Bounce parameters

- [Instructor] We've worked with the dialogue, we worked with the sound effects, and we've worked with the music, and at long last, it's time to bounce our project. Let's pull up the bounce page, it's Command+B, and talk about what's on here. You can make more than one format at a time. PCM stands for pulse code modulation; that's an uncompressed audio file. In that PCM category, you have AIFs and Waves and core audio files, CAFs. My recommendation is make a Wave unless you know that your partner is editing on Premiere, or Avid, or some PC-based editing system. But if your project's going back into Final Cut, it obviously is not a PC-based editing system, so keep it AIF. You may have your own choices for that, but AIF is a good format for pulse code modulation for uncompressed audio. You can also make an MP3 as you're doing this. You can make these other formats, too. I generally make them one at a time rather than make the main mix and the MP3 at the same time, but it is a step saver…
