Create and modify custom presets
If you’ve created a customized list of roles to share, you can save it as a preset.

2 In the “Roles as” pop-up menu, do any of the following:
•
To save a new preset: Choose Save As, type a name for the preset, and click Save.
•
To save changes to an existing preset: Select the preset and make your changes, and then
choose Save.
•
To save a modified preset as a new preset: Select the preset and make your changes, and then
choose Save As, type a name for the preset, and click Save.
•
To rename a preset: Select the preset, choose Rename, type a new name for the preset, and
click Save.
Custom presets that you create appear in the “Roles as” pop-up menu.
Custom presets are stored in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Export
Presets/. To access them quickly, choose Reveal User Presets in Finder from the “Roles as”
pop-up menu.
Delete custom presets
You can delete custom presets that you no longer need.
1 Select a project or clip, and then click the Share button in the toolbar and choose Master File.
2 In the Share window, click the Settings button, and in the “Roles as” pop-up menu, choose the
custom preset that you want to delete.
The custom presets are listed in the pop-up menu.
After you choose a preset, a checkmark appears next to its name.
3 In the “Roles as” pop-up menu, choose Delete.
Export your project using Compressor
The destinations available in Final Cut Pro provide many options for exporting projects and clips.
If you need more options, you can use Compressor, the professional transcoding application
designed to work directly with Final Cut Pro, to create highly customized export settings. For
example, you can use the Compressor frame resizing and retiming controls to make high-quality
frame size and frame rate adjustments in your output files.
Important: To export using Compressor, you must have Compressor 4.1 installed. Compressor 4.1
must be purchased separately.
Send your project to Compressor
1 Select a project or a clip in the Browser, or a range in a project or a clip.
2 Choose File > Send to Compressor.
Note: The Send to Compressor command is dimmed if Compressor is not installed on the same
computer as Final Cut Pro.
Compressor opens with a new batch that contains a job with the project’s or clip’s media file.
3 Configure the job by clicking Add Outputs and following the instructions, then click Start Batch.
