Export overview

The export writes a timeline file that you open in your editor. A separate file for each editor, because they expect different things.

The Export menu: Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Matching timecode, Split channels to mono, Something went wrong
The Export menu. Three editors, two options, the problem report.

What is in the file

The shape is the same everywhere: a track per camera, its sound next to it, the recorder below. Along with the layout, everything you did on the timeline travels into the file:

  • removed clips do not get into the file;
  • the track order you set by dragging;
  • the state of the Unplaced clips in shooting order switch: at the end, or by the logic of the shoot, exactly as on screen;
  • the Matching timecode and Split channels to mono checkboxes.

Unsynced material travels too, to the end of the sequence, so that no file gets lost. Your files on disk are not changed.

File names

The first export into a folder gets a name without a number, the next ones _1, _2 and so on. The sequence inside the file is named like the file, so two exports cannot be confused. The folder of the last export is remembered.
