Streamlined sharing and export
Sharing your finished work is easier and more flexible in Final Cut Pro 10.0.6. Destinations—
sets of preconfigured export settings—allow you to quickly publish a project or clip to a
sharing website, export it for viewing on iPad or iPhone, or burn it to a disc. Final Cut Pro
comes with a variety of destinations, and you can also modify destinations and create new
destinations.
The simplified and streamlined sharing workflow includes these enhancements:
• Simplified and consolidated menus that you can easily populate with customized
destinations
• Reusable destination bundles that allow you to share to multiple output formats and
locations at once
• Automatic sharing of project and clip metadata, with the ability to customize the
metadata that is shared
• Support for multiple accounts at video-sharing websites such as YouTube
• Faster sharing and export using the GPU and background processing
• Ability to share a selected range in a project in the timeline or in a clip in the browser

Unified import
Simplified and easier to use, the new unified Media Import window provides one place to
go for all your importing needs. Final Cut Pro 10.0.6 offers dedicated areas for connected
cameras and devices, both file-based and tape-based, as well as a new Favorites section,
where you can add frequently used folders for file import from your Mac or an external
storage device. Other new import features include list view to see multiple columns of
metadata, multiple range selections within individual clips from file-based cameras, and
complete archive-management tools.
For more information, see
Intro to importing media in Final Cut Pro.
Dual viewers
The event viewer is a separate video display that appears next to the main viewer so
you can compare shots to match action and color. With the event viewer and the viewer
open, you can display two clips at the same time: one from the browser and one from the
timeline, each with its own video scopes display.
For more information, see
Play media in the Final Cut Pro event viewer.
Native REDCODE RAW (R3D) support
Final Cut Pro 10.0.6 provides native support for REDCODE RAW (R3D) files. You can now
import RED files directly, make nondestructive RAW settings adjustments, and save those
adjustments as metadata, all within Final Cut Pro. This allows you to take advantage of the
full latitude and dynamic range contained in the REDCODE RAW source files.
