Audio Only

This preset is specifically for rendering an audio-only media file from the Timeline. Video rendering is disabled, and this preset defaults to rendering the Main 1 bus as a single clip, rendering one track per channel using the MXF OP-Atom format set to the Linear PCM codec, at 16-bits. However, the QuickTime, MP4, and WAV formats are also available, and you can also render 24- or 32-bit output. Additionally, you have the option to render other Mains or Submixes, or to choose a specific Timeline Track to render. Finally, you can choose to render the current program as Individual Clips.
