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

see

double-click the Email destination. See Create share destinations in Final Cut Pro and
Intro to Destinations preferences in Final Cut Pro.
