Export Node

Use the Export node for one of two reasons.

• To export the final processed result directly to disk without saving the clip to the framestore. See Processing Batch Results.
• To export to disk a Gateway clip file along the processed result. See Creating Gateway Clip Files.

You can process both RGB-A clips and clips containing stereo tracks with an Export node.

With Export Format set to RGB-A, the Export node accepts one front input and one matte input. The front is output as the RGB result and the matte is output as the alpha result.

With Export Format set to Stereo, the Export node accepts a left eye input, a right eye input, and a matte input for each eye. The processing results in files for each of the right and left eye, identified by the polarity token defined in the Stereo Naming preferences. The matte is output as the alpha result.

In both RGB-A and Stereo exports, you must select an RGBA-supported format such as .sgi if you need to also export the matte.

You select the export format using the Export node's Export Format menu.
