How to Output?

You’re almost finished with the post-production of your program. After finishing and

mastering, all that remains is to output the final master to a format that you can deliver

to the client. Final Cut Studio is able to accommodate just about any professional or

consumer, video- or film-based format and workflow. For more information, see:

• Digital Cinema Mastering

Outputting to Tape

Tape output is a requirement for nearly all programs that are going to be broadcast. It’s

also highly recommended as a safe means of archiving your program in its final, finished

state. Distributors and broadcasters typically have specific requirements about which

formats they’ll accept. These usually include:

• Betacam SP and Digital Betacam for standard definition (SD) programs

• HDCAM, HDCAM SR, and D-5 for high definition (HD) programs
