n
Your Avid editing application saves an intermediate file in a temporary folder as part of the
export process. Ensure that the temporary folder is on a drive with plenty of space. You can view
and change the location of the temporary folder in the General Settings dialog box. To save time
when exporting with the drag-and-drop method, locate the temporary folder on the drive where
you want to store the exported file.
If a power failure or application error occurs during the export process, the entire file is unusable.
You need to repeat the export process. The only exception is a sequential file sequence, where all
frames up to the point of failure are usable.
To identify and select the material you want to export:
1. Identify the portion of the clip or sequence you want to export.
