To be compatible with a variety of imaging standards, your Avid system accommodates many file types and formats. For import and export procedures, see "
Main Topics: Importing Files and
Main Topics: Exporting and Exchanging Material. These sections contain descriptions, specifications, and notes for importing and exporting specific file formats.
To ensure usability and high quality, the files in some formats require preparation before being imported to the Avid application. Consequently, these sections contain many more notes for import than for export. When you export a file, you select a file format from the Export Settings dialog box and select options appropriate to the format. For descriptions of the Export Settings dialog box options, see
Export Settings.
