Choose Audio and Video, Audio Only, or Video Only from the Include pop-up menu.

Important:

An audio track in a QuickTime movie file takes up disk space even if it is empty.

If your QuickTime movie doesn’t need an audio track, choose Video Only.

All audio that requires rendering is automatically rendered with a render quality of High,
regardless of the render quality setting. Even QuickTime movies that you output that
don’t have the Recompress All Frames checkbox selected will have the highest-quality
audio. For more information about how multichannel audio is exported, see

“Exporting

Audio for Mixing in Other Applications.”

Choose which markers you want to export from the Markers pop-up menu.

For more information about the different kinds of markers you can export, see

“Exporting

QuickTime Movies with Markers.”

Important:

Markers within sequence clips are never exported—only markers in the

sequence itself are exported.

11

To export a QuickTime movie with all video, audio, and rendered media in a self-contained
file, select the Make Movie Self-Contained checkbox.

Leave this checkbox unselected to export a reference movie, which is a small movie that
contains pointers to audio and render files located elsewhere. For more information, see

“Choosing the Type of QuickTime Movie to Export.”

12

To recompress every frame of your clip or sequence, select the Recompress All Frames
checkbox.

Note: This option is available only if the Make Movie Self-Contained checkbox is selected.

13

When you’re ready to export, click Save.

A dialog shows you the
progress of the export.

To cancel your export, press Esc or click Cancel.

µ

Follow the steps for exporting a sequence, but select a clip in the Browser or Viewer.

Note: When exporting a clip from the Browser or Viewer, there is no need to specify
settings in the Render Control tab of the Sequence Settings window (those settings apply
only to sequences and sequence clips). Also, markers are not included.
