Export Edited File to M4V or MP3 Requires Plug-In

Post by dayogaman » Sat Jun 14, 2014 1:59 am

Hi,

When I try to export to M4V or MP3 for iTunes use, I get a dialog that it's searching for a library to do it, but it cannot find it.

Can I download the library somewhere, or what is my workaround?

Thanks much, apologies if this is already addressed elsewhere.

Have a great weekend,
David

Two, actually, one for MP3 and one for M4A (Audacity will not export video).

There is a third way. You export as WAV and convert inside iTunes.

This is the Lame software for MP3:

This is the FFMpeg software for M4A:
