Create a bundle of destinations
Bundles make it easy to create several types of output in a single step. A bundle holds a set of
destinations. When you share a project or clip using the bundle, a file for each destination in the
bundle is output automatically.

1

In the Destinations pane of the Preferences window, select Add Destination in the Destinations

list and then double-click the Bundle destination (or drag it from the area on the right to the
Destinations list on the left).
An empty bundle appears in the Destinations list.

2

To add destinations to the bundle, drag existing destinations into it from the Destinations list, or

select Add Destination and drag destinations from the area on the right into the bundle.

Tip: To quickly make a bundle from destinations in the Destinations list, select one or more
destinations in the Destinations list, Control-click in the Destinations list, and choose New Bundle
from Selection from the shortcut menu.

Control-click a destination in the Destinations list, and choose Delete from the shortcut menu.

Specify a new default destination
One destination is labeled as the default destination, and only this destination can be opened
using a keyboard shortcut (Command-E). When you first open Final Cut Pro, the Master
File destination is the default destination. You can easily make any other destination the
default destination.

m

shortcut menu.

The name of the new default destination is appended with “(default).”

shortcut menu.

Any custom destinations are deleted, and the default set of destinations appears. For a list of the
default destinations, see

on page 377.
