Exporting as an AVI File (Windows Only)
To export as an Audio Video Interleave (AVI) file:
1.  Select the material you want to export in one of the following ways:
  To export specific tracks in a clip or sequence, enable those tracks in the Track Selector panel, and disable all others. Make sure Use Enabled Tracks is selected in the Export Settings dialog box. You can set this option before the export. See Customizing Export Settings.
  To export part of a clip or sequence, mark IN and OUT points to export the marked range from a bin or a monitor. If you mark an IN point and no OUT point, the system exports from the IN point to the end of the clip or sequence. Make sure Use Marks is selected in the Export Settings dialog box.
  To export the entire clip or sequence, deselect Use Enabled Tracks and Use Marks in the Export Settings dialog box, and make sure the topmost track is monitored.
2.  Select File > Export.
The Export As dialog box opens.
3.  Choose the Export settings by doing one of the following:
  If you created a setting in advance, click the Export pop-up menu, select the AVI setting, and go to step 11.
  If you want to review or edit a setting, go to step 4.
4.  Click the Options button.
The Export Settings dialog box opens.
5.  Click the Export As pop-up menu, and select AVI.
6.  Select AVI options from the Video Format tab. For information about options, see Export Settings: AVI (Windows Only).
7.  Select an AVI codec by clicking the Codec Options button.
The Video Compression dialog box opens.
8.  Select the compressor you want, and click Configure to further configure the codec. For information about options, see Export Settings: AVI Video Compression (Windows Only).
9.  Click OK to close the Video Compression dialog box and return to the Export Settings dialog box.
10.  Select AVI options from the Audio Format tab. For information about options, see Export Settings: AVI (Windows Only). The list of codecs varies, depending on your platform and the version of Windows installed.
11.  Click Save.
The file is exported and appears at the chosen destination.
  If a power failure or application error occurs during the export process, the entire file is unusable. You need to repeat the export process.
