Jump In:  Create a QuickTime Movie

You can export a sequence or clip as a self-contained QuickTime movie that can be viewed on many computers and in applications that are compatible with QuickTime. A self-contained QuickTime movie includes all files and media necessary for playback in a single file, making the movie easy to transfer and use elsewhere.

Getting Ready

mm Open a project that has a clip or sequence in the Timeline that you want to export. If you like, open one of the sequences that you created in one of the previous chapters.

Try This

Export your sequence as a QuickTime movie:

1With the Timeline active, Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.

2Type a filename for your movie in the Save As field.

3Select a location for the QuickTime movie file. For example, select your Movies folder.

4Make sure the Include pop-up menu is set to Audio and Video so that both the audio and video of your movie are output. You could also choose to export just the audio or just the video of your movie.

5Make sure the Make Movie Self-Contained checkbox is selected so that Final Cut Pro creates a single file that is easy to transfer and play.

6Click Save.

7In the Finder, double-click the QuickTime file that you just created to open it in

QuickTime Player. Play the movie.
