Summary

Final Cut Pro 5 includes a new feature that lets you move footage between it and Shake, allowing you to export Final Cut content and edited sequences directly to Shake. Both applications use QuickTime as the file format for media exchange. However, certain types of media and effects settings in a Final Cut Pro project cannot be imported into Shake.
