Social Platforms destination in Final Cut Pro for Mac
Use this destination to save a project or clip as a file that is ready for posting on video-sharing websites.
The Social Platforms destination (previously the YouTube & Facebook destination) includes the following settings:
Resolution: Choose the default resolution for the destination. If the destination is used with a project or clip that has a lower resolution than the resolution you chose, the resolution changes to match that of the project or clip.
Compression: Choose “Multi-pass (Better)” to maximize the quality. Choose “Single-pass (Faster)” to speed up the encoding.
Export captions: If you added captions to your project, you can choose a language version to include with the video, either as embedded captions or as a separate sidecar file. See Intro to captions.
Burn in captions: If you added captions to your project, you can choose a language version 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.
Allow export segmentation: Speed up H.264 and HEVC exports by sending segments of your video to available media engines for simultaneous processing. See Speed up exports with simultaneous processing.
