Exporting a Master Mix Using Compressor
The Export dialog in Soundtrack Pro offers a direct link to the Compressor application.
Compressor is the high-speed video and audio encoding tool for Final Cut Studio. It
provides an efficient way to transcode between professional formats, or to convert content
so that it can be experienced on many different platforms and devices (including websites,
Apple TV, an iPod, CD-ROM discs, DVDs, cell phones, and so on).
When you export using Compressor, you can use custom presets that you create in
Compressor or the presets included with Compressor.
