Final Cut Pro 11.01 — Mastering NTD (No Transcode Damage) Workflow

Step 1 – Purchase and Download

1. Open the Mac App Store.
2. Search for “Final Cut Pro.”
3. Click “Buy” (or “Update” if already owned).
4. After download, the installer launches automatically. Alternatively, find “Install Final Cut Pro” in Launchpad.

3) Timeline and Project Settings

• Set project timeline codec to match the highest-quality source you plan to deliver (e.g., ProRes 422 HQ or ProRes RAW if your deliverable supports it).
• Disable automatic background render or set it to use a lossless intermediate if available—so renders don’t repeatedly re-encode into lossy formats.
