Choosing or Switching Audio Outputs

You can choose an audio interface for playing audio from the Viewer, Canvas,
and Timeline.

To choose an audio interface to monitor your audio or to output audio to an
external device:

1

Choose Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings, then click the A/V Devices tab.

2

Choose an audio interface from the Audio pop-up menu. This interface is used for
playing audio from the Viewer, Canvas, and Timeline.

 Default: This option uses the output device you have selected in the Output pane of

the Sound pane of Mac OS X System Preferences (or in the Audio MIDI Setup utility).
If you want to control the audio output of Final Cut Pro from these locations, choose
this option. This is the default setting for audio output.

 Built-in Audio: This is your computer’s built-in audio interface.
 FireWire DV: If you connect a DV camcorder or deck to your computer, this option

becomes the default setting.

 Other available audio interfaces: If you have a third-party video or audio interface

installed, it appears in this list.

Depending on your hardware, additional options may be available to configure your
audio interface.
