Compressor Frame Controls settings question (and panic!)

[Harry Powell]

Hi Dave

Apologies for any confusion caused, but how does this from my initial post, not make it clear the type of footage in my FCP edit timeline?

“Compressor is estimating over 30 hours to encode an 11 minute 1080i ProRes (self-contained from FCP) to 720p H.264”

i.e. ProRes ?

You are not sending from FC, don’t you?

Rafael, I’m not sure if I understand your question correctly, but what I meant was, I export the ProRes in the Timeline as a self-contained QT movie, at current settings. I then put this self-contained QT movie in Compressor.

Are you suggesting I should be ‘sending’ to Compressor? I see that option for sending to Soundtrack Pro and Motion, but I can’t see this for Compressor.

Not at all.
I just wanted to make sure that you were working with Self-contained movies.
Sending from FC, would take much more time.
