2Choose File > Export.

3Choose a file format from the Export pop-up menu.

4Choose the preset that best meets your needs from the Use pop-up menu.

For example, to export a movie for use with a video-capable iPod, choose “Movie to iPod.” To export a movie that is optimized for Apple TV, choose “Movie to Apple TV.”

Note: To use the same settings you used during the last export, choose Most Recent Settings from the Use pop-up menu.
