Sharing Your Movie

When your video and audio are ready for playback, it’s
time to make your movie available to others.

There are three easy ways to share a Final Cut Express HD project: export it for use on a
DVD, distribute it over the web, or make a videotape.

Exporting for DVD

Preparing your Final Cut Express HD movie for use in a DVD authoring tool such as
iDVD is easy. Final Cut Express HD uses the QuickTime .mov file format and feature set
for export. QuickTime is Apple’s cross-platform multimedia technology widely used for
editing,
CD-ROM, web video, and more.

To export a QuickTime movie for use in iDVD:

1

Select a clip or sequence in the Browser or open a sequence in the Timeline.

2

Make sure to clear all In and Out points in the Timeline by Control-clicking in the
Timeline, then choosing Clear In and Out.

3

Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
