Exporting Multichannel QuickTime Files

The rules for audio grouping are the same when exporting a QuickTime movie as when
exporting individual AIFF files: stereo output pairs are exported as a single stereo
QuickTime audio track, and each mono output is exported as an individual mono
QuickTime audio track.

To export your sequence to a multichannel QuickTime movie file:

1

Select a sequence in the Browser or open a sequence in the Timeline.

2

Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.

3

In the Save dialog, choose a location and enter a name for the file.

4

Choose a sequence preset from the Setting pop-up menu.

If you want to set a particular audio sample rate or bit depth, you can also choose the
current settings of the selected sequence, or you can choose the Custom Settings option.

5

Choose Audio Only from the Include pop-up menu.

If you want to export a complete QuickTime movie that contains video as well as
multichannel audio, choose Audio and Video.

6

Select Make Movie Self-Contained.

The number of audio tracks created in the resulting QuickTime movie depends on two
areas in the Sequence Settings window. For details, see “
