    I apoligize here’s the link from second link ffmpeg. https://youtu.be/DT6uKoRxUxM

    what do you think Final Cut Pro first link or FFMPEG second link which sounds best? The Thing is do Still image videos as you can see (Music + Image) and I use Final Cut Pro pro res 422 it sounds good but it takes about 25 minutes to 30 minutes to upload on YouTube I just want to stick to whatever you think sounds?

    Both links are bad.

    But I’ve been own this road before. FFMPEG isn’t going to give any better audio or image quality than FCP, in general. For YouTube, H.264 gives you all the quality you’ll ever need. ProRes for YouTube is a bit overkill and wastes time with overly bloated video files.
