•
Do Nothing: The movie is not opened after the export is completed.
•
Open with QuickTime Player: The movie opens in QuickTime Player.
•
Open with Compressor: The movie opens in Compressor (if installed on your system).

Export audio only
You can export only your project’s audio using the Export Audio command. You might want to
do this to create a single audio file that contains a mix of all the project’s audio tracks.
Export your project’s audio by itself
1 Choose Share > Export Audio.
2 Choose an audio format from the Export pop-up menu.
3 Select the “Open with…” checkbox to have the exported movie open in its default application.
The default application depends on the audio format you chose in step 2:
•
AAC and MP3 files open in iTunes.
•
AIFF, CAF, and WAVE files open in QuickTime.
•
AC3 files open in Compressor (or in the application set by the Finder as the default application
for AC3 files). For more information on the Finder, see OS X Help (in the Finder, choose Help >
Help Center).
