Export Settings: Graphic Format
Graphic Format Defines a graphic format for export. The Format Options button lets you set export
parameters. For more information on available graphic formats, see “Export Settings:
Graphic Format” on page 1402.
Width x Height Defines the size of the clip. Click the Fast Menu button, and select from a list of standard
dimensions.
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 This option lets you set color to either RGB or 601/709.
Sequential Files When this option is selected, your Avid editing application produces a series of still
images, numbered sequentially. The fps rate of the source file determines the number of
still image files that are produced.
Select Markers only to produce images only for those frames that contain markers.
• Topmost Image: When this option is selected, if you have multiple tracks, and a
marker is on a lower track but is obscured by a higher track clip, the highest available
track will be used in the sequential list over the lower track.
• Use Comments: When this option is selected, the marker comment will be used as the
name for the saved graphic.
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.
