Export Audio Options

The Audio Export drop down control allows you to choose what type of audio to export or to disable audio export.

The current Audio Export options are AAC, AC3, and PCM (Uncompressed)

AAC and AC3 audio is limited to MOV and MP4 file format exports and is limited to stereo only.
