Export can take some time, depending on the duration of the events selected and their resolution
(note that Export to an external drive is faster). A progress gauge is shown during the process.

NOTE: YOU CANNOT WORK ON A SESSION DURING EXPORT, SO YOU LIKELY WOULDN’T WANT
TO BEGIN THIS DURING OR JUST BEFORE A PRODUCTION.

Exporting does not reduce image quality. The file compression format is MPEG2, I-frames. The
naming convention for files includes convenient (In Point) timecode and camera references.

Hint: In rare cases when several events have identical In Points, the filenames could be
incremented, such as event_0:34:34:2(1).mpg, event_0:34:34:2(2).mpg, etc.

Exports use the following filename and folder arrangement:

> User-Selected-Folder-or-Drive/Session-Name/

SessionName.edl
SessionName_cam1_0.34.34.2.mpg
SessionName_cam2_0.34.34.2.mpg
SessionName_cam1_0:38:15:02.mpg
SessionName_cam3_0.39.11.26.mpg
Etc.
