Sending Clips from Final Cut Pro to a Shake Script
You can send two kinds of selections to Shake from Final Cut Pro:
 An entire sequence in the Browser: All the clips in the sequence are sent to a new
Shake script.
 One or more selected clips in a sequence: Only the selected sequence clips are sent to
a new Shake script. In addition, a new placeholder QuickTime media file is created
where the final rendered Shake media will be stored. Final Cut Pro automatically
creates a new sequence containing a clip that links to the placeholder QuickTime
media file.
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:
 In the Timeline, select one or more sequence clips you want to export.
 In the Browser, select a sequence.
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: Enter 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 applies only if you select 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: Enter a name and choose a location for the new 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.
