Having created my own additional presets for encoding formats on one system, I want to copy them to another.   As it happens, these “systems” are the Boot Camp Windows and the Mac OS sides of the same MacBook.

So how do I copy them?

As it happens, Adobe Media Encoder has menu options:

• Preset > Export
• Preset > Import

Nevertheless, looking behind the scenes…

Each Preset is stored as an [.epr] file.  So where are the [.epr] files kept?

Web-search:

• Google:[adobe premiere presets location]
  • http://premierepro.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:Where_are_the_Adobe_Media_Encoder_Preset_files_kept%3F
    • [c:\documents and settings\user name\application Data\Adobe\Premiere Pro\2.0\MediaIO\Presets]
• Explore my own system:
  • Mac OS: (just a few examples)
    • /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro CS6/MediaIO/presets
    • /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder CS6/MediaIO/systempresets/
    • /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CS5.5/Support Files/(MediaIO)/systempresets/
  • Windows:
