Chapter 3.2h: Exporting Video

1 Save a Movie File

Once your video is finalized, use File > Save Movie File (Ctrl + P).

Select My computer, and then click Next.

Choose a name and a destination, and then click Next.

2 Choose Video Export Quality

First, click the Show more choices link.

For sharing on the internet, we recommend exporting as Video for broadband (512 Kbps).

For a reasonably high-quality copy that will play back nicely on your computer, choose Best quality for playback on my computer.

If you want a full-quality version, you can choose the DV-AVI setting (the file may take a lot of storage space).

Depending on the speed of your computer and length of your video, this process could take a while. Once it's finished, your finalized movie file will be saved to wherever you specified in step 1.
