How To Export As MP4 (.mp4)

[animationlife]

Hello Everyone.

Inside Audition, I select the Clip, and I go to File- Export- Multitrack Mixdown- Entire Session. But I don't see any MP4 on the List.

I can easily Export from Audition to Premiere, and Export It as H264 and It works. But I want to do It directly from Audition

Also, Is this a correct way to Export a single Clip ?

Thanks.

Not within Audition unfortunately. mp4 is a container not an audio format. It is mainly meant for video content which includes audio and can contain many different formats of video and audio. Hence Audition cannot use .mp4 as an audio exporting or saving format I'm afraid. You can only do it in a video environment. Apple do have a proprietry audio only format in .m4a but that is only available via iTunes and other Apple software.

Hi:

I'm a bit confused. I'm trying to export a 5.1 file to MP4 with AAC.

In File Save As, it's possible (on Mac at least) to select Apple Audio Toolbox (....,*.mp4,...), then select the encoding type (e.g, AAC) for the container, then save.

However, for me (Audition 13.0.3.60, on MacOS 10.13.6), i get an error: 

"Error creating file: <blah>.  The destination may be full or no longer available.  Error Code: "!dat"

I've confirmed that the destination is not full (file I'm trying to save is only 8MB, I have 25+GB free), and the directory has no write-permission issues - I can save a .wav version to that directory.

I'm getting exactly the same error - saving a 5.1 .wav as a AAC and it stops writing at about 50% and says:
The destination may be full or no longer available.  Error Code: "!dat"

The file is 1gb in size and there is over 400gb on that volume - I have restarted in case it was a scratch disc buffer issue - same problem.

It just refuses to covert/save a 5.1 aac?!?!
