View background tasks in Final Cut Pro
Many Final Cut Pro tasks take place in the background:
• Importing
• Transcoding
• Analyzing and optimizing video and audio
• Rendering
• Sharing
• Transferring remote media
• Backing up libraries
Final Cut Pro manages background tasks automatically, so you don’t need to do anything to
start or pause them. If you want to see the progress of any of the background processes,
you can open the Background Tasks window, which shows the tasks being performed and
the percentage of completion.
Important:
If you actively use Final Cut Pro while background tasks are running, the
background tasks are paused. The tasks resume when you stop using Final Cut Pro.
View tasks that are running in the background
1. In Final Cut Pro, do one of the following:
• Choose Window > Background Tasks (or press Command-9).
• In the toolbar, click the Background Tasks button.
