Exporting an AVI File
AVI is a Windows-compatible movie file format for digital video. This file type is no
longer officially supported by Microsoft, but it’s still frequently used. The AVI format is
similar to a QuickTime movie file, but it supports fewer track types and codecs. It is
useful mainly for delivery of movie files to Windows computers or the Internet.
To export an AVI file:
1 Select a clip or sequence in the Browser, or open a sequence in the Timeline.
2 Choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
3 Choose a location and enter a name for the file.
4 Choose AVI from the Format pop-up menu.
