Unreadable Files dialog

This dialog may appear when using the Clean Audio Folder command. This dialog lists any files on

your system which have a Cakewalk file extension (.cwp, .cwt, .wrk, and .tpl), but cannot be read by

SONAR. These files may be corrupt or they may not be SONAR files at all, if for instance you have

another application on your system which saves files with the same extension.

Video Export dialog

SONAR can combine an inserted video file with the audio tracks you record in a project to form a

new AVI, Windows Media Video, or QuickTime file. You can also save to an external FireWire

device. Choosing the File > Export > Video command opens the Video Export dialog box, which

offers the following options:

• Save in. Choose the folder you want to store your new video file in.

• File name. Fill in a name for your new file.

• Save As Type. Choose Video for Windows (AVI), Windows Media Video, or QuickTime. If you

have an external FireWire device connected, you can choose AVC Compliant Device, or whatever

your device is named. See Exporting a project to a FireWire DV device for more information.

• Video Export Settings:

• Encoding Options button. Clicking this button opens an encoding options dialog for the

kind of file you chose in the Save As Type field.

• Audio Mixdown Options button. Clicking this button opens the Audio Mixdown Options

dialog, which allows you to choose mono, stereo, or multichannel export; what sound card

driver you’re using to export; and all the audio components from your project that you want to

include in the exported mix.

Video Properties dialog

Right-clicking a video in the Video view and choosing Video Properties from the pop-up menu

opens the Video Properties dialog box. This dialog box has three tabs—the Video Settings tab,

the Info tab, and the Render Quality tab.

Video Settings tab

The Video Settings tab lets you set playback time options, and has the following fields:

Important: If any of your projects appears in this dialog, do not proceed to delete any audio

in the Clean Audio Folder dialog without first restoring these projects from a backup source

such as a Bundle file (.cwb). If SONAR cannot read a project file, any audio associated with it

will be listed in the Clean Audio Folder dialog.
