Exporting to a Matrox .avi file
For example, if you have an NTSC project, you must select an NTSC codec. If
you have a 1440×1080i @ 29.97 fps project, you can select a 1440× 1080i @
29.97 fps codec to export to HD format, or you can select an NTSC codec to
downconvert the HD video to NTSC (this includes appropriate color space
conversion from HD to SD). On Matrox Axio HD, downconverting an HD
project to a 10-bit uncompressed SD format, however, is not supported.
°To export your sequence to a Matrox .avi file:
1 Choose File > Export > Movie. Click the Settings button, and from the
File Type
list, select Matrox AVI.
2 From the Range list, select an export range, then select any additional export
options.
3 From the menu on the left side of the dialog box, choose Video.
4 From the Compressor list, select the compression format you want for your
exported file.
¡ Importan t The Matrox codecs are listed in all supported SD and HD
formats. The format is shown in brackets beside the codec name, such as
[NTSC]. Make sure you select a Matrox codec in one of the supported video
