Use the Media Browser to share your project with iLife and iWork
If you want to use a nished Final Cut Pro project in another Apple application—such
as GarageBand, iPhoto, or Keynote—you can send your movie to the Media Browser.
The Media Browser is accessible in all iLife and iWork applications.
Note: If the Media Browser item is dimmed, update your version of Mac OS X.
Send your project to the Media Browser
1 Select the project and choose Share > Media Browser.
2 In the window that appears, select the Apple device that is your primary destination
for the movie.
3 To render the project to more than one size or control the output le quality, click
Show Details. The following options appear:
 Sizes: Select one or more sizes.
 Encode for: Choose either “Higher quality” or “More compatibility” and note the
dierence in le size and number of compatible devices listed. Choose the one that
creates an output le compatible with the devices on which you intend to play the
project, keeping in mind that greater compatibility generally results in lower quality
when played on high-resolution devices.
 Compression: This setting controls how long it will take to create the output le.
Choose “Better quality (multi-pass)” if you want the best quality or “Faster encode
(single-pass)” if you are willing to sacrice quality for faster processing.
4 To see details about your choices (the les that will be output), click Summary.
5 To take advantage of distributed processing or to send your project to Compressor,
click Advanced.
For information on the Advanced options, see “Export your project using
Compressor” on page 456.
6 Click Publish.
Rendering the les can take up to several minutes depending on the size of your
movie and whether you’re rendering more than one movie size at once. You can
monitor the render progress using Share Monitor.
For information about working with the project after it has been published, see
“Shared projects overview” on page 459.
