Customizing Export Settings
1018
Your Avid editing application exports the file.
To export a frame, clip, or sequence by dragging and dropping:
1. Identify and select the material you want to export as described above.
2. In the Settings list in the Project window, select the setting you want to use for export.
You can select the default Export setting, the preset templates, or any additional Export
setting you have created. After you select a setting in the Settings list, the parameters remain
the default settings for all exported files, unless you change them during the export. This is
especially useful when you batch export a number of files directly from a bin at the same
time. To view or modify the parameters, double-click the setting. For information on
modifying options, see “Customizing Export Settings” on page 1018.
3. Click the clip or sequence from which you want to export and drag it to the location (folder
or drive) where you want to store the file. To select multiple objects, Ctrl+click (Windows)
or Shift+click (Macintosh) the objects and drag them to the folder or drive.
Customizing Export Settings
You can create and customize your own Export settings, either from the Project window or while
performing an export by using the Export menu command.
To create a new Export setting from the Project window:
1. Click the Settings tab in the Project window.
The Settings list appears.
2. Click Export.
3. Select Edit > Duplicate.
4. Name the setting by doing the following:
a. Click the custom name column.
b. Type a name.
c. Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
n
The custom name column is the center column in the Project window. When you move the pointer
over the custom name column, the pointer changes from a pointing finger to a text insertion bar.
5. Double-click the new Export setting.
The Export Settings dialog box opens.
6. Select the appropriate file type and options based on the descriptions in “Export Settings” on
page 1382.
