Exporting a Final Cut Pro Project and Its Linked Media Assets
You can export a Final Cut Pro project asset and all its linked media assets in one process.
To export a copy of a Final Cut Pro project and its linked media assets:
1 Control-click the asset, then choose Export from the shortcut menu.
The Export Final Cut Pro window appears.
2 In the Export Final Cut Pro window, choose a location to save the exported
Final Cut Pro project file and its linked media files to by clicking the Choose button and
identifying a location in the file browser.
3 If the Edit Proxy feature has not been enabled, original media will be used by default.
If the Edit Proxy feature has been enabled, choose Original Media or Edit Proxy from
the Use pop-up menu. This defines the media type that will be exported.
4 Select the Keep Media with Project checkbox to include the media files in the export.
Important: If you don’t select the Keep Media with Project checkbox, only the
Final Cut Pro project asset is exported.
5 Click the Export button.
A copy of the project is exported to the location you specified in the Export
Final Cut Pro window.
Note: After export, the project and media files are no longer tracked by
Final Cut Server.
Exporting a Final Cut Studio Bundle Asset
When you uploaded the Final Cut Studio project file and its media files, you chose to
upload either a bundle asset that contained the project file and media files, or to
upload the project file and each of its media files as independent assets. If you
uploaded the project file and its media files as a bundle asset, you can export the
bundle asset in one simple step.
To export a bundle asset:
1 Control-click the bundle asset, then choose Export from the shortcut menu.
The Export window appears.
2 In the Export window, choose a destination to save the bundle to by clicking the
Choose button and identifying a location in the file browser.
3 Click the Export button.
The folder that the bundle asset contains is exported to the location you specified in
the Export window.
