Ensure that the Render at Maximum Depth and Use Maximum Render Quality options are checked for the best quality. Consider enabling Use Previews if you have rendered previews to speed up the export process. Keep an eye on the file size as Facebook has upload limits, and larger files may take longer to upload. If creating content specifically for mobile, use a vertical format (9:16) or square (1:1) for better engagement. Always preview your exported video before uploading to ensure quality and compatibility.After setting these parameters, click on Export to begin the process. Adjust any settings based on your specific needs or preferences!
It's worth noting that the settings are the same in all video editing software, not just Adobe Premiere Pro.
