5. To view or change the Export File destination settings, click Settings at the top of the
Share window.
The available settings vary based on which format you choose from the Format pop-
up menu. For detailed descriptions of each setting, see Export File and Apple Devices
destinations in Final Cut Pro.
For information about output file formats, see Export formats supported in Final Cut Pro.
Note: If you change the destination’s settings, the changes are saved as the default
settings for the destination.
6. To export roles as separate video, title, audio, or caption tracks in the output media file,
click Roles at the top of the Share window, then specify the roles to export.
See
Share roles as files with Final Cut Pro.
7. Click Next, choose a location for the exported files, then click Save.
You can monitor the progress of the transcode in the Background Tasks window, and you
can continue to work in Final Cut Pro while the file is transcoded.
When transcoding is complete, a notification appears. You can view and locate shared
projects in the Share inspector. See
View the status of shared items in Final Cut Pro.
Note: If you added chapter markers to your project, chapter marker thumbnails are
placed at the appropriate location when sharing to disc (DVD and Blu-ray disc) and MV4,
QuickTime, and MP4 formats (for playback using QuickTime Player and Apple devices). See
Add chapter markers in Final Cut Pro.
Export MXF files with Final Cut Pro
MXF is an industry-standard file format for video and audio. Like QuickTime files, MXF
files contain information about the media inside. This information, also called metadata,
can include frame rate, frame size, creation date, and custom data added by a camera
operator, an assistant, or an archivist.
When you export MXF files, you can use audio roles to configure industry-standard channel
layouts.
1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Select one or more projects or clips in the browser.
Note: You can’t mix projects and clips in a batch share. Your selection must contain
only projects or only clips. See
Batch sharing in Final Cut Pro.
• Select ranges in one or more clips in the browser.
See Set multiple ranges in the Final Cut Pro browser.
• Select a range in a project in the timeline.
Note: To share just a portion of a project, you must make a range selection. A clip
selection is not sufficient. You can use the I and O keys to set the range start and
end points.
