DVD Studio Pro was a high-end software tool published by
Apple Inc. to allow users to create
DVD masters to be sent out for replication at production houses. Its tight integration with other Apple applications allows users to take
Final Cut Pro and
Motion projects and render them into the DVD format without encoding to intermediary formats. This streamlines the production workflow and reduces overhead. It was discontinued with the release of Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4.
