Here is a Walk Through for Premiere ProductionLink:

1. Install ProductionLink.
   
   Set your user preferences. You usually only set user preferences once per user.
2. Run Premiere and load your time line with the project to be rendered to Interplay.
   You need to select your time line (outline in yellow below).
   Alternately you can select a file in the Project Bin (screen shot below this one)
   

Alternately you can select a file in the Project Bin

3. In the File menu select Export and then Media (Ctrl+M)
   
4. This brings up the Export Settings dialog.
   In the Format pull down select AVID Interplay.
   
5. In Output Name you can select the render path, preferably to ISIS.
   You should have already mounted the ISIS as a letter drive (usually Z:)
   click here for ISIS client info
   You click on the file name to set the name and path.
   The ISIS path is usually something like Z:/Avid Mediafiles/MXF/computername.1
   You can save to another path if you do not have ISIS.

6. Now you need to VERIFY SETTINGS.
   This is very important as Premiere can cache previous settings.
   These cached settings might have nothing to do with this render.
   Please check EVERY setting!
   Usually you want to match the Source: settings so verify that Output matches Source:
   You may need to make the Export Settings dialog taller or scroll to see all the settings.
   
   Usually you want Pixel AspectRatio: to be Square Pixels (1.0) but use what you know to be best.
   Field Type: None is Progressive. If you are using 1280x720 then use None for Field Type.
   NTSC is Field Type Lower First.
   PAL is Field Type Upper First.
   1080i is Field Type Upper First.
   1080p is None.
7. Your audio settings should also match the Source.
   
8. Now that you have verified ALL the settings you can press "Export".
   You could alternately have pressed "Queue" to send the export to Adobe Media Encoder.
   If you are using Adobe Media Encoder then you MUST get all the settings right here.
   Settings are much harder to change properly later inside Adobe Media Encoder.
9. Pressing "Export" brings up the ProductionLink Interplay bin tree browser dialog.
   Note that we are navigating the actual Interplay tree database structure.
   
10. Note that the default name is the name set in the construct or the last export.
11. We will set IBC test for the name of this export.
    
12. If the name exists you will be prompted for a new name.
    You can choose to have random characters added to the name or you can change the name yourself.
    
13. Now the export renders to the ISIS and completes.
14. If you are using an ISIS you have already used Avid ISIS Client Manager to mount the ISIS.
    This will be either something like a Z: drive on a PC or /Volumes/workspace or such on a Mac.

15. 
    The ISIS path is usually something like Z:/Avid Mediafiles/MXF/computername.1
    You can save to another path if you do not have ISIS.
