Exporting material for your DVD project

The first step to creating a DVD is to get some MPEG-2 video material onto your

A/V drive. You can use Adobe Premiere to either capture or export the desired

video to an MPEG-2 Elementary (.m2v) file that’s suitable for use with

DVDit! SE. Once you have some MPEG-2 video material, you can use

DVDit! SE to create your DVD.

°To export material for your DVD project:

1 Start Adobe Premiere.

2 Open the project from which you want to export material.

3 Drag the ends of the work area bar so that it extends over the length of the

area you want to export.

4 Choose File > Export Timeline > Matrox Realtime Export to Disk.

5 From the Range list, select Work Area.

¥Tip You can select Entire Project if you want to export your entire

Timeline, rather than the area selected with the work area bar.

6 From the Format list, select MPEG-2 IBP (.m2v).

7 If you want to export video with associated audio, select Uncompressed

(.wav)

from the Audio list.

8 Specify the drive and the folder where you want to store your .m2v file (and

.wav file, if applicable). This drive should be different from the drive you use

to store your project’s clips.You may want to create a folder on your export

A/V drive for your DVDit! SE exports.
