Final Cut Studio provides several ways of delivering your program for review during any
part of the organization, editing, or finishing process. This chapter summarizes the different
options that are available to you.
Arranging for Client Review
Throughout the post-production process, it’s critical to get ongoing feedback about the
program you’re working on. Whether you’re getting your feedback from friends and
family, clients, or test audiences, it’s important to be able to provide a screening copy (or
“screener”) of your program in a format that’s convenient for viewing.
Once upon a time, videocassettes were the most common way of providing a copy of
your program. With the demise of consumer tape formats, tape output (to more expensive
formats) is now ordinarily reserved for the final master. Instead, it’s common to provide
your program as a QuickTime movie, DVD, or Blu-ray disc. The appropriate format for
your purpose depends on the level of quality necessary for a useful review and the
preference of the reviewer.
