Compressor Settings
Use this destination to export a project or clip using settings from Compressor, the professional
transcoding application designed to work directly with Final Cut Pro.
Note: The Compressor Settings destination does not appear by default. To add it to the
Destinations list, see Create and modify share destinations on page 403.
Exporting a project with a Compressor setting provides many of the benets of Compressor
without actually opening your project in Compressor. You can use Compressor to create multiple
output les in one share operation, or create custom settings that modify your output le (for
example, to add a watermark to the video). If you have Compressor installed on your system, you
can use any of your Compressor settings with Final Cut Pro.
If you don’t have Compressor installed on your system and you receive a Compressor setting
from someone else, put the setting in this location so that Final Cut Pro and Compressor can
access it:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings/
You may need to create the Compressor and Settings folders using Finder.
Tip: In OS X Lion v10.7 and later, the Library folder within your home folder is hidden by default.
You can access it in the Finder by choosing Go > Go to Folder and entering ~/Library/ in the “Go
to the folder” eld. For more information, see OS X Help, available from the Help menu when the
Finder is active.
Export for HTTP Live Streaming
Use this destination to send audio and video to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using a
web server.
Note: The HTTP Live Streaming destination does not appear by default. To add it to the
Destinations list, see Create and modify share destinations on page 403.
Because HTTP live streaming dynamically adjusts movie playback quality to match
the available speed of wired or wireless networks, it’s a great way to deliver streaming
media to your iOS-based app or HTML5-based website. For detailed information about
implementing HTTP live streaming, see the Apple Developer HTTP Live Streaming website at
http://developer.apple.com/resources/http-streaming.
The HTTP Live Streaming destination includes the following setting:
•
Versions to export: Select the checkbox for each type of network connection you want to
support for streaming. You can export les for use with devices that use cellular, Wi-Fi, and
broadband data connections.
Bundle
You can group sets of destinations together in a bundle to create several types of output in a
single step. When you share a project or clip using the bundle, a le for each destination in the
bundle is output automatically. To learn how to create a bundle, see Create and modify share
destinations on page 403.
