Best way to get a video file from FCP to handbrake for custom compression?
Hi all! I use Handbrake to transcode video files or dvd structures to mp4 AVC for online streaming (RTMP)purposes. A film was sent to me right after post-production in Pro Res format. As you may know Handbrake doesn’t work with Pro Res, so I used the encoder “Super” which gets the job done but without a great result, probably also because I’m less use to it. The thing is I don’t use nor have Final Cut and therefore don’t know what other format I can recommend to my client so that it renders a video file I can use in Handbrake to transcode.
Could you recommend the best video file format in which should be compressed the video file out of FCP so that I can make my own transcode in Handbrake?
Thank you so much for your help! -

Why not use the x264 Quicktime component instead?

Yes thought of this solution, but it is ok to go from this x264 file to create the other files I need (quality wise)?
In any case I need to make the final distribution files myself. I guess can ask for a high quality x264 file and start from there, like(for an SD video) start from 720×576 >3mbits file; what do you think?
Thank you for your feedback! -
I think Daniel meant for you to use the x264Encoder component on the ProRes file you’ve been sent. If you don’t have Quicktime Pro you can use it via MPEG Streamclip.
