View background tasks in Final Cut Pro for Mac

Many Final Cut Pro tasks take place in the background:

• Importing

• Transcoding

• Analyzing and optimizing video and audio

• Rendering

• Sharing

• Transferring remote media

• Backing up libraries

Final Cut Pro manages background tasks automatically, so you don’t need to do anything to start or pause them. If you want to see the progress of any of the background processes, you can open the Background Tasks window, which shows the tasks being performed and the percentage of completion.
