Select the Render loop region only check box if you want to save only the portion of the project that is contained within the loop region. Loop Playback
does not need to be selected for this option to work.
-
If the selected file type supports it, you can select the Save project markers with media file check box to include markers, regions, and time markers in the rendered media file. If the information cannot be saved to your media file, an .sfl file will be created (using the same base name as your media file).
-
If the selected file type supports it, you can select the Save sections as regions with media file check box to include sections in the rendered media file. If the information cannot be saved to your media file, an .sfl file will be created (using the same base name as your media file).
-
Select the Stretch video to fill output frame (do not letterbox) check box if you are saving to a format with a different aspect ratio than your source media settings. When this check box is cleared, black bars may appear at the top and bottom (letterboxing) or sides (pillarboxing) of the frame to preserve the aspect ratio.
-
Clear the Fast video resizing check box if you see unacceptable video artifacts in the rendered video (these artifacts are most obvious with MPEG and streaming formats). Turning this option off can correct the artifacts, but your rendering times will increase significantly.
-
Click the Save button. A dialog is displayed to show rendering progress.
-
When rendering is complete, click the Open button to play the file with its associated player, or click Open Folder to open the folder where you saved the file.
Perform the preceding procedure to choose the file type and location for rendering your files, and select the Save project as path reference in rendered file check box if you want to save the path to your ACID project in the rendered file. Saving the project path allows you to easily return to the source project if you use your rendered file in another project.
The project information in the rendered file is a reference to a project file only. If you modify the project file after rendering, the project data will no longer match the rendered file. To edit a project using a path reference, the project file and all media must be available on your computer.
Perform the preceding procedure to choose the file type and location for rendering your files, and select the Save each track as a separate file check box.
When you click the Save button, each audio track will be saved to a separate file.
All of the volume adjustments, panning, FX, and events are saved with the track. You can also use this feature to create tracks that you can use in multitrack recording software or in Macromedia Flash.
MIDI tracks must be routed to DLS or VSTi soft synths to be included in the rendered output.
