This will be a first introduction, for one particular purpose for now. There is a logic to it. The process makes sense and is intuitive. There are useful purposes with the methodology. We will delve into Nodes again with Harmony effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you will need to go to the Node View. It\u2019s often bundled with other windows like Colour. If you can\u2019t find it, as it might have been closed by a previous user, you should reset the work area. To do so, go to the Main Menu &gt; Windows &gt; Workspace &gt; Workspace &gt; Default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on the Node View Window to locate the \u201cWrite\u201d node, in the lowest region of the cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Node View, select the Write node, and then click on the yellow button at the left-side of the node. This will open a Layer Properties Window.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Layer Properties, select and adjust in the following tabs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Image Sequence: \u201cSelect\u201d or \u201cdeselect\u201d the button, whether or not you wish to export\/render image sequences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image Folder &amp; Movie Folder: from here you can select the Choose Button to designate where outputs of where Images and\/or Movies will export to. By default, they will go to the \u201cframes\u201d folder in your Harmony project folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image and Movie Filename: Here you can add a given name for the files you plan to export.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start = the frame number from which the sequence will begin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leading Zeros = the amount of zeros\/placeholder digits in the numeric sequence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Image Format = The file format for image sequence. You should select PNG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colours = Colour + Alpha, to include a transparent background<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depth (bits \/ channel) = 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Movie: \u201cSelect\u201d or \u201cdeselect\u201d the button, whether or not you wish to export\/render a movie.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Movie Options: Click the Customize Button to select the compression settings. From the Movie Settings Window, choose the following:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Video:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Codec: Select one of the following:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Apple ProRes 4444 (Legacy), to include a transparent layer or alpha channel, for compositing purposes in After Effects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>H.264, for immediate playback purposes and a much smaller file size<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Audio:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cDeselect\u201d if there is not a sound file, \u201cSelect\u201d if there is.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Settings:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compressor: None<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rate: 48.000 kHz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Size: 16 bit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use: Stereo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press Close to complete the settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the Write option the settings can actually remain for several renders; that is, if you don\u2019t need to change anything. Consider them to be your own default settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To Export the files, go to Harmony\u2019s Main Menu and choose File &gt; Export &gt; Render Write Nodes. Once you select, a Render Write Nodes Window will open:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Range: You can choose either \u201cAll Frames,\u201d for example., the work area on the Timeline, or Selected Frames, where you can enter specifically \u201cFrom\u201d and \u201cTo\u201d particular frames.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave \u201cField Composite Options\u201d unchecked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press OK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cSelect\u201d Preview. This will open the Harmony Player after the render.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is another interesting option when using Premium to export a movie.
