The Export tab offers various options for saving your video. All of
the components on the Storyboard/Timeline will be combined into
a single video file. (The Export section only appears once you
have components on the Storyboard/Timeline.) You choose how
and where the file is saved. The following save options are
available:
Hard Disk . Choose this option if you would like to save your file
to your hard drive. You can select the file type and modify the
various settings for that type. For example, if you choose the AVI
file type, you can modify the frame rate and size of the video.
Different formats offer different options. Click the Settings button
to see the available options for any given file type. You can even
keep any settings that you modify and save them as a new format
type. If you are unsure about what file format to use, a
description of each format appears after you select it.
DV . Choose this option if you would like to save your video to a
digital video device tape. Camcorder controls are available that let
you navigate to any point on the tape. Use these controls to set
the tape at the location where you would like your new video
saved. Once the tape is set, click the Save To Tape button to
being sending the movie from the Storyboard/Timeline to your
tape.
Email . Choose this option if you would like to save your video and
then send it directly to a friend or family member using an email
program. Supported email programs include Hotmail, Microsoft
Outlook, Mozilla, and Outlook Express. The available file types for
you to choose are WMV (Windows Media) and MOV (QuickTime).
Generally, choose WMV if you are sending a message to a
Windows user; choose MOV if you are sending a message to a
Macintosh user. You can set a few options such as frame rate and
size. When you're ready, choose your mail client, then click Send.
VHS . Choose this option to play your movie for recording onto a
VHS tape. A diagram appears, showing you how to connect your
computer to your VCR for recording. Simply follow the diagram,
then click Start to begin.
