To export a master mix using Compressor from within Soundtrack Pro:
1
Choose File > Export (or press Command-E).
The Export dialog appears.
2
Choose Master Mix from the Exported Items pop-up menu.
Note: You can also use an export preset to export a master mix. For more information
about using Soundtrack Pro export presets and the Preset pop-up menu, see “
3
Choose Using Compressor from the File Type pop-up menu.
The bottom portion of the Export dialog displays the Compressor export options.
Since Soundtrack Pro can tap the power of Compressor as a background process,
many of these export options are identical to the corresponding options in the
Compressor application.

Do one of the following:
 To export the video in its original format, select Preserve Video, then choose an
export preset from the adjacent preset pop-up menu. In this option, the video is
copied unchanged to the exported file.
 To export the video in a different format, select Encode Video, then choose an export
preset from the adjacent preset pop-up menu. Encoding the video transcodes it to
the new export format. Transcoding the video can take longer than copying and can
result in a loss of quality. In most cases, when the video format of the exported file is
the same as the source video, you should preserve the video when exporting. If the
video format of the exported file is different than the source video, you should
encode the video when exporting.
