I am still experimenting with this option but clearing this checkmark always yields consistent results so that might be the best option for now.)Click OKenter a filename that delights youClick the "Save" buttonYou will notice your movie starts rendering quickly until about 9% and then it seems to hang for a long time.. do not worry, this is "normal" for Final Cut.. go make some coffee and mow the lawn or something.It will take about 20 minutes to an hour to render most likely, so be patient.The final product is a very sharp looking 1280x720p movie compressed/encoded with H.264 and very crisp audio quality that works well with YouTube.comGood luck! =)
