Creating a video file

When you're finished editing and the previews look good, it is time to do a final
render of your project. Choose a video format that is suitable for where the
rendered video file will be played or shared.
If you only want to render a portion of your project, click and drag your
mouse over the Preview range bar to create a preview range.
To create a video file:
1. Click File: Create - Video File to open the Create Video File dialog box.
2. Type a name for the file in the File name entry box.
3. Select the drive and folder where you want to save the video and specify the file
type you want to create, such as AVI, MPG, MP4, 3GP, or WMV.
4. Click Template, then choose a format template from the menu.
For instance, if you selected MPG as the file type in step 3, you can choose a
template that will encode the video file as DVD with Dolby Digital sound, HDV
transport stream, or as a regular DVD or VCD.
5. If there are no available templates or you cannot find a template in step 4 that
suits your needs, click the Options button to open the Video Save Options
dialog box to specify your own attributes for encoding the video file. (This can
be a complicated process. See
page 156 to learn more about these options.)
After you are done changing the attributes, click OK to close the Video Save
Options dialog box and return to the Create Video File dialog box.
6. Select Save to Production Library if you want to save the video file to the
Production Library's Media Library.
7. Click Save.
• Render your project with exactly the same attributes as your captured video.
The project should render very quickly and the quality will be the best you
can get. The most important attributes you should check are codec, frame
rate, and frame size. You can check these settings by right-clicking on a
selected video clip in your project and selecting Properties from the pop-up
menu.
