Exporting an Audio File
You can export an audio-only QuickTime movie. When you export audio only, the exported
movie includes all audio tracks in your project that are turned on and not muted.
To export an audio file
1 Choose File > Export.
2 In the Export dialog, type a name for the exported file, then browse to the location where
you want to save the file.
3 Choose QuickTime Movie from the Export pop-up menu.
4 Choose an export preset from the Use pop-up menu, or click the Options button to view
and select export options.
5 Choose Audio Only from the Include pop-up menu to export audio only, or choose Video
and Audio to export a movie with both video and audio.
6 If you want to export only the marked play range instead of the entire project, select the
“Use play range” checkbox.
7 Click Export.
Your exported file is saved to the specified location.
After you export audio as a QuickTime movie, you can convert the QuickTime movie file
to another format using QuickTime Pro, Compressor, or another audio application.
There are no audio-only export presets. However, you can use any QuickTime movie
export preset and edit the audio export options. For more information on working with
audio files, see
Working with Audio .
Using Export Presets
Export presets let you quickly render your project using predefined groups of export
settings. In many cases, using an export preset can simplify your workflow. Motion provides
dozens of built-in presets that accommodate most common workflows.
You can edit the existing export presets, duplicate an export preset to use as a template
for creating a custom preset, or create a new export preset with the settings you choose.
Choosing an Export Preset
Motion includes export presets for many typical work situations. There are presets for
QuickTime movie, image sequence, and current frame export.
