Wow, sorry, didn't realize this was such a sore issue. Especially |
| 24 |
considering we've already discussed several command line programs in |
| 25 |
this thread. |

To export: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
1. press the red circular "export video" button (or go to File => |
| 30 |
Export Project => Export Video); |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
2a. [optional] change the name of the video in the export window that |
| 33 |
pops up; |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
2b. press the "export video" button at the bottom of the window. Here, |
| 36 |
for me, the defaults work fine. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I did it three times in less than a minute, double checking the accuracy |
| 39 |
for this post. So, not a huge inconvenience. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Of course, if the defaults do NOT work for you, then you do not want |
| 42 |
something "dead easy", you want something that will read your mind and |
| 43 |
do what you want, somehow, automagically. |
