Outputs:

Each of these outputs represents a separate media file which will be generated

from the current Motion project. For example, you might want to create an iPod version,
burn a DVD, and upload a copy to YouTube, all from the same project, and all at the same
time. For more information about creating multiple outputs, see

Creating Multiple Outputs

.

Each output contains a set of controls to configure the file it will create.

Output type:

Use this pop-up menu to select the type of output media file. The choices

are: Apple TV, Blu-ray, DVD, iPhone, iPod, MobileMe, YouTube, Apple ProRes 422, Apple
ProRes with Alpha (which uses the Apple ProRes 4444 codec), QuickTime H.264, and
Other.

Use the Other output to create a file based on any (preset) setting from the list provided
by Compressor. You can customize any setting in Compressor and save it for future Share
export sessions. For more about creating presets in Compressor, see the Compressor
User Manual
, available in Compressor Help.

Filename Template:

Motion automatically enters a filename in this field for the output

media file. The first part of the filename is based on the Motion project name. Motion
also automatically appends an output type identifier (such as “iPod” or “YouTube”) at the
end of the filename. You can manually edit any portion of the filename by double-clicking
it.
