This tutorial will cover exporting to a streaming quick time file.

1) Once you have finished editing your video in Final Cut Pro the first thing that you want to do is Render your audio and video. To do this we want to select “Sequence” across the top then go down to “Render All” then move over and select “Both”, this will render both your video and audio.

2) Now that the rendering is completed we export the timeline, to do this select the timeline with a single mouse click on the timeline. This step avoids exporting single clips from the viewer window.

3) Next we can click on “File” located in the menu across the top, we will then move down and select “Export”, then move over and choose “Quick Time Conversion”

4) Under the format Drop Down arrow you want to choose "Quick time Movie"

5) Under the "Use" drop down arrow you need to choose "Streaming - Medium"

6) Check to make sure you settings are the same as below and save your movie.

If you are using the PennState Streaming Server, keep in mind that it has a restriction of allowing only files that are one gigabyte in size or under to be uploaded. If you files is too large, try splitting it into multiple smaller files or manually adjusting the streaming settings to lessen the quality (thereby lessening the file size).
