Overview of the Batch Exporting Process

The Batch Export command lets you export multiple clips and sequences at one time.
This is particularly useful when you have a lot of clips or sequences to export at once,
or if you need to export the same sequence to multiple formats and settings. Items to
be exported are shown in the Export Queue window and organized into bins, each
with its own export settings. You can set up several bins with different settings so you
can export different types of files. You can also choose to export only the media
between clip In and Out points instead of the entire clip’s media file. For example, you
can set up a batch export to do the following:

 Export a sequence to several QuickTime movie files, each with different dimensions

and codec qualities.

 Export an image sequence.
 Export an audio-only media file.
