Exporting a Clip as a New Audio
File
You can export clips as audio files with the
Export Clips as Files command. Use this
command if you intend to use a clip in other ses-
sions (or other audio applications) without using
its parent source file.
This command also provides a way to convert clips
to a different audio format, sample rate, or bit
depth.
To export clips as new audio files:
1 In the Clip List, select the clips you want to ex-
port.
2 From the Clip List menu, choose Export Clips
as Files
.
3 In the Export Selected dialog, set the File Type,
Format, Bit Depth, and Sample Rate. In addi-
tion, specify the
Conversion Quality, and choose
the
Destination Directory.
When you export clips to a lower bit depth, Dither
(with or without Noise Shaping) is applied as
shown in the following table.
The Dither used for any conversion is the Avid
Dither plug-in (with or without Noise Shaping en-
abled.
Warped clips (Elastic Audio) will be exported
unwarped at their original duration.
