Chapter 11 Tutorial 9: Sharing Your Projects 95
To export a project as a QuickTime movie:
m Choose Share > “Export Movie to Disk.”
The project is exported using the current movie compression settings. Movie
compression settings compress both the video and audio in the exported movie. You
can change the compression settings to suit how you want to use the exported movie.
Compression settings are stored as part of the GarageBand project until you change
them while the project is open.
To choose the video compression settings:
1 Choose GarageBand > Preferences, then click Export.
2 In the Export pane, choose the settings you want to use from the Movie Settings pop-
up menu.
To burn a movie’s audio track to a CD:
1 Insert a blank recordable CD in your computer’s optical drive.
2 Choose Share > “Burn Movie to CD.”
The Burn dialog appears.
3 To choose additional settings, click the triangle in the upper-right corner of the Burn
dialog.
4 When you are ready, click Burn.
The audio track of the movie is burned onto the CD.
Exporting Projects at the Optimum Loudness
You can have GarageBand automatically export projects at the optimum loudness; that
is, at the highest volume level possible without adding distortion. Setting a project to
the optimum volume level is called “auto-normalizing.”
To export projects at the optimum volume level:
1 Choose GarageBand > Preferences, and then click Advanced.
2 Select the Auto Normalize checkbox.
The Auto Normalize feature does not affect the volume level when you play the project
in GarageBand. It affects the volume level only when you export the project.
