Export Settings: OMFI, AAF, and AFE
The following table describes options available in Export Settings: OMFI, AAF, and AFE.
Audio Only Select this option if you want to export only the audio. For example, use this option if you
want to use or enhance audio in a third-party application or use the audio in a multimedia
project.
Video Format Color Levels: Select this option to set color to RGB or 601/709.
File Field Order: These options allow you to select the field that is the upper field
during export. For 23.976p, or 25p projects, these options do not appear; all fields are
automatically exported as progressive (still) frames.
Use the Odd (Upper Field First) suboption if you are in a PAL project. In forming the
export frame, Field 1 becomes the upper field, that is, Field 1's lines become the
odd-numbered lines in the frame (counted starting from 1). Field 2's lines become the
even-numbered lines.
Use the Even (Lower Field First) suboption if you are in an NTSC project. In forming
the export frame, Field 1 becomes the lower field, that is, Field 1's lines become the
even-numbered lines in the frame. Field 2's lines become the odd-numbered lines.
Use the Single Field suboption if you want the output file to consist of only Field 1. In
this case, the single field of 243 lines for NTSC (288 lines for PAL) is resized to fit the
frame as specified in the width and height selection.
