How to Burn a DVD in FCP
Final Cut Pro (FCP) is an advanced video editing software from Apple that is part of the Final Cut Studio suite of applications. FCP is used by many professional video editors on Hollywood films and television shows. While FCP itself cannot burn a DVD, another application in the Final Cut Studio suite, DVD Studio Pro, can. You just have to transfer your final video to DVD Studio and burn the disc to create a DVD of your FCP project.
