• Exporting Sequences with Quick Export - an accelerated renderer that allows for fast exporting of sequences to .MOV formats.
• Exporting Sequences and Shots - the process of preparing a sequence or individual shots for export and paving the way for VFX work to come back into Hiero.
• Transcoding - converts one file format to another. You can transcode sequences, timeline selections, and clips from the bin view.
• Ad Hoc Exports - an umbrella covering exports that you might not perform on a per project basis, such as EDL, OTIO, or XML exports.
With the addition of Python bindings to perform the same functions, this infrastructure provides a massive amount of flexibility, whether your pipeline is GUI or command line orientated.
