Note: If you anticipate additional fine-tuning of your edits, or if you plan to change the length of transitions such as dissolves and fades, you can select the Use Handles checkbox and enter a handle length (in seconds and frames) to provide extra media at the head and tail of each sequence clip. Don't set this value too high or it will significantly increase the amount of media you need to recapture. 25 second handles are usually adequate for sequences near completion.

Trading Project Files Using Email or the Internet
To send a project via the Internet or email, you can use the Media Manager to create a copy of your project without media, reducing transfer time significantly. Keep in mind that recipients of your project need the same media files on their systems; otherwise, they will only see offline media indicators when they open the project. Use the copy or recompress option in the Media Manager to create copies of your media files for remote collaborators. The example below shows how to make a copy of your sequence(s) with different sequence settings (image dimensions, codec, and so on) to send to a remote collaborator. To use the Media Manager to create an offline sequence within a new project file: 1 Select a sequence in the Browser. 3 Select the sequence preset that matches the media on the editing system you are sending to. 5 Choose a destination and name for the new project file, then click OK. 6 Attach the new project to an email, or upload it to an accessible FTP or web server. Note: Some network servers may not recognize the native Final Cut Pro file format. To ensure that the file is properly transferred, you can create and send a compressed zip archive of your project instead.
