Where does an "Export to Apple Devices" file go to in Final Cut Pro X?
Sometimes the most simple things in this software are not obvious. I get a "Share Successful" message but have no idea where it is on my HD.
When you set up your export settings and clicked ‘Next…’, a standard save sheet appears prompting you for a location to save the file. Wherever you selected as a save location will be wherever the file is.
Once exporting is complete, the notification has a Show button which reveals the location in Finder.
If you forgot the location and missed the notification, you can still reveal the location.
- Select the project in the Library viewer under the event where it is located.
- Show the Share Inspector using the
button on the inspector toolbar. -
Click the reveal arrow next to the shared media, then select Reveal in Finder.
When you do this you need to have 'do nothing' selected in the 'when done' box in order to get the save dialogue. Otherwise the file will go into ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/Home\ Videos/ (yes this just confused me as well!)
