File-Based Delivery
Exporting digital files for DVD or the Web is one of the most common
types of output. Depending on where you are delivering the file and how
large it can be, the setup options will vary slightly, but the basic conversion
steps discussed in this section are useful for most digital formats.
Preparing a Sequence for File Output
Whether you are exporting all or part of a sequence, you can speed the
process by preparing the sequence in advance.
To ensure an efficient file-based export:

Make sure all media for the sequence is online. (You can double-check
this by selecting Clip Color > Offline from the Timeline Fast menu.)

If you want to archive the source sequence before making any altera-
tions, duplicate the sequence by pressing Ctrl+D (Windows) or
Command+D (Macintosh), place the duplicate in another bin, and pre-
pare the duplicate for export. The original sequence is unaltered.

Consider rendering all effects in advance. Although any unrendered
effects are rendered on export (except during an OMFI or AAF export),
rendering effects in advance saves time during the export process.
NOTE For more detailed
steps on recording an
insert, assemble, or
manual edit, see the Avid
Media Composer Editing
Guide > Generating
Output.
