Exporting Video
After you’ve mixed your audio tracks the way you want them, you can export the
inserted video file together with your audio tracks to create a new video file.
When you export a video, any changes you’ve made to the Start, Trim-In, or Trim-
Out times determine how long your new exported video is compared to the original
video that you inserted into your SONAR project.

Trim-In time, and Trim-Out time are set the way you want them.

file to be.
