Note: The number of audio files exported depends on the setting of output channel pop-up
menu in the Master track area at the bottom of the Audio list. If the menu is set to stereo, a
single stereo file is output. If it is set to 5.2, six separate audio files are output, corresponding to
each surround track. For more information, see

Export an image sequence

You can export your project’s visuals as an image sequence—a set of sequentially numbered
still-image files that are compatible with many professional finishing, compositing, and grading
applications—using the Export Image Sequence command.

to export the sequence or the portion between the In and Out points.
