Export Node

Use the Export node for one of two reasons.

- To export the final processed result directly to disk without saving the clip to the framestore. See Processing Batch Results.
- To export to disk a Gateway clip file along the processed result. See Creating Gateway Clip Files.

The Export node accepts a front input and a matte input. The front is output as the RGB result and the matte is output as the alpha result. An RGBA-supported format such as .sgi must be selected for export. The Export node does not support the output of stereo clips.
