Understanding Export
There are several reasons why you might want to export video, audio, or both from your Avid system:
  You can export files to be viewed as an AVI or QuickTime movie.
  You can export files in RealMedia, WindowsáMedia, and DV Stream formats.
  You can export audio files for audio sweetening in a digital audio workstation (DAW), such as a ProáTools system.
  You can export video files for touching up or for creating special effects in third-party applications or other Avid applications.
  You can use the export process to convert audio media files from one supported audio format to another. Your Avid system supports the AIFF-C, SD2 (Macintosh only), and WAVE formats.
  If you plan to transfer the exported files to another Avid system or third- party application, see the appropriate section in this chapter.
