View playback on an external video monitor
Final Cut Pro includes an A/V Output option to send video and audio from your computer to
an external video monitor. In addition to showing you how video and audio look and sound
on an NTSC/PAL or HD broadcast monitor, this feature also allows you to test output with more
sophisticated devices such as vectorscopes and waveform monitors.
A/V output is available only with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later and requires compatible third-
party video interface hardware and software. FireWire DV devices are not supported. For more
information, contact the device manufacturer or go to the Final Cut Pro X Resources webpage at
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/resources .
Play video and audio on an external video monitor
1 Install the video interface hardware and software according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2 Connect an external video monitor to the video interface and make sure it’s connected to power
and turned on.
3 To select an A/V output device, choose Final Cut Pro > Preferences (or press Command-Comma),
click Playback, and choose a device in the Playback preferences pane.
