Baking Elements
After you adjust project elements to your taste, you might want to reuse them in another
project. You can export elements as rendered files to minimize their effect on playback
performance in another complex project. This is a process known as baking.
To bake selected elements for export
1 Select the layers in your project that you wish to bake.
2 Choose File > Export Selection.
3 Choose the options you prefer in the Export Selection dialog, then click Export.
Note: If multiple layers are selected for export, the upper section of the dialog does not
include a Save As field.
Exporting a Play Range
If you have defined a play range for your project, you can chose to limit the export to
that play range.
To export a play range
1 Mark an In and Out point in the project around the area you want to export.
2 Choose File > Export or File > Share, then enable the “Use play range” checkbox.
For more information about setting a play range, see Defining the Play Range .
