compatible Apple devices. Although selecting iPod results in a file that is compatible with all
Apple devices, the file’s resolution may produce low quality when played on an iPad or Apple TV.
3 Select “Add to iTunes” if you want the shared file added to your iTunes library.
4 To specify additional options, click Show Details, then open the Options pane.
5 In the Options pane, choose settings to fine-tune the rendered output:
•
Sizes: To render the project to more than one size, select multiple devices in the Sizes area.
Choosing multiple devices results in multiple files with the same name.
•
Encode for: Select “Higher quality” or “More compatibility.” Note the difference in file size and
number of compatible devices listed. Choose the encoding option that creates an output file
compatible with the devices you use to play the project. Greater compatibility generally results
in lower quality when played on high-resolution devices.
•
Title: To change your project’s name in iTunes, enter a name in the Title field.
•
Add to playlist: To add your project to an iTunes playlist, choose a playlist from this
pop-up menu.
•
Compression: Choose a render quality from the pop-up menu. If you choose “Faster encode
(single pass)” you to sacrifice quality for faster processing.
•
Duration: If you set In and Out points in the Timeline, use the Duration pop-up menu to
choose whether to export the entire sequence or the portion between the In and Out points.

For more information about options available in the Render pane, see Render settings on
page 1043.

For more information about background rendering, see Background rendering on page 1044.
8 To see details about files to be output, open the Summary pane.
9 When you’re satisfied with the settings, click Share.
The time it takes to output the project depends on the size of the movie, the number of movie
sizes being rendered, and the Render settings you selected. You can monitor the render progress
using Share Monitor. For more information, see
About Share Monitor on page 1044.
If you selected the Add to iTunes option, iTunes opens (if it wasn’t open), and the new output
media appears within.
