Where are movies shared to Apple devices stored exactly? When I shut down FCPX the shared movie disappears from iTunes.

Create a new destination, using Compressor Settings. When you choose it to share to in the popup box where you can add in tags and a description, when you click next you will be given the option to direct it to the folder of your choosing. It will hold whatever setting you put in there but you can also change it next time you use it. It just took me a couple of hours to discover this. It's in the directions but kind of buried in there. Good luck.

What version are you using? What exactly are you doing? If shared to iTunes they don't disappear from there. That's where they stored. They used to be stored inside the library, but FCP no longer does that after the application closes.

I really can’t find mu .mov file! Unfortunately saved it on Apple devices..... Wish I hadn’t done that. It wasn’t in my home videos nor on any other place I tried. Finder frame remained empty when I typed the name of the file. Seems it vanished although it took a bit from my memory..... Sigh!

Thanks for your comment, Tom. I searched in finder for .m2v extensions but there were no results. I remember I exported the file to an Apple device 1080 x 1440 H264. Checked the settings and it should be in my Library on iTunes. I couldn’t find it there.

Hi. I posted an observation, but am not seeing it.

First, I use “Apple Devices 720/1080” exclusively, and my files are .m4v, so you might want to check that, too.

Second, when first selecting the share option, the dialogue box opens in the “info” window showing the proposed title.

If you select “Settings” of the “info/settings” switch, there is a “ when done” pull-down menu which I have set to “do nothing”. This isn’t important, really, but it prevents FCPX from doing something you don’t want done. I think the default is “Library”, which may put it in the “iTunes Media” folder in the Sidebar-Music folder (located in your disk sidebar). Not sure about that. Might put it in a folder in the Sidebar-Movies folder.

However, with “Do Nothing” selected, clicking “next” offers up the last save location. His might help you find where it went, but may only give a default location if it has never been used.

Hope something helps.

And then, there's the option of duplicating your steps, even tho' I don't usually set "When Done" to "Library".

I found the video in iTunes under the Home Movie tab. Right--click the video in iTunes and click the "files" tab.

Mine told me:

//Volumes/Video Assets/Family.fcpbundle/Family Projects /Shared Items/6KU+NYzBSPG04kgL+BJjtw/16-02 Amazon - Cleared (854 x 480).m4v

This means nothing specific to anyone else, but generally speaking, it means it is in the FCPX project folder "xxx.fcpbundle" in the "Project Name" folder in the "Shared Items" folder.

If you have never opened a FCPX project folder, don't double-click to open, cuz it will just open up FCPX.

Right-click the folder and choose "view contents".

Hope it works for you, and you are welcome.

How very interesting. Never saw an update to 10.4, although when I go to the App Store it is there to download.

Perhaps I need to give in and upgrade to High Sierra?

Well, I guess that's why we pay you the big bucks (in the virtual currency "thank you's").

So here's another one: Thanks for pointing that out.

YYou say it disappears from iTunes. Does that mean you see it in iTunes while FCP is open? While you see it can you use reveal in Finder inside iTunes to show you its location?

TThat correct. It disappears from fcp, but it should be in iTunes. Your question says it's disappearing from iTunes. Export the file to iTunes. Do not close FCP. Open iTunes if it's not already in open. Is the file in iTunes? If it is use the reveal in Finder function in iTunes to see where the file actually is. Close FCP. Has the file disappeared from iTunes and from the Finder?

JJust to be clear, when you use the show in Finder function in iTunes it takes you to the share folder inside the FCP bundle, is that correct?

WHere is your iTunes library stored?

CCan you post a screen shot of your iTunes library structure with the Movies folder?

After the export is complete the my shared file goes into the Home Videos folder.

The only thing I can suggest is while both applications are open is to move the exported file from the FCP bundle into the iTunes folder.
