Unreadable Files dialog

This dialog box may appear when using the Clean Audio Folder command. This dialog box lists

any files on your system which have a Cakewalk file extension (.cwp, .cwt, .wrk, and .tpl), but cannot

be read by SONAR. These files may be corrupt or they may not be SONAR files at all, if for instance

you have another application on your system which saves files with the same extension.

Video Export dialog

SONAR can combine an inserted video file with the audio tracks you record in a project to form a

new AVI, Windows Media Video, or QuickTime file. You can also save to an external FireWire

device. Choosing the File > Export > Video command opens the Video Export dialog box, which

offers the following options:

• Save in. Choose the folder you want to store your new video file in.

• File name. Fill in a name for your new file.

• Save As Type. Choose Video for Windows (AVI), Windows Media Video, or QuickTime. If you

have an external FireWire device connected, you can choose AVC Compliant Device, or whatever

your device is named. See “Exporting a project to a FireWire DV device” on page 264 for more

information.

• Video Export Settings:

• Encoding Options button. Clicking this button opens an encoding options dialog box for

the kind of file you chose in the Save As Type field.

• Audio Mixdown Options button. Clicking this button opens the Audio Mixdown Options

dialog box, which allows you to choose mono, stereo, or multichannel export; what sound card

driver you’re using to export; and all the audio components from your project that you want to

include in the exported mix.

Important: If any of your projects appears in this dialog box, do not proceed to delete any audio

in the Clean Audio Folder dialog box without first restoring these projects from a backup source

such as a Bundle file (.cwb). If SONAR cannot read a project file, any audio associated with it

will be listed in the Clean Audio Folder dialog box.
