Create a DVD with DVD Studio Pro
If you want to hand off a copy of the program for someone to review from the comfort
of home, you can use DVD Studio Pro to author a standard definition DVD with more
options than the Share command’s DVD preset provides. Although this process is a bit
more involved, you can add surround-encoded audio tracks, chapter menus, multiple
movies encoded to the same disc, and other features that might be better suited to your
review process. For more information, see the DVD Studio Pro documentation.
Use iChat Theater Preview
You can use the Final Cut Pro iChat Theater Preview feature to instantly screen parts of
your work for remote viewers who are also using iChat. To facilitate iChat Theater Preview
playback, the Final Cut Pro video is streamed at a lower, optimized frame rate for live
transmission over the Internet and is formatted to fit the iChat window. All Canvas or
Viewer overlays and warnings or messages, such as messages about dropped frames
during playback, are turned off.
Although you host a video chat session using iChat Theater Preview, you can play clips
or sequences in either the Canvas or the Viewer, and Canvas or Viewer playback is mirrored
for the remote viewer. You can also open multiple Viewer windows and switch among
them to show different clips. The frame displayed in the Viewer or Canvas appears in the
remote viewer’s iChat window. In Final Cut Pro, you can stop playback and reposition the
playhead on specific frames to discuss them. You can also have Final Cut Pro display the
timecode of the current frame in the remote iChat window to help the remote viewer
identify specific frames, and you can control the playback volume using the Audio Mixer.
iChat Theater Preview requires that both the host’s and remote viewer’s computers have
Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard or later as well as a fast Internet connection. Both users must
have iChat accounts, and the remote viewer’s account must be added to the host user’s
buddy list. The remote viewer’s video playback performance is affected by the speed of
the network connection, the processing speed and power of the host and client computers,
and the processing power required to play the particular format of video being used.
For more information about configuring and using iChat Theater Preview, see the
Final Cut Pro documentation.
