Exporting a Single Output from a Group Selection

When you export via Share, you can create a single output media file from multiple
sources. For example, you might want to create a dailies DVD containing all the takes
from one day of shooting.

To create a single output media file from multiple sources

1

In Final Cut Pro, select two or more Browser clips, sequences, or both.

See

“Types of Group Selections”

for more information on the possible types of selections.

Group selections have the following restrictions:

• If a group selection has items with varying frame sizes, the frame size of the first item

in the selection is applied to all items in the group.

• If you select “Combine sources into one source” in the Multiple Sources dialog:

• All items in a multiple-sequence selection must have the same frame rate (timebase).

• Multiple-clip selections can have differing frame rates, but in that case, the output

media file will have the frame rate of the first clip in the selection.

Choose File > Share.

The Multiple Sources dialog opens with the default setting “Export as separate sources”
selected.

Although this particular workflow does not require it, you can see more information about
the options in the Multiple Sources dialog in

“About the Multiple Sources Dialog.”
