Hear your Final Cut Pro edit on your iPhone
Most people will watch your video on a phone. Phonecast plays your Final Cut Pro edit on your iPhone speaker while you work.
01Open Phonecast on your Mac and on your iPhone. Connect them with a USB cable or the same Wi-Fi.
02In the Mac menu bar, click the Phonecast icon, then Send Mac audio to iPhone. Your Mac's sound output changes to Phonecast.
03Final Cut Pro plays through your Mac's sound output, so there is nothing to change.
04Press play in Final Cut Pro. Your edit plays on the iPhone speaker.
05Use the USB cable while you edit. It keeps the sound in step with the picture. Over Wi-Fi it arrives a moment late.
06When you finish, click Stop sending to iPhone.
What to listen for
- Your voice under the music. The phone app tells you when music is covering the voice.
- The level for where you post. Pick the place in the phone app and it says turn it up, turn it down, or leave it.
- Low volume. Turn on Quiet speaker to hear it the way many people watch.
If something is off
No sound on the phone?Check that the Phonecast app is open on the iPhone. Then open System Settings, then Sound, and check that the output is Phonecast.
Still no sound on the phone?In Final Cut Pro, open the Window menu and turn off A/V Output. While it is on, the sound goes to that device instead.
The sound is out of step with the picture?That is the Wi-Fi delay. Plug in the USB cable.
