5 To choose a le type for the exported les, click the Options button and do either or
both of the following:
 If you’re exporting one or more video les: Choose Current Settings to export les that
match the project’s settings.
You can also choose one of the available codecs (one of the Apple ProRes options,
H.264, HDV, XDCAM EX, or XDCAM HD422) from the “Video codec” pop-up menu.
 If you’re exporting one or more audio les: Choose AIFF or WAVE from the “Audio le
format” pop-up menu.
6 Choose what to do with the exported les from the “Open with” pop-up menu:
 None: Choose this option if you don’t want to automatically open the exported le.
 iTunes (or another application): Choose this option to open the exported le in the
default application associated with the le. The name of the default application
appears automatically.
 Compressor: Choose this option to open the exported le in Compressor. The
exported le will be the source in a new batch, making it easy for you to continue to
process the project’s movie. For example, you could create the compressed versions
needed for distribution, without involving Final Cut Pro.
Note: This option is available only if Compressor is installed on the same computer
as Final Cut Pro.
 Other: Choose this option to automatically open the exported le in the application
of your choice. Select the application in the window that appears, and click Open.
7 To see details about the les that will be exported, click Summary.
Note: For instructions for saving customized export settings, see “Save a custom export
preset,” below.
8 Click Next, type a name and choose a location for the exported les, and click Save.
Final Cut Pro renders and saves the les for export as media stems.
