Exporting With the Send To Templates
The Send To option lets you to send clips or sequences from your Avid editing system to other
applications. You choose a Send To template that uses options customized for the specific
workflow. In many instances you can choose to automatically launch your Avid editing
application to which you are sending your clip or sequence.
If a power failure or application error occurs during the export process, the entire file is unusable.
You need to repeat the export process. The only exception is a sequential file sequence, where all
frames up to the point of failure are usable.
To export by using a Send To template:
1. Select a clip or sequence in a bin.
2. Do one of the following:
t Select File > Send To > template.
t Right-click the clip or sequence in the bin, and select Send To > template.
If you are sending to Avid Pro Tools
®
, a template options dialog box opens. Otherwise, the
Send To dialog box opens.
3. (Option) If you are sending to Avid Pro Tools, select one of the template options in the
following table.
Consider consolidating the sequence before
OMFI export.
You cannot export OMFI files that are larger than 2 GB.
Consolidating the sequence to create smaller source clips saves
time and disk space. In addition to consolidating in advance, you
can also consolidate as part of the export. For more information,
see Using the Consolidate Command and Guidelines for
Exporting OMFI and AAF Files.
Consider breaking the sequence into smaller
sequences before OMFI or AAF export.
OMFI or AAF files with very complex sequences might fail
during import into some applications due to memory limitations.
You can also consider adding more physical memory.
Create a sequence from multiple clips to
export them as a single file.
You can select all the clips, Alt+drag (Windows) or Option+drag
(Macintosh) them into the Record monitor to create an instant
sequence, and then export the sequence.
