Sharing for PC playback



    Share a movie for playback on a personal computer

    The video you edit in the Timeline or Sceneline is not available as an independent video file until you export, or share, it to a video format. After export, you can play it back on your computer, in other media player or editing programs, and move it to other computers.

    Sharing a movie for PC playback generally creates files with data rates and file sizes that exceed the limits for successful Internet, VCD, SVCD, DVD, or handheld device playback. The MPEG H.264 presets and MPEG MPEG2 presets are suitable for AVCHD-quality export.

    1. Click Share in the Tasks panel, and then click the Personal Computer button .
    2. Choose a format from the list at the top of the PC view. Scroll through the list to see all options.
    3. Specify a preset, filename, and location for saving the file.
    4. (Optional) Click Advanced and specify options as desired.

      For information on options, see Common settings for Sharing.

    Note: You can also export your project for hard disk playback by choosing a File > Export command.

    Export only audio

    When you export only the audio from your movie using the Share workspace, you can use the file format of your choice.

    1. Click Share in the Tasks panel, and then click Personal Computer  or Mobile Phones And Players .
    2. Choose a format from the list at the top of the panel. Scroll through the list to see all options.
    3. Specify a preset, filename, and location for saving the file.
    4. Click Advanced and deselect Export Video.
