Final Cut X, Export 4k 23.98 to 2k 23.98

I've edited 4K 3840x2160 23.98 progressive footage from my iPhone in Final Cut X. I'd like to export the edit to 2K 1920x1080 23.98. How do I do that?

I've tried exporting using the Master File window. But I can't figure out how to change the resolution from 3840 to 1920.

As an aside, I'm trying to switch from Final Cut 7 to Final Cut X and am finding Final Cut X strange and unnerving. Please keep that in mind if folks from the Mac Community have ideas for me. I am definitely a newbie after a decade [at least] with Final Cut 7.

Many thanks,

Very cool. Thanks for the direct advice on the export and the extra tip to the tutorial.

[Now, is there a 64bit Final Cut 8 hiding in some subterranean lair out there. :-)]

Very happy to delve into the tutorials. Many, many thanks,

You can use the Apple Devices 1080p preset.

For lots of help with FCP (no X anymore), watch the Izzy Video tutorials. Will save you tons of frustration and hair pulling. As you've seen FCP uses a much different way of working than FCP7.

If you take some time to follow the Izzy tutorial and get some work done in FCP, you will soon let go of that nostalgia :-)

The new (well 10 years new by now!) FCP is very different, for the better, once you learn its ways, I promise you.
