Display Aspect
Ratio
Defines an image size for the video you want to export: Native, 4:3, or 16:9. This lets you
control the display format without modifying the source file.
This option creates metadata that is stored with the QuickTime movie. Some applications,
such as the QuickTime Player, can interpret this metadata and scale the image at display
time.
This option is useful for QuickTime reference movies because you do not modify the source
files of referenced movies. For example, you can create two different QuickTime reference
movies with different display aspect ratios that use the same referenced source files.
The menu selections depend on how you open the Export Settings dialog box and whether
you have done a prior export.
Mixdown Audio
Tracks
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application mixes the audio tracks in the
composition to stereo files that it creates at the same location as the movie. When this option
is deselected, the Quick Time Reference movie references the original audio media. This
option is selected automatically if you select Digital Mastering Defaults.
If you select this option, you can also select an audio format, a sample rate, and a bit depth.
Audio Format Defines the audio format. Select the format that is supported by the application into which
you will be importing the QuickTime reference movie.
• WAVE: Compatible with Windows applications.
• AIFF-C: Compatible with many third-party applications, including Pro Tools.
Select AIFF-C for all audio media files you plan to transfer directly to a Pro Tools or an
AudioVision
®
system for sweetening.
Sample Rate Defines the audio sample rate for the export, either Project Rate, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48
kHz.
You can use this option if your sequence has a mix of sample rates and you need to create a
single sample rate. (You set the project rate in the Audio Project Settings dialog box. For
more information, see “Audio Project Settings for Capture” on page 198.) You can also use
this option to change the sample rate if the application to which you are exporting does not
support the current sample rate.
Bit Depth Defines the audio bit depth for the export, either 16 bit or 24 bit.
Use Network
Media References
When this option is selected, the exported movie uses the machine and drive share name of
the media drive in the QuickTime reference movie instead of a drive letter. Select this option
when the media files referenced by the movie are accessed remotely over the network. If the
media files are stored on the same drive as the QuickTime reference movie, you do not need
to select this option. When this option is deselected, you cannot select Add Shares for Media
Drives.
