  • Compressor Custom Output settings Problems

    Hi Folks,
    I am using FCP 5.0.4 and trying to output for a website using Compressor (2.0.1). It has been suggested to go to the web folder, Streaming, Quicktime 7 and choose the H.264 800kbps compression. My program doesn’t exactly follow this navigation sequence, but I can get there. They say in the inspector window go to the “Geometry” tab and set the frame size to 480 x 270 (from the default 320 x 240). This must be to set the 16:9 HD original format. I cannot make the “Save as” selection in the Inspector window do anything. I want to save the settings since I have many of the videos to create for a website.
    How can I Save or Create settings to use over and over?
    Dan

    You cannot write over the presets, instead you must copy the preset and then make changes. I can’t remember the exact sequence of keystrokes this minute, but I know you will find something about copying presets in the online Compressor manual in the Help menu.
