Exporting as media files lets you export synced audio or video files that can be used in any editing application. This feature is especially useful if you use an editor that PluralEyes 4 does not directly support, such as Grass Valley EDIUS 7 and earlier, Final Cut Express, iMovie, Platinum Studio and Pinnacle Studio. These editors cannot import the XML files that are exported by PluralEyes. The Audio Files and Video Files options export content that is synced with the video content. It is available for most common video formats except for MXF and R3D. Note that when exporting MP3 audio, it will be exported as .WAV To access this feature, click the Export Timeline tab, then choose either Audio Files or Video Files in the drop-down panel with the Export Format selector.
Exporting files matches one camera track with one external audio track to generate new media files. However, this feature has some limitations.
Here are the steps:
If you want both new audio and video files exported you will have to export twice. Saving both exports will give you (1) a video file with the “good” audio replacing the “bad,” and (2) an audio-only file of “good” audio that is synced and trimmed to the length of the video.
This option exports video files with “good” audio. The "bad" audio from the original camera file is replaced with the "good" audio from an external audio device. The original video content is left intact, and the audio content in video clips is replaced without any loss in video quality. This option is useful if you don’t need the “bad” audio content that was recorded in your original video clips. You can archive your original video and audio files, and continue post-production work with only the new video files. Things to know about this option:
