I find it is useful when I do Wedding Films as Ill do all my editing of the ceremony, speeches, first dance, short trailer etc then send them all to Compressor to export in DVD mpeg2, Ac3 audio (I think) Mp4 and final full quality, set it to export and walk away or go to bed, when I come back it is all done and Im ready to burn DVD's, upload to Vimeo or Youtube etc. When you use the "Share" option from FCPX it uses the basic Quicktime compression and exporting options which only give a a few export formats to choose, mainly designed to work with apple products.Ĭompressor does give you a lot more options to export out, if you were going to to build a DVD using a 3rd party app or wanted to export a full quality final master to send to tape or a production house compressor is the beast you need to use.Īdding to this Compressor has the options and technology to use all the available resources in your Mac to chugg away at the video file. I use Compressor for final outputs of my films, it does give a better end result due to the compression techniques. If you are content with the presets or a workflow with other software, then perhaps not Best encoded with FFV1 but not standardized yet.
If you like exporting directly from FCPX, but need custom share options, then Compressor is probably worth it for you. Not accepted by most video editors, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, etc. A lot of it depends on your workflow needs. From the Software section of the sidebar, select Installations. In those cases, I will export a ProRes "master file" out of FCPX to bring into Handbrake.Ĭompressor is not a perfect program, but it is very useful. Press and hold the Option key, then choose Apple menu > System Information. I still sometimes use Handbrake for h.264 files. It also provides a preview window that allows you to compare your source video to processed video before committing. Those saved custom presets then appear as available Share options in FCPX.Ĭompressor allows for encoding without requiring FCPX to be open, or for converting files that don't originate from a FCPX project among other benefits. These, and other, codec/compression options can be configured in Compressor and saved as custom presets. If you wanted all of these outputs, you could batch process them. Compressor allows you control over those settings and to save your own custom presets.įor instance, you may want to export an MPEG2 file with a particular bitrate, letterbox 16:9 footage in a 4:3 file, export to Vimeo with custom settings, or any other number of possibilities.
#PRO VIDEO FORMATS APPLE NO FINAL CUT PRO#
The export settings you are using in Final Cut Pro X are preset Compressor settings and the export itself is actually using the Compressor engine (but with no user control).
