*(Pro License Required)*

Tin Man supports exporting to various **Avid DNxHD** and **DNxHR** profiles for high-quality, industry-standard intermediate formats.

**Export Codec Options**

* **HQX** – Extra High Quality\
  ▸ 10-bit depth for DNxHD\
  ▸ 10-bit or 12-bit depth for DNxHR
* **HQ** – High Quality
* **SQ** – Standard Quality
* **LB** – Low Bitrate
* **444** – RGB 4:4:4\
  ▸ 10-bit depth for DNxHD\
  ▸ 10-bit or 12-bit depth for DNxHR
* **TR (Thin Raster)** *(DNxHD Only)*\
  Encodes to thin raster resolution (e.g., 1440x1080)
* **LT (Light)** *(DNxHD Only)*\
  Another thin raster format with reduced bitrate

***

**Use DNxHR**

Controls whether to use DNxHR encoding when possible:

* **Auto** – Uses DNxHD if compatible; falls back to DNxHR when needed
* **Always** – Forces encoding to DNxHR regardless of DNxHD compatibility

***

**DNxHR Bit Depth&#x20;*****(For HQX and 444 Profiles)***

* **Auto** – Matches the bit depth of the source file
* **12-bit** – Forces 12-bit encoding
* **10-bit** – Forces 10-bit encoding

***

**Additional Export Settings**

* **Preserve Alpha if Possible**\
  When enabled, includes an alpha channel in the output (only supported in **DNxHR 444**).
* **Export at Maximum Depth**\
  Enables export at the highest bit depth supported by the source file and selected codec profile.
