From Final Cut Pro, choose File -> Export -> Export to Compressor. That will automatically launch the Compressor application. In the “Settings” window, choose Apple -> Formats -> Quicktime -> H.264. Highlight that preset and then drag it up to where it says “Drag Settings and Destinations Here.” After that, you can right click (ctrl-click) where it says “Source” and choose your own destination from the contextual menu. Click submit, and compressor will begin cranking away at the file. To check the status of the compression, you’ll want to open up the Batch Monitor.
I hope that helps. Best of luck!
