View background tasks
Many Final Cut Pro tasks take place in the background:
•
Importing
•
Transcoding
•
Video and audio optimization and analysis
•
Rendering
•
Sharing
Final Cut Pro manages background tasks automatically, so you don’t need to do anything to
start or pause them. If you want to see the progress of any of the background processes, you can
open the Background Tasks window. The tasks being performed and a percentage of completion
are shown in the window.
Important: If you actively use Final Cut Pro while background tasks are running, the background
tasks will pause. The tasks resume when you stop using Final Cut Pro.
