A Reference movie is much smaller than a Self-Contained movie and is quicker to export, but change or move anything in FCP and the Reference movie will become invalid. A Reference movie does not contain video media, but rather, it has pointers that reference back to the video media in FCP. If you uncheck this box, you will export what we call a 'Reference' movie. The last option is 'Make Movie Self-Contained', this is is my preferred choice. Leave the 'Recompress All Frames' Unchecked.

Settings should be at 'Current Settings', Include: Audio and Video, Markers: 'DVD Studio Pro Markers'. In the Save dialog box, enter a name for the export and set Desktop for the destination. Another advantage of working with a QuickTime self-contained is that it is an exact clone of your FCP timeline and can be archived for storage or use at a later time. If you encounter issues in FCP 7 with 'Send to Compressor' (or are using an earlier version of FCP), use a QuickTime self-contained movie to transfer from FCP to Compressor. While FCP 7 has resolved a number of issues, there are still a few reports of problems with the new 'Send to Compressor' process. The QuickTime Self-Contained movie has been around from the very start of FCP and it has always been rock solid.

Aside from tying up FCP during the transfer process (which took forever), sometimes the resulting finished export from Compressor had errors. In the past, before FCP 7, there could be issues moving projects from FCP to Compressor using 'Export to Compressor'.

You can, of course, direct these files to any location of your choosing. Compressor can create a number of files while it's working and in order to be able to find those files, I suggest that you direct all Compressor files to the Desktop. In the Preferences window, set the 'Default Destination' to Desktop. Launch Compressor and from the Compressor menu > Preferences. There is one thing that needs to be done before we start working in Compressor. Lower left is the Settings/Destination window, lower center is the Inspector and lower right is the History window. Top left is the Batch window, top right is the Preview window. You can go ahead and close this Template window.īefore we start working with Compressor lets take a look around the Compressor interface.

For more information on the new Batch Template feature, check out Compressor 3.5. This window contains 7 Batch Templates that allow us to choose the encode process that we want Compressor to perform and then also, the Job Action (Distribution), what we want Compressor to do, once the files have been encoded. When you first launch Compressor, a new Batch Templates window will open up. Bring in the video you want to work with, select a Preset, adjust the Preset, click on the Submit button. While the Compressor may seem a bit daunting at first, it's really fairly simple to use. While it's true that FCP has an 'open' timeline and can accept and work with different frame sizes, rates or codecs, often the resulting quality is less than stellar. create MPEG 2 for SD DVDs or H.264 for web distribution? There is also another issue, there are times when we have video that is not in the correct format for us to work with, we may need to change the frame size, rate and/or codec of the video (some new digital still cameras now shoot video but use non-standard frame rates and codecs). But what do we do when it comes time for final delivery, i.e. Faster Macs and falling prices for hard drive storage and ram means that we can comfortably work with these new HD formats in FCP. As the frame size and quality of our video goes up, so does the size of the video files. In FCP we can work with a number of different video formats, including a large number of new HD formats. We use Compressor for two different tasks to encode files to make them smaller and change their codec to a delivery format for distribution, and to transcode source video to different codecs to improve or facilitate workflow.
