Export audio only in Motion

You can export your project’s audio using the Export Audio command. You might want to do this to create a single audio file that contains a mix of all the project’s audio tracks.

Note: When using Export Audio, Motion’s audio export is limited to 44.1 kHz.

Share your project’s audio by itself

  1. In Motion, do one of the following:

    • Choose File > Share > Export Audio.

    • On the right side of the toolbar, click Share, then choose Export Audio.

      Share button in the toolbar
  2. In the Info pane of the Export Audio window, view or modify project attributes, such as the title and description.

  3. In the Settings pane of the Export Audio window, choose your preferred export settings:

    Settings pane of Export Audio window
    • Format: The Audio Only export format is chosen by default.

    • Audio Format: The audio format is chosen by default based on the selected video codec. (To choose another audio format, you must choose Audio Only from the Format pop-up menu, which then only exports the project’s audio.)

    • Duration: Select whether to export the entire project or a play range set in the Timeline.

    • Action: Choose what you want to happen after the export is complete. See Export File destination in Motion.

      The default application depends on the selected Audio Format:

      • AAC and MP3 files open in Music.

      • AIFF, CAF, and WAVE files open in QuickTime.

      • AC3 files open in Compressor (or in the application set by the Finder as the default application for AC3 files). For more information on the Finder, see macOS Help (in the Finder, choose Help > macOS Help).

        You must have Compressor installed on your system for Open with Compressor to work.

      Note: If you change the destination’s settings, the changes are saved as the default settings for the destination. See Create and modify share destinations in Motion.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Enter a name and choose a save location for the exported file, then click Save.

You can monitor the progress of your export in the Background Task List, and you can continue to work in Motion while the file is rendered.

When exporting is complete, a notification appears. Click the notification to display the shared file in the Finder.
