Exporting A Movie


Exporting A Movie

To export your project as a movie, do the following:

  • Click the Export icon on the toolbar or choose File > Export Movie… from the menubar.

  • The Save Panel lets you set export details, such as output movie size, background color and how to process non-audiovisual track.

  • Provide a filename and click Save.

What type of movie does MovieMerge+ create?

MovieMerge+ creates a movie containing one video track, one audio track and optionally all other non-audiovisual tracks from the movies contained in the project.

The video track is encoded using an H2.64 codec and is a composite of all video tracks from source material. Video tracks are scaled down to fit the selected output size. Video tracks that are smaller than the output size are centered. The audio track is encoded using the AAC codec and is a composite of all audio tracks from the source material.

The user has the option to transfer non-audiovisual tracks from the source material to the final output by clicking the appropriate checkbox on the Save Panel. These tracks are transferred without consolidation.

The user may also added an optional Chapter Track to the output, with each chapter marking the beginning of a video segment.

Monitoring export progress

To monitor export progress, click the Activity Monitor icon on the toolbar. From the Export Log window, you may cancel any active movie export. Once an export is complete, the output file can be shared by clicking the Sharing icon from the toolbar. Export operations that have completed or been cancelled may be removed by clicking the Clear icon on the toolbar.
