  • Why on EARTH is there not a 1920×1080 AppleTV Compressor Export option?!

    Posted by David Nussbaum on August 28, 2013 at 11:09 pm

    Am I missing something here? Compressor beautifully exports in H264 under apple devices in compressor @ 1280×720 but there is not an option for 1920×1080?

    I’ve read of people trying to do it manually but I hear that it does not compress as well!

    Can anyone help? So frustrating!

    If you are using FCS3 then there has been no software development in over 3 years. The product was EOLd two years ago so there will be no update that gives different presets so you will have to experiment and get a good custom setting.

    Try changing the frame size in Compressor and adjust data rates and save a custom preset.If you want to then help others then post your settings here.

    does the later version of compressor have an apple TV device 1920 x 1080 option?

    AppleTV didn’t start having 1080p content until very recently. Talking in the past year and a half or so. Well after FCP7 and Compressor 3 were made, and after they were discontinued I think too…

    Page 67 of the manual for Compressor 4 has all the info you need.

    You can use episode to do your compressions.
    It’s the best conversion program I came across, worth every buck.

    cheers

    It sure does. Export a “QuickTime Movie” master file and drop that into Compressor 4. If you upgrade to FCPX it has an AppleTV setting directly in the program as well.
