    Hello everyone,

    Thank you in advance for anyone that can help me with this problem. I am editing a 30 second commercial piece for a small organization and they have asked me to export the project so that it is 1GB. I been trying to get it to be a higher size but all I can get it 85mb, my timeline is apple proress 422HQ 1920X1080 square. If anyone can help me with this export question it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Did you EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE…and check SELF CONTAINED?

    A :30 export, ProRes HQ…is 633MB on my end. That’s about as big as it’ll get. 85MB? yeah…I bet you are exporting a REFERENCE QT.

    Sorry for the wrong answer, I have made it self contained and when I export using apple proress 422 1920X1080i the video does give me a 638mb but the video stops in between the piece.

    Is your footage ProRes HQ too? or is the footage H.264 in a ProRes sequence?

    yes, my footage is 1920 × 1080 Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Linear PCM, Timecode duration 31 and it stops at 24 but audio continues. I just did a send to compressor and apple proress HQ and it worked!! I don’t know why it was giving me trouble in FCP. It is now 613.3MB! Thanks a lot for your response! it means a lot that you helped me! Is there anyway of making this go even bigger in compressor? Thanks a lot! for everything Shane!

    [Jorge Hernandez] ” Is there anyway of making this go even bigger in compressor?”

    Why? What will a larger file get you? Yes, the client asked for 1GB, but :30 of ProRes HQ won’t get to 1GB. Just tell them this is full quality, and be done with it.

    My file was larger, I’ll wager, as I had 8 channels of audio…and you most likely had 2.

    I just want to make it at least the same file size as the old one which was 614.3 MB with a bit rate of 157,487. Mine is 613.3 MB with a bit rate of 157,402.

    I found a way by raising the bit rate in the audio section
