Video Tracks
Video mixdown allows you to combine several tracks into a single new master clip. This is convenient for building multilayered effects, for consolidating media, and for export and exchange.
 |
|
When you mix down video tracks, you cannot separate them again to
work on the tracks individually. Use this function only during the last
stages of editing when you no longer need to make changes, or to make
a copy for previewing.
|
To perform a video mixdown:
| 1. | |
Render all effects that require rendering. For information about
rendering, see .
|
| 2. | |
Highlight the tracks you want to mix down.
|
 | |
Make sure the Record Track Monitor button in the Track Selector panel is
in the topmost track that you want to mix down. Video mixdown works from
the monitored track down, regardless of track selection.
|
| 3. | |
Mark an IN point and an OUT point around the area to mix down.
|
| 4. | |
Select Clip > Video Mixdown.
|
The Video Mixdown dialog box opens.
| 5. | |
(Option) Click the Target Bin pop-up menu, and select a different bin.
|
| 6. | |
Click the Target Drive pop-up menu, and select a target drive for
storing the new master clip.
|
A progress indicator appears, showing the progress of the video
mixdown. When the mixdown is completed, a new clip appears in the
bin along with the sequence, and a new media file is created on the
target drive.
