Recompress all frames fcp 75/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Since starting with FCP 1, I have found that Self-Contained QuickTime movies are rock solid and even though they take some time and disk space, this is my preferred method of export from FCP. ![]() If you are moving your FCP project to a different Mac you'll want to use this process. This process does take awhile (but not nearly as long as 'Export to Compressor') and does produce a large file. When this box is checked, FCP will export an exact, full quality clone of your project. Shown below in the red box is 'Make Movie Self-Contained'. When you choose this method you will be presented with a Save dialog box, which offers two options for export. Because of time considerations and the fact that using this method allows you to return to work in FCP almost immediately, many people prefer this process. The other method of moving from FCP to Compressor, which does not lock up FCP, is to export as a QuickTime Movie (not 'Using QuickTime Conversion). If you choose to use 'Export Using Compressor', Compressor will launch and the FCP Project will be automatically added to the Compressor Batch window. It also seems that exporting using this process takes longer than exporting from FCP as a QuickTime movie and then encoding in Compressor. Even so, not everyone uses the direct 'export Using Compressor' process because, during the export, FCP is locked up and not available to the user until the export is completed. Encoding the video twice, once in FCP and then again in Compressor can lower final quality a bit. Exporting as a QuickTime movie requires FCP to first render the video using the sequence codec and then the QuickTime movie is re-encoded in Compressor. This process might yield slightly better export quality than other methods (exporting as a QuickTime movie), because FCP hands off the video to Compressor in a unrendered state and Compressor renders the video and encodes in one shot. Set In and Out Points on the timeline or select the Sequence in the Browser, then from the File menu > Export > Using Compressor. The first method involves exporting directly from FCP to Compressor. There are several ways to move your finished project from FCP to Compressor. For those of us who have been using Compressor over the years, the new interface came as a bit of a surprise and, while Compressor is still the same application, the new interface does do things a little differently. When Apple recently rolled out Final Cut Studio 2, we discovered that Compressors' interface had received a major overhaul. Compressors' New Interface in Final Cut Studio 2 ![]()
