Sharingprojectsoverview
The Final Cut Pro Share menu provides a variety of options designed to make it easy
for you to distribute your project. Most of the options have a specic target, such as an
Apple device connected to iTunes, a Blu-ray disc, or a specic website.
You can also use export options in the Share menu to create an output le that you
can then distribute manually. This is useful when you want to give a client a set of les
on a portable drive or manually copy les to a network location.
To further customize your output le or to spread the processing work across
multiple computers, you can use the settings for Compressor, the professional
transcoding application.
By default, all Share menu options create the output les in the foreground, providing
the fastest results. Except when using the Export Media and Save Current Frame
options, you can choose to have output les created in the background. This means
you can continue working in your project in Final Cut Pro (although any changes you
make to the project after it has been shared are not reected in the output les). For
more information, see “Export your project using Compressor” on page 456.
