Exporting Image Files

You can export a clip or a single frame a clip library to the filesystem or a storage device. After you have exported a clip, you can use it on other platforms (for example, Macintosh or Windows^®).

When you export a clip to the filesystem, each frame in the clip is saved as a separate image file. The images are assigned sequential numbers that are appended to the filename.

The procedures for exporting image files from the clip library are presented here.

To export an image file:

1. Open the clip library containing the clip that you want to export.
2. Select the clip.
3. Click Export Image.

   The Export Image menu appears.

4. In the file browser, browse to the directory where you want to export the clip.
5. From the File Format box, select the export file format.

   
   

6. Optional: Change the default file extension.
7. To change the name of the exported image file, enter a name in the Name field.

   
   

   NoteTo avoid filename compatibility issues upon export, underscores will be substituted in your filename in place of any of the following characters: ` # ~ @ $ % ^ & * ( ) [ ] { } < > \ | / ! ? , ; : ' "
8. In the Frame/Clip box, specify whether you are exporting a single frame or a clip.
9. Adjust any other parameters for file numbering, compression settings, resizing options, or to use a predefined LUT. See Export Options Group, Quality Group, or Resizing Group.
10. To generate thumbnail proxies for the file browser, select an option from the Proxy Generation box. See Proxies Group.

    
    

11. Click Export.

    The files are generated and saved in the specified location.

    When the export is finished, you are returned to the clip library.
