# Adobe Premiere Elements 10: File > Export is greyed out

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-02-22)

I have a new install of APE 10 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

I am a new user of APE.

I have edited a .MOV file, and now I want to save it in a format compatible with YouTube.

When I go to the File menu, **Export is greyed out**.

What are the requirements before being able to export in Adobe Premiere Elements 10?

Thanks.
