6 Click the Submit button in the Batch window.
Compressor begins transcoding the Final Cut Pro project and then closes.
You can open the Batch Monitor to view the transcoding status of your Final Cut Pro
project. See the Batch Monitor User Manual for more information.
Note: Final Cut Pro needs to remain open throughout this process, because much of
the transcoding preparation of the frames occurs within Final Cut Pro rather than
within Compressor. Also, you cannot continue working in Final Cut Pro until the
transcode is completed.
Resubmitting a Final Cut Pro Project
You can use the History drawer to resubmit a Final Cut Pro project, the same way as
you resubmit any other batch. Compressor recognizes that this particular batch
originated from Final Cut Pro, so when you drag the batch from the History drawer to
the Batch table of the Batch window, it automatically opens Final Cut Pro.
See “ Resubmitting a Batch ” on page 85 for details about the steps in this process.
