Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy 720 or 1080?

  • Posted by Jon Alva on September 12, 2011 at 8:47 pm

    I am making videos for children’s church to use in churches across the U.S. All Churches have different t.v’s,projectors. I am using final cut x. What is my best chance to make my videos compatible across most computers that churches use? I am going to give them a choice of a dvd or a data dvd. What video formats should I use on the data dvd? Also I don’t want to make large files. Maybe h.264.

    I have the new final cut x. What is my best way of exporting that to those dimensions. I have mpeg streamclip. Here is what I have done.

    1.I exported out of final cut using the apple pro res.
    2. I opened that file in mpeg stream. Then exported out using 720, 480, in mpeg stream clip.

    Is there a better way to do this? Or should I buy compresser? Will these files work great? Or am I making it bad quality by exporting twice? Your thoughts?

    Also just so I have it right?

    720P h.264
    864×480 h.264
    640×480 h.264
