Exporting Your Project
When you export your project, you can choose the kind of export and which media to
include in the exported file. You can choose an export preset, or set video, audio, and
output export options individually. You can export the entire project or, if you have
marked a play range, export only the play range.
To export your project:
1 Choose File > Export (or press Command-E).
The Export dialog appears and the project name appears in the Save As field.
2 Type a new name in the Save As field or use the existing project name.
3 Browse to the location where you want to save the file using the pop-up menu and
buttons at the top of the dialog.
To show a file browser pane, click the arrow button to the right of the Save As field.
4 Choose the kind of export from the Export pop-up menu.
You can export a QuickTime movie, an image sequence, or the current frame as a still
image. For information about the different kinds of export files, see “
Choosing the
Export Type ” on page 1149.
5 Choose a preset from the Use pop-up menu.
For information about Use settings, see “ Using Export Presets ” on page 1149.
6 If necessary, click the Options button to set export options individually.
For information about setting export options, see “ Setting Export Options ” on
page 1154.

You can export video and audio, video only, or audio only.
8 Turn on the “Use play range” checkbox if you want to export only the marked play
range, rather than the entire project.
