QuickTime Movie
When you export your project as a QuickTime movie, the project is rendered as a movie
file (.mov). Exported QuickTime movies can include both video and audio, video only, or
audio only.
Image Sequence
When you export your project as an image sequence, each frame is rendered as an image
file. The filename of each image file includes a sequence number that is incremented for
each successive file. Exported image sequences can include video only.
You can define the number of digits in the sequence number by adding a pound character
(#) for each digit to the end of the filename, and enclosing the pound characters in
brackets [ ]. For example, to make the sequence number four digits long, you add [####]
to the end of the filename.
Note: When you export an image sequence, Motion creates a still image for each frame
of the project, which can result in a large number of files. You may want to create an
empty folder to contain the image sequence files.
Current Frame
When you choose Current Frame, your project is exported as a still image (based on the
current playhead position). Exported still images include video only.
For a complete listing of video, image, and audio export formats, see Video and File
Formats .
Setting Export Options
If no export preset meets your specific needs, you can customize the export settings for
your project. You can set export options for video, audio, and output individually. You
can also set advanced export options, including QuickTime compression and audio
settings.
To change the video export options
1 Choose File > Export, then click the Options button.
The Export Options dialog appears, with the Video/Audio pane visible.
