Still-image destinations in Final Cut Pro
Use these destinations to save a still image of any video frame in your project or to save a
set of sequentially numbered still-image files.
Note: The Save Current Frame and Image Sequence destinations do not appear by
default. To add either of them to the Destinations list, see Create share destinations in
Final Cut Pro.
The Save Current Frame and Image Sequence destinations include the following settings:
• Export: Choose a file type for the exported file.
• Scale image to preserve aspect ratio: Select this checkbox to scale the output file to
use square pixels and maintain the original aspect ratio (which results in an increase or
decrease in the number of horizontal and vertical pixels).
The checkbox affects only projects with formats that use non-square pixels, such as
NTSC and PAL formats. If the checkbox is not selected (the default setting), the output
file uses the same pixel aspect ratio and has the same number of horizontal and vertical
pixels as the original video.
• Burn in captions: If you added captions to your project, you can choose a caption
language to burn in to the output media file.
Note: Burned-in captions are permanently visible in the output file and are not the same
as embedded captions.
Export File and Apple Devices destinations in Final Cut Pro
Use these destinations to export files for Apple devices, computers, and web hosting. You
can export your project or clip as a movie file with video and audio, as a video file (with no
audio), or as an audio file (with no video).
You can customize these destinations by choosing one of several resolutions, depending
on the intended playback device. You can also export one or more of the roles used in
your project as one or more files, also known as media stems. If your project includes
captions, you can export language versions (subroles) as embedded captions or as
separate caption files.
