CHAPTER 11 230
Saving, Exporting, and Closing Files
To export a mix to an audio file:
1 Do one of the following:
• To export part of a session, select the desired area in the track display.
• To export an entire session, deselect everything in the track display. (If necessary, click
the track display to reveal the current-time indicator.)
2 Choose File > Export > Audio.
3 Choose a location for the file, type a filename, and choose a file format.
4 Depending on the format you choose, additional options may be available. To view
format-specific options, click Options. For more information on format-specific options,
see “Choosing an audio file format” on page 231.
5 Select Save Extra Non-Audio Information to save header fields containing file infor-
mation and cue marks in the file. In addition, if you save a .wav file, this option stores the
pathname to the original session file, effectively linking related session and mixdown files
for Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects users. For more information, see “Working
with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects” on page 207.
If you plan to burn the file to CD by using another program, you should deselect this
option. Some CD recording applications interpret non-audio information incorrectly and
place an unpleasant burst of noise at the beginning of each track.
6 Click Save.
Exporting mixes to video
If a session includes an .avi video file, you can mix down the session and make it an audio
track for the video.
Note: While Adobe Audition can open other types of video files to get at their audio tracks, the
ability to save back the audio track works only with .avi files.
To export a mix to a video file:
1 Choose File > Export > Video.
2 Choose a location for the file, and type a filename.
3 To assign a codec for compressing the audio in the file, click Options. Choose a codec
from the pop-up menu, and click OK.
