Exporting QuickTime, Audio, and Image Sequence Media
You can export your project as a movie file using the Export Movie command in the Share
menu. Use this option when you want to use the media in another application, copy it
to an external drive for a client to review, or publish it to an unsupported website.
You can limit what’s exported from your project to objects you select using the Export
Selection to Movie command. This is useful for exporting background or foreground
plates , excluding parts of the composition as a stand-alone movie file.
You can also export only your project’s audio using the Export Audio command. You
might want to do this to create an audio file that contains a mix of all the project’s audio
tracks.
You can export your project’s visuals as an image sequence—a set of sequentially
numbered still-image files that are compatible with a many professional finishing,
compositing, and grading applications—using the Export Image Sequence command.
