Bouncing a Video Track with Windows Media Video to a WIndows Media Movie

You can bounce the main video track and a mono or stereo mixdown of your session to a new Windows Media movie.

QuickTime and Avid video cannot be bounced to Windows Media video, and vice versa.

Because all formats and codecs have not been tested, you should verify the Windows Media movie file bounced successfully.

To bounce video and audio in the video track to a Windows Media 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 stereo output or bus path.

5 Do one of the following:

To bounce the entire session, click Return to Zero in the Transport window to go to the beginning of the session.

– or – 

To bounce a portion of the session, enable Options > Link Timeline and Edit Selection, and make a selection in the Edit window or the Timeline.

6 Choose File > Bounce to > Windows Media Movie. The Bounce dialog appears.

7 Select your mix’s output or bus path from the Bounce Source selector.

8 Click Bounce.

9 In the Windows Media dialog, do the following:

In the Profile pop-up menu, select the profile matching the size and data rate of the exported video—the larger the resolution, the larger the resulting video file.

To include uncompressed audio in the video file that will be exported, select Lossless Audio Compression.

10 Select a destination for the new video file, enter a new name, and click Save.

Bouncing video may take quite a bit longer than real-time, depending on the format of the source video, the format of the bounced video, and processing speed.
