Burn a Blu-ray or AVCHD disc, or create a disk image Blu-ray 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,
see
Control playback quality in Final Cut Pro.
3. Do one of the following:
• Choose File > Share > Blu-ray / AVCHD.
• Click the Share button in the toolbar, then click Blu-ray / AVCHD.
Important: The Blu-ray / AVCHD destination doesn’t appear by default. To add it to
your set of destinations and to the Share menu, choose File > Share > Add Destination,
then double-click the Blu-ray / AVCHD destination. See Create share destinations in
Final Cut Pro and Intro to Destinations preferences in Final Cut Pro.
