Exporting From Soundtrack Pro Using Compressor
Exporting from Soundtrack Pro using Compressor provides additional options,
including the ability to export AC-3 audio files. See “Why Make AC-3 Files?” on page 50
for information on the advantages of AC-3 format audio files in your DVD projects.
There are two common types of AC-3 files you will want to create with
Soundtrack Pro: stereo and 5.1 surround sound.
Stereo AC-3 files are usually the easiest to create, especially if the left and right
channels are already configured. In this case, you simply need to choose a Compressor
preset to use—the channel mapping is handled automatically.
Surround sound 5.1 audio files require you to map Soundtrack Pro physical output
channels to the surround sound channels. You must first configure your outputs to
generate proper audio on the appropriate physical channels.
Important: This requires Compressor and Soundtrack Pro to be installed on the
same computer.
To export from Soundtrack Pro using Compressor:
1 Choose File > Export > With Compressor.
2 Enter a name for the output file in the Save As field.
3 Select either Preserve Video or Encode Video.
 When you select Preserve Video, the video is not transcoded—it is simply copied to
the new file.
 When you select Encode Video, the video is transcoded using the selected preset.
