Now you can export AAC audio with MOV files as well. Previously, only PCM audio was available for MOV exports.

There is an additional Encoding Quality control that offers a balance between quality and bit-rate precision versus encode speed. Exporting may be done with variable or constant bit-rate settings just like H.264. H.265 has benefits in overall codec efficiency and adds compatibility with devices that use these formats, such as iPhone, allowing those files to be directly imported into Pro Tools. Pro Tools | Ultimate can now import, play, and export H.265 video. The audio is the only thing that has changed and can be passed back with the original picture. The other is that the audio department makes no changes to the video content, so it’s the exact same quality and format as before. One is that the time required to process is much shorter. In the simplest terms, “same as source” means that rather than transcoding, the previous video frames are directly copied into a new file, where it is recombined with the bounced audio stems. Our goal is to extend same as source export support to other codecs in the future. The Bounce Mix window allows you to export source video to DNxHD/HR and Apple ProRes MOV files, as well as MXF wrapped versions of these codecs to MOV files. Pro Tools 2021.6 adds the following important functionality in the Bounce Mix window, which is available in the Pro Tools File Menu as well as by the shortcuts Command-Option-B (macOS) or Control-Alt-B (Win): And we are continuously working to exceed the previous file functionality and implement it in a way that is forward looking so that it can be utilized by both Pro Tools and Media Composer. As we have progressed, we have made detailed documentation and walkthrough videos to help explain the improvements and how to work with them. With Pro Tools 2021.6, we are continuing our efforts to return much of the import and export functionality after the depreciation of the 32-bit QuickTime components on macOS Catalina and later.
