Final Cut Pro X: View background tasks
Many Final Cut Pro tasks take place in the background:
-
Importing
-
Transcoding
-
Video and audio optimization and analysis
-
Rendering
-
Sharing
-
Library backups
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. The tasks being performed and a percentage of completion are shown in the window.
