As a videographer, it is quick and easy to create proofs directly from Final Cut Pro and send them out to a PageProof workflow. Then, when a to-do list has been returned, bring the comments back into Final Cut Pro with the corresponding pins positioned along your project timeline. Firstly make sure you have installed the PageProof plugin for Final Cut Pro, then follow these simple instructions:

Step 1

Step 2
