Exporting a Book

If something seems off in the information on this page, stop what you are doing and do not Export it. You will need to Hand to Rachel for her to look at the file. An example of something wrong includes a very short run time. If everything looks good then continue to export.

Once you are finished reordering and renaming the tracks, and you have updated all the metadata, you can now export the book before you pass it to QA for Quality Assurance.

To get started:

Go to the main project page
Select Export the Project under What would you like to do?. It is the 4th option
This will take you to the Export Page

On the top of the Export the Project there are some basic stats about the file:

Size
Runtime
Encoding

On this page you can:

Compress the File
- If this option appears, you can compress the file so it is easier for the user to upload to their device.
Export the File
- You need to export every title before you pass to QA
Reset Export
- You only need to do this if you choose the wrong compression option. It only resets export, nothing else.

If you are asked to compress the quality of the title, go to Compress Quality

If you are not asked to compress the quality, go to Export the File

If you have made any revisions to the project, go to Re-export After Changes to Project

Sometimes the file can not be compressed to fit on a CD. If this is the case:

A phrase on the export page will read: This project is too large to fit on a single CD. Unfortunately, no audio presets are available to make it so. Before continuing, please explore external compression options that may reduce the number of CD's required.
Select Export as usual without compression. For more information go to Export
