Compressor Settings destination in Final Cut Pro
Use this destination to export a project or clip using settings from Compressor, the
professional transcoding app designed to work directly with Final Cut Pro.
Note: The Compressor Settings destination does not appear by default. To add it to the
Destinations list, see
Create share destinations in Final Cut Pro.
Exporting a project with a Compressor setting provides many of the benefits of Compressor
without requiring you to open your project in Compressor. You can use Compressor to create
multiple output files in one share operation, or create custom settings that modify your
output file (for example, to add a watermark to the video). If you have Compressor installed
on your system, you can use any of your Compressor settings with Final Cut Pro.
If you don’t have Compressor installed on your system and you receive a Compressor
setting from someone else, put the setting in this location so that Final Cut Pro and
Compressor can access it:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings/
You may need to create the Compressor and Settings folders using the Finder.
Tip: In Mac OS X 10.7 and later, the Library folder within your home folder is hidden by
default. To access it in the Finder, hold down Option and choose Go > Library. See macOS
Help, available from the Help menu when the Finder is active.
HTTP Live Streaming destination in Final Cut Pro
Use this destination to send audio and video to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using a
web server.
Note: The HTTP Live Streaming destination does not appear by default. To add it to the
Destinations list, see
Create share destinations in Final Cut Pro.
Because HTTP live streaming dynamically adjusts movie playback quality to match the
available speed of wired or wireless networks, it’s a great way to deliver streaming media to
your iOS-based app or HTML5-based website. For detailed information about implementing
HTTP live streaming, visit the Apple Developer HTTP Live Streaming website.
The HTTP Live Streaming destination includes the following settings:
• File Type: Select a file type for the exported file. You can select MPEG-2 Transport
Streams or Fragmented MP4.
• Versions to export: Select the checkbox for each type of network connection you want
to support for streaming. You can export files for use with devices that use cellular,
Wi-Fi, and broadband data connections.
• 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.
Bundle destination in Final Cut Pro
You can group sets of destinations together in a bundle to create several types of output in
a single step. When you share a project or clip using the bundle, a file for each destination
in the bundle is output automatically. To learn how to create a bundle, see Create share
destinations in Final Cut Pro.
