Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1640)

• To hold a video chat session in which you and your iChat buddy can chat and see each
other, both computers must have a video camera, such as the Apple iSight, attached
or built in to the computer. If the host or remote computer doesn’t have a video camera,
you can still use Final Cut Pro to send video by inviting the remote viewer to a one-way
video chat session, but you will not be able to see or chat with the remote viewer as
you can during a video chat session with cameras.
• The host computer must have Final Cut Pro 7, although the remote computer using
iChat does not require it.
• Both computers require a network connection that is fast enough to support a video
iChat session.
During an iChat Theater Preview session, the remote user’s iChat window displays the
media being played in the host’s Viewer or Canvas window and an inset of the remote
user’s camera image, similar to the image shown below. The remote user can talk to the
host user and view the playback simultaneously.
The host user’s iChat window displays the video sent from the remote computer, and an
inset of the video being played in the Viewer or Canvas window, similar to the image
shown below. Final Cut Pro streams the video played in the host’s active Viewer or Canvas
window.
