Send your projects or clips to Compressor
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.
2. Choose File > Send to Compressor.
Note: The Send to Compressor command is dimmed if Compressor is not installed on
the same computer as Final Cut Pro.
If your project contains captions, you’re asked to choose a language version (subrole).
Compressor opens with a new batch that contains one or more jobs corresponding to
the items you selected in step 1.
3. Configure the job by clicking Add Outputs and following the instructions, then click
Start Batch.
Note: If you want to add or replace caption language subroles in a Compressor batch, you
can export caption files using the File menu and then add them to the job in Compressor.
Send an iTunes Store package to Compressor
If Compressor is installed on the same Mac, you can send all the video, audio, and caption
roles in your current Final Cut Pro project to Compressor as an iTunes Store package.
For comprehensive information on iTunes Store packages, see the Compressor User Guide
and Create an iTunes Store Package with Compressor.
1. In Final Cut Pro, select a project or clip in the browser, or open a project in the timeline.
2. Choose File > Send iTMS Package to Compressor.
If your project contains more than one CEA-608 language, a pop-up menu appears
allowing you to choose the CEA-608 language you want to send to Compressor. (You
can send only one CEA-608 file to Compressor.)
If your project contains iTT captions, a list of iTT language subroles in your project
appears. Select one of the following settings for each iTT language subrole in the list:
• Translation (Full): Outputs a full translation of all words spoken in the film using the
language assigned to that subrole. During playback, viewers can turn these subtitles
on or off.
• Forced: Use when a person in the video speaks a language different from the main
language of the video—for example, for a French-speaker in an otherwise English-
language film. Forced subtitles can’t be turned off because they’re necessary to
understand the content of the video.
