Windows Media (VC-1 AP) Output
(Windows Vista Only)
Pro Tools lets you output Windows Media (VC-1
AP) video to NTSC or PAL monitors via any de-
vice that is compatible with standard Direct-
Show output.
Bouncing the Video Track to a
QuickTime Movie
When you have finished your final mix and syn-
chronized your audio events to the movie, you
can bounce the main video track (QuickTime or
Avid video) and a mono or stereo mixdown of
your session to a new QuickTime movie.
You can choose from a variety of standard
QuickTime codecs, which are fully compatible
with other QuickTime applications.
To bounce video and audio in the video track to a
QuickTime movie:
1
Finalize your mix.
2
Make sure the video track you want to bounce
is currently the main video track. (The track’s
Video Online button must be highlighted blue.)
3
Make sure that all of the audio tracks you want
to include in the bounce are audible (not muted
or inactive).
4
Assign the output of each of the tracks you
want to include in your bounce to the same ste-
reo output or bus path.
