Working with Export Volumes
The Avid editing application supports the creation of AS-02 Export Volumes. AS-02 is a
specification for grouping multiple versions of program content into one single bundle. These
bundles provide an efficient approach for working in a file-based environment.
For example, if you have a sequence with an English audio mix and a sequence with the same
video but with a Spanish audio mix, creating an AS-02 Export Volume allows you to have all the
program elements contained in a bundle without redundancy. The same video essence file can be
the source for the both the English and the Spanish versions. This is useful if you want to save
time on export and reduce used disk space.
The basic workflow is to create a new Export Volume Bin, copy the sequence or sequences you
want to the Volume Bin, commit the assets in the Export Volume Bin, and then archive the AS-02
bundle folder. You can also link to an existing AS-02 bundle.
Zoom In Zooms in on the lower half of the vertical axis.
Changes the scaling of the vertical axis so that the height is half that of the
maximum value in the plot. You can zoom in indefinitely to display, for example,
1/4, 1/8, or 1/16 of the maximum value.
Zoom Out Zooms out of the vertical axis by a factor of two.
Changes the scaling of the vertical axis to be twice that of the maximum value in
the plot. You can zoom out indefinitely to display, for example, 4, 8, or 16 times
the height of the maximum value.
Reset Zoom Resets the zoom so that the vertical axis boundary is equal to the maximum value
in the plot.
