Click "OK" to go back to the export dialog box, and click "SAVE" to export your footage into a Raylight .AVI file. Note that a Raylight .AVI file uses the same DVCPRO-HD codec as the original MXF or RayMaker .AVI, so no recompression or quality loss will occur to your footage (excepting, of course, segments with transitions or video effects that need to be rendered). Once you have a finished Raylight .AVI file, you can now use the P2Maker.exe utility to create a P2-compatible MXF file. Using Windows Explorer, locate the P2Maker.exe program icon and double-click it: The P2 Maker program window then appears. When the P2 Maker program window appears, choose Process->Options to bring up the P2 Maker Options dialog box. From this dialog box you can choose to export your file directly back to a P2 card (assuming a card is mounted to your computer). Or, you can export to a "virtual card" by choosing to write to the Raylight Folder. You can change which folder gets used by clicking on the Config Raylight" button. If you want to export directly to a P2 card, type in the Drive Letter of where your P2 card is mounted. If you don't know the drive letter, use Windows Explorer to identify which drive letter is associated with your P2 card. Then click "OK" to return back to the P2 Maker main window. 13
