  • Export from FCP at the same time as compress in Compressor…

    Posted by Lucy Moon on April 1, 2011 at 5:48 pm

    I often export out of FCP at sequence settings / self contained QT before sending that file to Compressor for a web version.

    What I wondered was, is it a bad idea to have compressor working on files at the same time as export from FCP?

    I’ve got loads of sequences to do today and I wanted to start Compressor before the FCP batch has finished.

    Cheers

    I don’t know if that is possible, but you can send the file directly to compressor, skipping the render out to quicktime step.

    I have never had luck doing this on my machine, and I like an archived version of the finished project before compression so I’ve never bothered to do it that way, but you should give it a whirl.
