Export Movie

---

You can add movie exporting features and capability to your Comixware program by installing an optional SE module called Movie Exporter. Movie Exporter is a separate SE program (module) that gives you the ability to output proprietary Comixware movie to QuickTime format for broader publishing possibility. This optional module is NOT come with SE main program. You have to purchase a separate license for this add-on to work in Comixware. Check Comixware web site for module ordering information.

You would see the exporting interface (like the screen shot below) appeared ONLY after you had the optional Movie Exporter module installed. If you don't have it installed you won't see this interface. See Module Installation for more information.

Overview

Movie Exporter is built on the idea of extensibility, versatility and simplicity. While Comixware is a self-contained publishing system that provides everything people need for a complete interactive viewing experience, we recognize that it's in no way ubiquitous. There are needs for user to extend his/her work beyond Comixware environment for broader reception and possibilities. Movie Exporter is born precisely for such purpose, to bridge a path between Comixware and mainstream media. That means works created in Comixware can be easily converted to other formats and propagated on other platforms without limitation. Authoring once and publishing everywhere in any venue!

QuickTime - We choose QuickTime as Comixware's output format because of its creative friendliness and versatility. QuickTime supports the widest range of media formats and is the preferred platform for professional post-production tools and facilities. Being able to output user's Comixware creation in QuickTime guarantees the expendability and compatibility of his/her work for universal distribution and further production possibilities.

High Quality - To ensure the fullest potential of user's work in media publishing and movie production, Movie Exporter uses a pro grade renderer that is capable of producing movie with resolution up to 4092x4092 pixel. This is more than double the size of 1920x1080 HD standard. For audio export SE offers sample rate from 8000Hz to 64000Hz in stereo or mono format. Picture and sound tracks can be exported together or separately. Export range can also be easily defined by user.

Flash Centric - Movie Exporter also serves as an unique gateway for Flash to be used for high-end production purposes. Because of its ability to convert resolution-independent vector medium to high-resolution QuickTime, one can practically turn his Flash animation into feature quality footage by using Movie Exporter. To paraphrase Ratatouille's motto "ANYONE can cook": ANYONE can do feature!

Good Compression - While completely capable of preserving the original quality of the source materials (NONE compression), SE also offers user a couple of GOOD (instead of many indistinguishable) compressors that really matter: H.264 and MPEG-4.

Smart GUI - SE's co-relational task-oriented export UI leads user through the maze of media standards and codecs with minimum guess work. For example, our default output settings are carefully calibrated and balanced so that their results should be a no-brainer good for most of circumstances.

Snapshot - Movie Exporter also comes with a handy Snapshot feature that allows you to make a single frame copy of your scene by specification. This is no ordinary screen grabber because it actually tailor-made individual picture to your output specification. That means you can not only use Snapshot to extract a quick storyboard but also use it to output press resolution artwork, all from the same movie. Create once and publish everywhere!

YouTube Ready - While it is capable of non-restrictive pro quality Movie Exporter also gives user the agility to create YouTube kind of contents fast and of superior style. The Soundtrack Fader automatically gives your YouTube piece a structurally flawless ending, every time.
