  Highest Quality Export w/ mpeg-4 container & H.264 Codec FCPX

  Posted by Josh Birch on November 13, 2014 at 3:07 pm

  Hi Guys,

  What is the highest possible export option with an mpeg-4 container (.mp4) with a H.264 codec. My client is asking for this format but can’t figure it out?

  When I go to Export > Master File it only gives me an option for .mov container with H.264 codec….

  Thanks in advance

  Josh

  You need to set this up in Compressor. One option is to built a Setting’s Preset using QTExport Components – Encoder Type:MPEG-4 … and then customize by pressing the “Configure” option.

  I don’t have fcpx in front of m but if I make no mistake you can create an mp4 file using the “Apple device” setting. One of the submenus will give you the possibility to chose “Computer” and this creates a non .mov h264 file.

  Could be a solution to your problem without goint to Compressor ?
