HTTP Live Streaming destination in Final Cut Pro

Use this destination to send audio and video to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using a web server.

Note: The HTTP Live Streaming destination does not appear by default. To add it to the Destinations list, see Create share destinations in Final Cut Pro.

Because HTTP live streaming dynamically adjusts movie playback quality to match the available speed of wired or wireless networks, it’s a great way to deliver streaming media to your iOS-based app or HTML5-based website. For detailed information about implementing HTTP live streaming, visit the Apple Developer HTTP Live Streaming website.

The HTTP Live Streaming destination includes the following settings:

File Type: Select a file type for the exported file. You can select MPEG-2 Transport Streams or Fragmented MP4.
Versions to export: Select the checkbox for each type of network connection you want to support for streaming. You can export files for use with devices that use cellular, Wi-Fi, and broadband data connections.
Burn in captions: If you added captions to your project, you can choose a caption language to burn in to the output media file.
Note: Burned-in captions are permanently visible in the output file and are not the same as embedded captions.
