Exporting a Clip as a New MXF
File
You can export clips as MXF audio files with the
Export Selected As Files command. Use this com-
mand if you intend to use a clip in other sessions or
other audio applications without using its parent
source file.
This command also provides a way to convert clips
to a different sample rate or bit depth.
To export clips as new MXF files:
1 In the Clips List, select the clips you want to ex-
port.
2 From the Audio Clips List pop-up menu, choose
Export Selected As Files
.
3 In the Export Selected dialog, select the
Enforce Avid Compatibility option.
4 Select MXF from the Audio Format pop-up
menu.
5 Set the bit resolution and sample rate. In addi-
tion, specify the Conversion Quality and Desti-
nation Directory.
6 Click OK.
