share the results of editing decisions with others at different locations. By setting up a

Preview session and have Final Cut Pro stream video to the remote user’s computer screen.
To use the iChat Theater Preview feature:
• Both the host computer playing the video and the remote computer receiving it must
have Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard or later.
• Both computers must have iChat accounts and the remote user’s account must be
added to the host computer’s buddy list.
