Exporting QuickTime Movies From Soundtrack
If a Soundtrack project contains a QuickTime movie file, you can export the project to a
new QuickTime movie. Exporting to a QuickTime movie creates a copy of the original
movie file, with the project’s audio mixed into the movie’s audio track.
To export a Soundtrack project to a new QuickTime movie file:
m
Choose File > Export to QuickTime.
A QuickTime movie can be either self-contained (with all audio and video data saved in
the movie file) or reference (with the movie file containing only references to the media
files it uses). When you export a project to a QuickTime movie, by default the new
movie file is self-contained, even when the original movie file is a reference movie. You
can choose to keep a reference movie as a reference movie, but cannot change a
self-contained movie to a reference movie.
To keep a reference movie as a reference movie when exporting:
m
Choose File > Export to QuickTime, then deselect the “Make movie self-contained”
checkbox in the Export dialog.
