  Creating videos for Amazon Kindle Fire using FCP/Compressor

  Posted by Xavier Paredes on February 21, 2014 at 5:33 pm

  I’ve been thrown a curve ball and need your help.

  I have 240 short videos (each in it’s own sequence in FCP 7) and my client has asked that I create videos that are compatible with the Kindle Fire. According to Amazon specs: https://kindlegen.s3.amazonaws.com/AmazonKindlePublishingGuidelines.pdf I should create MP4s using h.264 codec and MP3 audio. Please see tables in pages 52 and 53 under “6.7 Video Guidelines”

  Whenever I am asked to create MP4s for other jobs, I just use Compressor to create MOVs with the h.264 codec for the video and AAC for the audio. Then, I just use Streamclip to save them as MP4s. However, according to Kindle specs I must use MP3 audio but I don’t see this as an option anywhere.

  I’m sure I’m not the only FCP user that has come across this issue. I hope someone can help.

  Thanks!

  Xavier
