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 in Final Cut Pro for Mac.
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 in Final Cut Pro for Mac.
