Description
Use Marks

When this option is selected, the system uses current IN and OUT points in the selected clip or sequence to determine starting and ending frames for the export. To export the entire clip or sequence, deselect this option.
Use Enabled Tracks

When this option is selected, the system exports only the currently enabled tracks for a selected sequence or clip. To export all tracks in the sequence, deselect this option.
Video and Audio
Select this option if you want to export both the audio and the video.
Video Only
Select this option if you want to export only the video.
Audio Only
Select this option if you want to export only the audio. For example, use this option if you want to use or enhance audio in a third-party application or use the audio in a multimedia project.
Video Format
Codec Options
When you click this button, the Video Compression dialog box opens. For more information, see Export Settings (AVI Video Compression).

Width x Height
This option allows you to set the width and height of the clip. Click the Fast Menu button, and select from a list of standard dimensions.
Scale to Fit: This option sizes to fit the specified width and height.
Crop/Pad: Crop/Pad never scales or resizes frames. If necessary, the system adds black lines to the top and bottom to achieve the correct size.

Color Levels
This option allows you to set color to RGB or ITU-R 601.

FPS
This option sets the frame-per-second (fps) rate for AVI export.

File Field Order
These options allow you to choose the field that will be the upper field during export. For 24p or 25p projects, these options do not appear; all fields are automatically exported as progressive (still) frames.
Odd (Upper Field First): Select this option if you are in a PAL project. In forming the export frame, Fieldá1 becomes the upper field, that is, Fieldá1's lines become the odd-numbered lines in the frame (counted starting from 1). Fieldá2's lines become the even-numbered lines.
Even (Lower Field First): Select this option if you are in an NTSC project. In forming the export frame, Fieldá1 becomes the lower field, that is, Fieldá1's lines become the even-numbered lines in the frame. Fieldá2's lines become the odd-numbered lines.
Single Field: Select this option if you want the output file to consist of only Fieldá1. In this case, the single field of 243 lines for NTSC (288 lines for PAL) is resized to fit the frame as specified in the width and height selection.
Audio Format
Mono
Stereo
Exports audio to a single channel.
Exports audio to two channels.

Sample Rate
Select this option to select the sample rate.
  Project Rate: The native rate of the chosen audio media
(44.1 kHz or 48 kHz).
  22.050 kHz: Half the sample rate of 44.1-kHz media.
  11.025 kHz: One quarter the sample rate of 44.1-kHz media.

Sample Size
Select this option to select the sample size.
  16 bit: When this option is selected, the system exports a 16-bit audio sample size (currently the industry-standard bit rate for audio).
  8 bit: When this option is selected, the system exports an 8- bit audio sample size for use in third-party systems that do not support 16-bit. This option is also used to minimize the data throughput requirements (for example, to improve playback in multimedia projects).
