Export Settings: QuickTime Movie Settings
Create Preview When this options is selected, your Avid editing application creates a preview of the
QuickTime movie.
Display Aspect
Ratio
Defines an image size for the video you want to export: Native, 4:3, or 16:9. This lets you
control the display format without modifying the source file.
This option creates metadata data that is stored with the QuickTime movie. Some
applications, such as the QuickTime Player, can interpret this metadata and scale the
image at display time.
This option is useful for the Same as Source option because that option also preserves the
original format. When you select Same as Source, the selections in the Display Aspect
Ratio area are based on the resolution of the media you are exporting and the project type
(NTSC or PAL).
When you select Custom, your Avid editing application calculates the Display Aspect
Ratio selections from the values you enter for Width x Height in the Video Format tab.

Settings: QuickTime Compression Settings” on page 1393.
Filter Opens the Choose Video Filter dialog box, which lets you apply a single effect filter during an

Size Opens the Export Size Settings dialog box. QuickTime lets you set a size, but Avid recommends
you set the size in the Width and Height text boxes of the Export Settings dialog box. Both
settings have the same effect, and the QuickTime size setting overrides the Avid size setting.

Settings Opens the Sound Settings dialog box, which lets you select a sound compression setting for your
