Apple Final Cut Pro 6 - Manual (Page 1767)

284 Part III Output
To export from Final Cut Pro using Compressor:
1 In the Browser, select a sequence or clip you want to export.
If you want to export only a specific segment of a clip or sequence, set In and Out
points in your clip or sequence.
2 Choose File > Export > Compressor.
Compressor opens and the sequence or clip you exported from Final Cut Pro appears
as a new encoding job in a Compressor Batch window.
Once your Final Cut Pro clip or sequence is set up as an encoding job in Compressor, you
can adjust settings and submit the job just as you would with any other individual
QuickTime source file in Compressor. For more information about setting up a Compressor
job for encoding, see “
Applying Encoder Settings and Submitting Jobs ” on page 282.
Important: The Source destination in Compressor actually results in the output
media files being placed at the root level of your startup volume. You can assign a
different destination in Compressor if needed. For more information, see the
Compressor User Manual.
