Preparing to Output to Tape
Tape is still the most common means of acquisition, output,
and transfer for professional projects. Final Cut Pro allows
you to output sequences or clips to tape at any phase
of your project.

Choosing a Videotape Format and Equipment for Output
The tape format you choose for output affects the capture settings of your clips,
your sequence settings, and the equipment you need. Before you begin your project,
try to anticipate the format of your final master tape, as well as the format of any
work-in-progress tapes you may distribute to other people on your team.
