to MPEG-2.

    There are many other ways but try that.

    You need to set the multiplexing.
    However, as kinda already mentioned, it’s best to render uncompressed out of AE and use something else (like Adobe Media Encoder) to do your final compression. AE can’t do multipass compression. Multipass compression gets you better-looking video at smaller file sizes.

    You can import AE compositions straight into the Media Encoder and/or Premiere, but it’s essentially launching an instance of the AE renderer…
    I wouldn’t do it, because I have a workflow that goes well for me. I would suggest you do a test and see what works best for you.
