With the File format combo box select the file format of your audio
file(s) to be generated. For a list of the supported file formats see sec-
tion “Supported File Formats” on page A-9. To the right of the File for-
mat combo box you can find the button OPTIONS which provides,
depending on the selected format, further configurations for the files to
be generated.
From the Resolution combo box select the bit depth of the audio files.
The DVS software supports all common resolutions (bit depths).
Use the Render audio in combo box to determine the output format
of your files, i.e. whether they should be rendered to individual stereo
files or a single file containing multiple channels.
Audio that is available in the timeline can be re-timed (i.e. time
stretched or time compressed) between different frame rates (e.g.
23.976 Hz, 24 Hz and 25 Hz). For this select from the Audio auto
retiming combo box the appropriate option. When activated a retim-
ing will be performed automatically during finalizing depending on the
selected video format. However, please note that this feature provides
no pitch control and should therefore be used for slight timing changes
only.
With the check boxes of the area Channels you have to select audio
channels for the output. The stereo channel check boxes of this area are
directly related to the audio channel output settings of the timeline (see
section “How to Configure the Audio Output” on page 6-14): They
will render whatever audio track is set to the respective output chan-
nels:
Example:
The audio track 1 and 2 of the Edit Tool contain each an audio clip
with different contents (audio files 1 and 2). Both tracks are config-
ured to an output of channel 1 and 2. In the ’Finalizing’ window se-
lect the channels 1 and 2 for an audio file generation. This will result
in an audio file that contains the mixed contents of the audio files 1
and 2.
