Video Export dialog

SONAR can combine an inserted video file with the audio tracks you record in a project to form a new AVI, Windows Media Video, or QuickTime file. You can also save to an external FireWire device. Choosing the File > Export > Video command opens the Video Export dialog box, which offers the following options:

Save in. Choose the folder you want to store your new video file in.

File name. Fill in a name for your new file.

Save As Type. Choose Video for Windows (AVI), Windows Media Video, or QuickTime. If you have an external FireWire device connected, you can choose AVC Compliant Device, or whatever your device is named. See Exporting a project to a FireWire DV device for more information.

Video Export Settings:

Encoding Options button. Clicking this button opens an encoding options dialog box for the kind of file you chose in the Save As Type field.

Audio Mixdown Options button. Clicking this button opens the Audio Mixdown Options dialog box, which allows you to choose mono, stereo, or multichannel export; what sound card driver you’re using to export; and all the audio components from your project that you want to include in the exported mix.
