You can also create a disk image (.img) file that you can copy to an external storage device.

You can send the disk image to a disc replication facility or burn it to DVD or Blu-ray disc

media at a later time using Disk Utility.

Markers are added to the file on the disc at 5-minute intervals, making it possible to use

the DVD or Blu-ray player’s remote to skip forward or backward 5 minutes each time you

press the Next Chapter or Previous Chapter button.

Note: If Compressor is installed on your computer, you can use the Send to Compressor

command to open the project in Compressor. See Send your projects or clips to

Burn an SD DVD or create an SD disk image file

1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:

• Select a project or a clip in the browser.

• Select a range in a project in the timeline or in a clip in the browser.

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.

2. If you’re sharing a project that is set to use proxy media for playback, open it in the

timeline, then click the View pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the viewer and

choose Optimized/Original.

This ensures the highest quality in the exported file. When you choose this setting,

Final Cut Pro uses optimized media to create the shared file. If optimized media doesn’t

exist, the original media is used. For more information about optimized and proxy media,
