Determining the Image Format for Still-Image Export
Final Cut Pro uses the built-in QuickTime technology in Mac OS X to export still images.
Because QuickTime supports a wide variety of graphic (still-image) formats, nearly any
graphic format you need to export is supported.
If you’re exporting images for a website, JPEG is a good option because it compresses
images to a small size but maintains fairly high quality. If you want to export images
without compression, you can export TIFF or Photoshop files.
Note: If you need to export a sequence as a numbered image sequence (a collection of
still images), you’ll go through a slightly different process than simply exporting a
single still image.
