  Export problems with Final Cut Pro HD

  Posted by Lewis Long on March 18, 2008 at 1:19 pm

  I recently exported my entire movie into a .mov file using the Sorenson Video option under Video Settings. That conversion came out fine. Ever since I have been trying to export smaller clips of the same movie, the video is not coming out smoothly anymore. You can see all of the horizontal lines and sometimes when it switches clips you can see blocks on the screen. Any ideas why this could be happening? I am saving to an external hard drive that has plenty of space,so I don’t think that this is the problem

  What do you mean by smaller? File size? TRT?

  If it is file size the more you boost the compression especially Sor3 the more artifacting you will get. For me when I really need to compress the snot out something I use H.264. In my experience it holds up the best when going to really low bit rates.

  Lewis, Matthew is correct. Use H.64. And for that, you should be using Compressor not QT.
