Best Export Settings
I’m working on exporting a project for an employer and she wants the largest settings possible so she can project the video on a big screen. She used 10-bit PAL in 48khz for video shot in on HDCam 1080 48khz. I always thought the best export setting was export -> Quicktime -> current settings.
I’ve had problems with both of these export types; her PAL video is not deinterlaced. For the Quicktime -> current settings sometimes working with people if I export in Quicktime then give them the clip they can’t open it on a computer without the FCP codec for Quicktime. Any advice on good export settings for uncompressed or very high quality videos, that could play on anyone’s computer?

Ian,
If you want Quicktime files that will play on any computer, then you can’t use a pro codec. That means an uncompressed file is out of the running. Your best bet is an H264 in a Quicktime container. I have a tutorial posted on my blog on how to do just that. The tutorial is specifically for web video, but all you need to do is up the data rates for better quality. Check it out here: https://blog.screenlight.tv/2010/11/25/encoding-h-264-quicktime-for-the-web-with-compressor/
Alternatively, you can make an H264 in an mp4 container, but you would need to use a compression software other than Compressor.
Good Luck.
