depending on the encoder used, video rendering may occur in more than one pass. Live will
display a progress bar that will indicate the status of the process.
Unless you’ve specified a special window size or aspect ratio in the encoder settings, the ren-
dered video file will play back exactly as it appeared during real time playback in Live. The
video file will also contain the rendered audio.
For more information about working with video in Live, see the chapter on video (page 279).
5.3 MIDI Files
A MIDI file contains commands that prompt MIDI compatible synthesizers or instruments, such
as Live’s Simpler, to create specific musical output. MIDI files are exported by hardware and
software MIDI sequencers. Importing MIDI files into Live works differently than with samples:
MIDI file data is incorporated into the Live Set, and the resulting MIDI clips lose all reference to
the original file. MIDI files appear with a special icon in the browser.

5.3.1 Exporting MIDI Files
Live MIDI clips can be exported as Standard MIDI files. To export a MIDI clip, use the File
menu’s Export MIDI Clip command. This command will open a file-save dialog, allowing you to
choose the location for your new MIDI file.
Exporting a MIDI file is different from saving the clip as a Live Clip.
