choose to export composition only, or embed the video and audio, or both. For more

both. For more information, see “Guidelines for Exporting OMFI and AAF Files” on
page 1019.
AFE (Windows only) When this option is selected, your Avid editing application exports as AFE. This format
is compatible with systems such as Avid DS. For more information, see “Exporting
Projects and Bins Using AFE Files (Windows Only)” on page 1022.

type. 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.
Aspect Ratio: Defines an image size for the video you want to export. The available
aspect ratios depend on what your project type and device support. This lets you control
the display format without modifying the source file.

stream. The DV Stream format is often used for distribution on a CD-ROM or over the
Web. Use this option when exporting video that will be combined or processed with
other DV-formatted media. This option requires a video track.
