Nw Member here...hello all!
FCPX 10.3
I notice when I SHARE my completed video to
Apple Devices 720p it comes out just fine.
But when I SHARE it to email, it plays with some part being pixelated.
Can you please guide me to rectify this.

Thank you appreciate the help.

Share by email compresses the video hard. The email system was never meant for transferring huge video files so FCP will squash them to get them to an acceptable size - this will usually degrade the picture. If you are sending to somebody in a medium to large company their email system may reject large attachments as they are time consuming to scan for viruses. Export for Apple devices and then use a service like WeTransfer.com to send the file as a download link. This gets around both issues. It’s free to send files of 2GB or less.

Hi CityLover
Welcome to the forums.
You can also send up to 5GB files for free using Apple's built in Mail Drop.
Here are a couple Apple articles on using Mail Drop, YMMV…

There are other web based services that you can send large files like Frame IO or Dropbox and others. Most of these have $$ fees.

Email often has size limits imposed by your ISP, so using a large file sharing service becomes necessary. Mail Drop circumvents these restrictions for the most part.

Hope this helps, Greg
