The following explains points to be checked before exporting in a file format, and how to use the exporter to export in each file format.
This section describes the settings to confirm before export, and matters to know in advance when exporting a file with an exporter.
To export only one part of an edited video, make sure to specify the export range using [Set In] and [Set Out] on the Recorder.
To add a chapter, make sure that a sequence marker is set in a desired position.
Setting the In and Out Points on the Timeline
When exporting a file with an exporter, you can export using the same setting as in the project settings, or export with a format that differs from the project settings.
Exporting Files with an Exporter
Exporting to File in a Format that Differs from the Project Settings
The following file formats are available for export.
Some formats may not support codec.
Depending on the device specifications and compatibility, playback and output on the device may not be supported.

[Mode]
[CBR] is a fixed transfer mode. It encodes with a constant bitrate regardless of movement or image complexity. Enter a value for [Bitrate]. [CBR (2-pass)] performs encoding after an analysis for movement and image complexity. [VBR (quality based)] is a variable transfer mode of direct conversion. The allotted bitrate is varied according to movement and image complexity. Enter a value for [Quality]. [VBR (2-pass)] is a variable transfer mode. The allotted bitrate is varied after an analysis of movement and image complexity. Enter the average bitrate in [Bitrate], and maximum bitrate in [Max]. [Frame rate]
Check this item to change the frame rate (1-60 fps). To set to 29.97 fps, enter “2997”. [Picture size]
The image size can be set by selecting from the list. Checking [Square pixel] sets the image aspect ratio at 1:1. Check this if the video is made vertically long or horizontally long by the playback device. [Quality setting]

Exporting Files with an Exporter
To export as Windows Media Audio, click [Windows Media] in the category tree.
If the [Dolby Digital (AC-3)] exporter has been selected, select a bitrate from the [Format] list.
If the [WindowsMediaAudio] exporter has been selected, select the transfer mode. If [CBR] (fixed transfer mode) has been selected, select a bitrate from the [Bitrate] list. If [VBR (quality based)] (variable transfer mode) has been selected, select a bitrate from the [Quality] list.
Projects can be exported as Dolby Digital Professional or Dolby Digital Plus format files.
An optional license is required to operate on EDIUS Elite/Pro.
On EDIUS where an optional license is added, [Dolby Digital Professional (AC-3)] exporter can be used instead of [Dolby Digital (AC-3)] exporter. As Dolby Digital Professional (AC-3) is compatible with Dolby Digital (AC-3), saved presets can be used as they are.

Output channels are assigned to the front left (L), front right (R), front center (C), LFE, rear left (Ls), and rear right (Rs), in the order of the smallest channel number. (Channels that are not used will be skipped.) When the single rear (S) is to be used, the rear left (Ls) is assigned.
Output channel can be set in the channel map of the project setting or sequence setting.
Example : When [Audio Coding Mode] in the [Dolby Setting] dialog box is set to [2/0]
Audio set as Ch1 in the sequence settings is encoded as L, and audio set as Ch2 is encoded as R.

*[Yes] indicates that [LFE Channel] in the [Dolby Setting] dialog box is checked.
[Audio Coding Mode] |
Specify the audio channel (front left (L), front center (C), front right (R), single rear (S) rear left (Ls), rear right (Rs)). Select an option from [1/0] (C only, monaural), [2/0] (L/R, stereo), [2/1] (L/R/S), [2/2] (L/R/Ls/Rs), [3/0] (L/C/R), [3/1] (L/C/R/S), [3/2] (L/C/R/Ls/Rs). The items where the number of channels exceeds the audio channels in the project setting cannot be selected. |
[LFE Channel] |
Check this item to export including LFE channel. When [Audio Coding Mode] is set to [1/0] or [2/0], it cannot be selected. |
[Dolby Surround Mode]/[Dolby Surround Mode EX]* |
Set Dolby surround or Dolby Digital surround EX. When [Audio Coding Mode] is set to [1/0] or [2/1], it cannot be selected. |
[Stereo Downmix Preference] |
Can be set when [Audio Coding Mode] is set to [3/0], [3/1], or [3/2]. [Not indicated]
Dolby surround mode is not specified. [Lt, Rt]
Downmix to audio compatible with Dolby surround. [Lo, Ro]
Downmix to audio compatible with stereo or monaural playback. [Pro Logic II]
Downmix in the Dolby Digital Pro Logic II format. For Dolby Digital Professional, it cannot be set. |
[Center Mix Level] |
Can be set when [Audio Coding Mode] is set to [3/0], [3/1], or [3/2]. Select a value to downmix the center channel when the playback device does not have the center channel and stereo playback is to be performed. Selecting [-INF dB] deletes the center channel. |
[Surround Mix Level] |
Can be set when [Audio Coding Mode] is set to [2/1], [2/2], [3/1], or [3/2]. Select a value to downmix the surround channel when the playback device does not have the surround channel and stereo playback is to be performed. Selecting [-INF dB] deletes the surround channel. |
[Peak mixing level] |
Specify the peak sound pressure level (SPL) in the environment where the final mixing has been performed (such as a studio or dubbing stage). Select from [111 dB] to [80 dB]. |
[Dialog Normalization] |
Specify the average audio level of the bitstream. Specifying this value enables playback of multiple audio with the same level on the playback device. Select from [-31 dB] to [-1 dB]. The difference between the selected value and 31 dB is the attenuation when the audio is played back on a playback device. Select the audio level [-31 dB] from the edited file. Example : For audio of average - 6 dB Set [-6 dB]. The attenuation will be 31 dB – 6 dB = 25 dB. Example : For audio of average - 12 dB Set [-12 dB]. The attenuation will be 31 dB – 12 dB = 19 dB. |
[Bitstream Mode] |
Set the audio service included in the bitstream. |
[Room type] |
Specify the information on the environment where the final mixing has been performed (such as a studio or dubbing stage). |
[Dynamic range control profile] |
Specify the dynamic range compression settings. To use [Dynamic range control profile], configure [Dialog Normalization] properly. |
[A/D converter type] |
Specify the digital conversion process. |
[LFE lowpass filter] |
Check this item to enable the low-pass filter of the LFE channel and to filter audio of 120 Hz or higher. |
[90-degree phase shift] |
Check this item to output in Dolby surround compatible audio when downmix playback of multi-channel audio is performed on a 2-channel decoder. |
[3 db attenuation] |
Check this item to decrease the surround channel by 3 dB when home theater equipment compatible with multi-channel is used. |
[Copyright Flag] |
Check this item to specify that the output file contains copyright-protected contents. |
[Original Flag] |
Check this item to specify that the output file is not a copy but an original file. |
* If [Audio Coding Mode] is [2/0], [Dolby Surround Mode] is set. If [Audio Coding Mode] is [2/2], [3/0], [3/1], or [3/2], [Dolby Surround Mode EX] is set.
You can export in MPEG4 format for playback as a QuickTime movie or in 3GP format for playback on a mobile phone.

[GOP Structure]
For MPEG, a certain number of frames is considered as a group, and operations such as compression/enlargement and cut editing are performed on a GOP basis. A GOP comprises “I frame”, “P frame” and “B frame”. The I frame allows images to be reproduced independently, the P frame is for recording and reproducing only the differences with the preceding image, and the B frame reproduces images from the differences in the preceding and following images. Select I, P and B frame patterns of the GOP from the list. Normally, select [IBBP]. [I-Frame Only] is comprised of only I-pictures. Editing is made easier, but the amount of data increases in size.
