For audio file projects sent from Final Cut Pro or Motion and for reference movies, the
original source media file (whether video or audio) is not saved in the project by
default, but instead a reference to the media file is saved. You can save the source
media file in the project. Saving the source media file in the project allows you to move
the project to another computer or storage device and continue working, but can
significantly increase project size.
To collect the original source media in the project:
m
In the Save As dialog, select the Collect Source File checkbox.
You can save a project to any of the audio file formats listed in “
” on page 144, except MP3 and AAC.
To save a project as an audio file:
1
Choose File > Save.
2
In the Save dialog, type a name for the file and browse to the location where you want
to save it.
3
Choose the file type for the project from the File Type pop-up menu.
The available choices in the Save dialog change depending on whether you choose
Audio File Project or an audio file format as the file type.
4
Choose the bit depth for the project from the Bit Depth pop-up menu.
5
Choose the sample rate for the project from the Sample Rate pop-up menu.
6
Optionally, select the Dither checkbox to dither the file. Dithering is useful when saving
a project at a lower bit depth or sample rate. In general, you should dither a project
only when saving it as an audio file, and only when you have finished all bit depth or
sample rate conversions.
