Exporting a storyboard to another editor

You can convert a storyboard to a project that you can edit in a video editor.


  1. Click a storyboard in the Storyboards section of the left pane.

  2. Click the Export button at the top of the Catalyst Prepare window.

  3. Select the Export storyboard as project radio button.

  4. The Export project to box displays the path to the folder where the project will be exported. You can type a path in the box or click the Browse button to choose a folder.

  5. Type a name in the File name box to set the file name that will be used for your exported project file.

  6. Choose an export format from the Project format drop-down list:

    • Apple Final Cut Pro X (*.fcpxml)

    • Adobe Premiere (*.prproj)

    • Avid Media Composer (*.aaf)

    • Vegas Pro EDL (*.txt)

  7. Choose transcoding options:

    • If you want to link to the original clips in the original locations, clear the Transcode media check box.

    • If you want to transcode the storyboard's media to another format when exporting, select the Transcode media check box and use the Transcode Settings controls to choose transcoding options.

      For more information about the controls, please see "Transcoding clips".

  8. Click Export.

    Progress is displayed in the activity pane at the top of the Catalyst Prepare window. If you have multiple export jobs queued, a separate progress indicator is displayed for each job.

    An HTML report file is created in the same folder as the exported project with details about the export. Any warnings or errors will be displayed in the report.
