Tutorial: Bundling Destinations for Multiple Exports in Apple Final Cut Pro X

Rendering and Publishing the Bundle

Click Next in the lower-right corner and the Terms of Service dialog appears (Figure 18, below). Click Publish to continue. Same deal for YouTube.

And then you can name your file using the familiar Save As dialog shown in Figure 19 (below). Click Save and the rendering starts.

All rendering in versions 10.0.6 and later occurs in the background, which means you can go back to editing other projects as the rendering process proceeds. If you want to monitor the progress, click Window > Background Tasks, and watch the magic as it unfolds (Figure 20, below).

You can create as many destinations or bundles as you find necessary, and you access all of them as you learned in this tutorial. And that's how you create and use destinations in Final Cut Pro X.
