  Desperate need of compression advice using Compressor/Final Cut Pro X

  Posted by Mark Vlasic on October 19, 2013 at 9:06 pm

  Looking to compress a 90 minute feature film into a file around 5GB. I had a post house pull it off at 4.71GB but I made changes and don’t have time to get it back to the post house. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  High school math.
  A car goes 50mph for 2 hours so it traveled 100 miltes
  speed times duration equals distance.
  speed times duration equals size

  kibps times duration equals files sise.
  Solve for kbps.

  If it’s afile size issue – remember that Compressor gives you the estimated file size as a calculation in the inspector when you are making your settings. As for what those settings should be? That depends on the files end purpose.
