The settings shown here come from built-in presets.
 Current Settings: This uses the current sequence or clip settings of the item you
selected for export.

Choose Audio and Video, Audio Only, or Video Only from the Include pop-up menu.
Important:
An audio track in a QuickTime movie file takes up disk space even if it is
empty. If your QuickTime movie doesn’t need an audio track, choose Video Only.
All audio that requires rendering is automatically rendered with a render quality of
High, regardless of the render quality setting. Even QuickTime movies that you
output that don’t have the Recompress All Frames checkbox selected will have the
highest-quality audio. For more information about how multichannel audio is exported,
see Volume III, Chapter 10, “Exporting Audio for Mixing in Other Applications.”

Choose which markers you want to export from the Markers pop-up menu.
For more information about the different kinds of markers you can export, see the next

Exporting QuickTime Movies with Markers
Important:
Markers within sequence clips are never exported—only markers in the
sequence itself are exported.

To export a QuickTime movie with all video, audio, and rendered media in a self-contained

information, see “
