Chapter 14 Shareyourproject 457
 If you want to render your output les in the background: By default, when you export
a project using any of the share options, the processing work is all done in the
foreground. This is the fastest way to generate your output les; however, you can’t
use Final Cut Pro while the output les are being created.
Except when using the Export Movie and Save Current Frame options, which always
process in the foreground, you can choose to have output les processed in the
background. This means that you can continue working in Final Cut Pro while the
output les are being created. However, background processing is slowed down if
you perform other processor-intensive tasks at the same time.
