  Final Cut Pro X Won’t Detect Compresser Problem

  Posted by Charlie Harris on November 24, 2012 at 12:04 pm

  Hey everyone. I am having a bit of trouble with Final Cut Pro X exporting. I have noticed the only way to export with custom settings is by using the “export using compressor settings” option. I regularly upload videos for a Downhill Skateboarding channel on youtube call rahdskatesessions and the problem is my videos are good quality in the 720p/1080p but are far, far worse than they should be on 360p which is youtube’s default to play in. I cannot export my videos to be how I want them to be with FCPX, because my copy of FCPX for some reason thinks that I do not have compressor, and just says to buy compressor, but I already have it.
  I was wondering if somehow any of you know a way to either export it for youtube seperately, or how to make my final cut recognise that I have compressor?
  Would be much appreciated if someone could help me as it is giving me a lot of trouble.

  Cheers, Charlie.

  You’ll have more luck posting this in the FCPX forum: https://forums.creativecow.net/fcpxtechnique

  Why not just export out a full quality mov from FCPX and then import that stand-alone mov into Compressor or Quicktime Pro to encode to mp4 for YouTube upload? Vimeo has a good write up about how one should approach an encode for upload…while it’s Vimeo the principles apply equally to YouTube:https://vimeo.com/help/compression
