6. In the Settings pane, enter the requested information:
• Resolution: Choose a frame size.
• Compression: Choose “Better quality” to maximize the quality. Choose “Faster
encode” to speed up the encoding.
• Export captions: If you added captions to your project, you can choose a language
version to include with the video, either as embedded captions or as a separate
sidecar file. See
Intro to captions in Final Cut Pro.
• Burn in captions: If you added captions to your project, you can choose a language
version to burn in to the output media file.
Note: Burned-in captions are permanently visible in the output file and are not the
same as embedded captions.

8. Enter a name for the output media file, navigate to a location on your Mac or storage
device where you want to save the file, and click Save.
Your project is transcoded to a format suitable for YouTube and Facebook: a MOV file
with H.264 video and AAC audio.
9. Upload the file to YouTube or Facebook using the corresponding website or app. (You
must first set up an account with the video-sharing service you plan to use.)
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.
Create optical discs and disk images in
Final Cut Pro
You can burn a project, a clip, or a range selection to a standard-definition (SD) DVD or to
a Blu-ray-compatible disc.
There are two ways to create a Blu-ray-compatible disc:
• Use an external optical drive that supports burning Blu-ray discs.
• Use a standard DVD burner and standard red laser media to create an AVCHD disc with
high-definition (HD) video content and menus. You can play AVCHD discs in Blu-ray
players if they’re compatible with AVCHD discs.
