How to use the output tab

Target file
Compressor
State

Target file

Press "Put" to select name and location of the output movie.

Compressor

For mild compression select DV, JPEG or AIC. For completey uncompressed output check '2vuy'.
Export offers all the QuickTime export options (an intermediate file is created first).
If you want to compress an HD movie with AIC use Export, because direct compression results in a corrupt movie.

State

Summarily summarizes what the application is doing ;-)
Also useful for debugging :-(
