Pardon my ignorance, but what is drag & drop export?

Basically a batch export.
Set your Export settings to what you want, making sure they are the active settings. Hilite all clips/sequences you want to export in a bin, drag them to a folder on your desktop and they start exporting. The benefit to this was not needing to hit ‘enter’ after each file was exported, the way you did if you just right click on a bunch of clips/sequences in a bin and chose ‘export’.
Could this be a Mac/PC thing, Just recently switched from PC MCv5.03 where I’m pretty sure it worked to a Mac MCv5.03 and it didn’t work. However I did notice that I didn’t have to ‘enter’ after each sequence was done.

Maybe… I switch between Mac and PC quite often, But I’m almost sure I used it on Mac …almost 🙂

When you’re on PC try choosing a bunch of clips/sequences and instead of right click and export, pick export from the file menu. I think this solves the pressing enter you mentioned.

On PC you don’t need to hit enter, just highlight all your clips/sequences, right click and choose export
