Exporting as AVI
AVI is the abbreviation of Audio Video Interleave, which is the most common format for audio/video
data on the Windows system. When opened, an AVI file plays in a similar fashion to an animated GIF
file.
Canvas has the capability of saving certain Canvas files in AVI format. Canvas documents that contain
frames, animations or presentations, can be saved as Audio Video Interleave. Even a document with a
single frame can be saved in AVI format providing a default time for the single frame is set to 1
second.
When working with Animation documents, you set the timing via the Document Layout palette
("Setting options in the palette" on page 86). If you are creating a Presentation document, use the
Slide Show palette to control timing ( "Slide Show palette" on page 728).
To export as AVI:
1. Create your document in Canvas and choose File | Save As.
2. Select the AVI file format.
3. Click Save.
