exExporterInfoRec

Selector: exSelStartup and exSelShutdown (starting in CS6)

Describe the exporter’s capabilities by filling out this structure during exSelStartup.

For each filetype, populate exExporterInfoRec and return exportReturnIterateExporter.

exSelStartup will then be resent. Repeat the process until there are no more file formats to describe, then return exportReturn_IterateExporterDone.

The fileType indicates which format the exporter should currently work with in subsequent calls.

typedef struct {
  csSDK_uint32  unused;
  csSDK_uint32  fileType;

} exExporterInfoRec;

Member	Description
`fileType`	The file format four character code (e.g. ‘AVIV’ = Video for Windows, ‘MooV’ = QuickTime).
`fileTypeName`	The localized display name for the fileype.
`fileTypeDefaultExtension`	The default extension for the filetype. An exporter can support multiple extensions per filetype, by implementing `exSelQueryExportFileExtension`.
`classID`	Class identifier for the module, differentiates between exporters that support the same filetype and creates associations between different Media Abstraction Layer plugins.
`exportReqIndex`	If an exporter supports multiple filetypes, this index will be incremented by the host for each call, as the exporter is requested to describe its capabilities for each filetype.
	Initially zero, incremented by the host each time the exporter returns `exportReturn_IterateExporter`.
`wantsNoProgressBar`	If non-zero, the default exporter progress dialog will be turned off, allowing the exporter to display its own progress dialog.
	The exporter also will not get `exportReturn_Abort` errors from the host during callbacks - it must detect an abort on its own, and return `exportReturn_Abort` from `exSelExport` if the user aborts the export.
`hideInUI`	Set this to non-zero if this filetype should only be used for making preview files, and should not be visible as a general export choice.
`doesNotSupportAudioOnly`	Set this to non-zero for filetypes that do not support audio-only exports.
`canExportVideo`	Set this to non-zero if the exporter can output video.
`canExportAudio`	Set this to non-zero if the exporter can output audio.
`singleFrameOnly`	Set this to non-zero if the exporter makes single frames (used by still image exporters).
`maxAudiences`
`interfaceVersion`	Exporter API version that the plugin supports.
`isCacheable`	New in CS5. Set this non-zero to have Premiere Pro cache this exporter.
`canConformToMatchParams`	New in CC. Set this to non-zero if the exporter wants to support the Match Source button.
`canEmbedCaptions`	New in CC. Set this to non-zero if the exporter can embed Closed Captioning directly in the file.
`flags`	New in 13.0. Will be some combination of the following flag:
	- `kExInfoRecFlag_None`
	- `kExInfoRecFlag_VideoOnlyExportNotSupported` - exports only video and audio together
	- `kExInfoRecFlag_PostEncodePublishNotSupported` - exported result is a complex folder structure or otherwise unsuitable for enabling upload options
`canEmbedColorProfile`	New in 11.1. Set this to non-zero if the exporter can embed color profile into the resulting media file
`supportsColorManagement`	New in 13.0. Set this to non-zero if the exporter supports color management.
