Outputting Your Finished Movie
After you’ve completed editing your movie, you have
numerous options for delivering your work.
You can send your completed movie, a sequence, or even a single clip to another
Final Cut Studio application for further work. For example, you can send your movie to
Color to grade your sequences, to Motion for inclusion in a motion graphics project, or
to Soundtrack Pro for audio editing. You can also send your movie to Compressor for
eventual output in a specific format or using a specific type of codec or compression.
You can output your movie to a master tape using a professional VTR tape deck or
your camera, or output your movie as a QuickTime file that you can easily share with
others. You can also export your movie ready for viewing on standard definition or
high definition monitors, mobile devices such as iPod and iPhone, and websites such
as YouTube. Whether you need a simple QuickTime movie or professionally mastered
output in a specific format for a broadcast, Final Cut Pro provides the options you need.
In this chapter, you’ll explore exporting a movie as a QuickTime file, as well as exporting
your movie in formats compatible with iPod and iPhone devices, or in formats suitable
for viewing on YouTube or other websites.
