Video and Audio,
Video Only,
Audio Only
Defines whether your Avid editing application exports video only, audio only, or both.
Use Video Only, for example, if you want to add effects in a third-party application or to
use only the video in a multimedia project. Use Audio Only, for example, if you want to
use or enhance audio in a third-party application or you want to use the audio in a
multimedia project.
Video Format The following options might be available, depending on your other settings:
• Width x Height: Defines the size of the clip. You can type in values or select from the
predefined values in the Fast menu. The values in the Fast menu suggest a typical use
for each size, for example, 320 x 240 (Internet video, large).
The Size to Fit suboption sizes to fit the specified width and height. The Crop/Pad
suboption instructs your Avid editing application not to scale or resize the frames. If
necessary, it adds black lines to the top and bottom of the frame to achieve the correct
size.
• Color Levels: Sets the color to either RGB or 601/709.
• File Field Order: Defines which field is the upper field during export. For 23.976p,
24p, or 25p projects, these options do not appear, and all fields are automatically
exported as progressive (still) frames.
Use the Odd (Upper Field First) suboption if you are in a PAL project. Field 1
becomes the upper field (its lines become the odd-numbered lines) in the frame.
Field 2's lines become the even-numbered lines.
Use the Even (Lower Field First) suboption if you are in an NTSC project. Field 1
becomes the lower field (its 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, your Avid editing application resizes the single field of 243 lines for NTSC
(288 lines for PAL) to fit the frame as specified in the width and height selection.
Audio Format The following QT Audio Options are available for exporting audio:
• Mono
•Stereo
•5.1
•7.1
•Direct Out
n
If you select Direct Out as your audio format, you should select Same as Source for
your export option for media that includes surround sound audio. This allows you
to export the track assignments in your source sequence accurately.
