Movie as a series of individual frames
This option exports the video as a sequence of single frames in bitmap format.
This means a graphic file will be created for every frame of the video. The
image count may be determined in the export dialog under "Frame rate".
Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + E
Windows Media Export
Exports the arrangement in Windows Media format. This is a universal
audio/video format from Microsoft. The setting options in the Advanced dialog
are correspondingly complex.
Manual configuration
Audio/Video codec: Various codecs corresponding to the many versions of
Windows Media (7, 8, 9) are possible. If playback compatibility problems arise,
try an older codec with a lower version number.
Bit rate mode: Constant and variable bit rate modes are possible; however,
most devices and streaming applications require a constant bit rate. For VBR
two-pass modes, the movie is compressed in two passes for optimal use of
the bandwidth required for highly-compressed movies on the Internet.
Bit rate/quality/audio format: The bit rate substantially determines the display
and audio quality. The higher this is, the better your videos will look and the
larger the files and the required encoding time will be. For variable bit rates, the
bit rate is adapted dynamically to the requirements of the corresponding
picture or sound material. Here, either the quality value of between 1-100 can
be set or, for two-pass encoding, an average or maximum bit rate. For audio,
the bit rate is set additionally by the audio format.
Import from system profile (export type): For the most used methods (other
than for playback on mobile devices; for this you should use the supplied
presets), e.g. Internet streaming, Microsoft provides a diverse selection of
system profiles. If you have the Windows Media Encoder 9 installed (available
from Microsoft as a free download), then you can edit the profiles or create
your own. These can be loaded by pressing the "Import from profile file"
button.
