If you can't share to DVD or Blu-ray disc in Final Cut Pro, Motion 5 or Compressor

If you're using an image for the background, logo image or title image, try converting the image using Preview.

If you’re trying to share to DVD or Blu-ray in Final Cut Pro on Mac, Motion or Compressor, and “The share operation DVD has failed” or “The share operation Blu-ray has failed” alert appears, check the format of the file you’re using for the background, logo image or title image. 

To check the format of your image, select the image in Finder and choose Get Info. If necessary, click disclosure triangle  next to General. If "High Efficiency Image File Format" (HEIF) appears next to Kind, convert the file to another format with Preview.

  5. Click Save.
  6. Update your Menu Graphics with the new converted file, then share to DVD or Blu-ray again.
