Sending Clips From Final Cut Pro
If you want to send one or more selected clips (or a single sequence) from Final Cut Pro
to Shake, you use the Send To Shake command in Final Cut Pro.
To send one or more clips or a sequence from Final Cut Pro to Shake:
1 Arrange your project’s Timeline so that you are able to select only the clips you intend
to send.
2 Do one of the following:
 Select one or more clips you want to export in the Timeline.
 Select a sequence in the Browser.
3 Do one of the following:
 Choose File > Send To > Shake.
 Control-click the selected clips or sequence, then choose Send To > Shake from the
shortcut menu.
4 When the Send to Shake dialog appears, select the appropriate options:
 Resulting Sequence Name: Type a name for the new sequence that’s created inside
the Final Cut Pro project file to contain the selected media when you click Export.
This only applies if you selected one or more clips in the Timeline; a new sequence is
not created if you select a sequence in the Browser.
 Save as Shake Script: Type a name and choose a location for the Shake script to
be created.
 Save Placeholder QuickTime movie (FileOut) to: Type a name and choose a location for
the placeholder QuickTime movie that will correspond to the FileOut node in the
newly created Shake script.
5 Select the Launch Shake checkbox if you want to automatically open the newly created
Shake script and start working on it.
Important: This requires Final Cut Pro and Shake to be installed on the same computer.
6 Click Export.
When you click Export, several things happen:
 If you selected a clip or group of clips in the Timeline, a new sequence appears in
your Final Cut Pro project, containing duplicates of the selected media.
 A Shake script is created on disk.
 A placeholder QuickTime file is created on disk.
 If you selected a clip or group of clips in the Timeline, the placeholder QuickTime file
appears as a clip in a new (disabled) video track that is created as the topmost track
in your sequence (the original media remains where it was).
