Mac x264Encoder.component crashes
I recently downloaded the x264Encoder.component version 1.0.1 from mac’s website.
I am trying to use it to export as a H264 Quicktime Movie from FCP (PAL) using Quicktime Converision.
In the Video Compression Settings window:
– I adjust the frame rate to 24fps
– I adjust Key Frames to automatic
– I set data rate to automatic
– I set encoding to single pass (medium)Then I click on the options button which opens the Libavcodec settings window. As soon as I change anything in this window (or even if I click OK to the default settings in this window) fcp will crash – not straight away, but as soon as I ok the video compression settings.
If I don’t use these options (libavcodec settings) I can export without any problems using x264.
The problem is that I need to be able to set the Container Level Colour Adjustment to 5-1-6 Composite Pal/Digital 625 as I believe this will help my video to be viewed correctly over the inernet.
Does anyone know what my problem is? Can anyone take a rough guess? Any help at all would be appreciated as this is becoming very frustrating.
By the way, I am using FCP 5.0.4 and Quicktime 7.6 (not QT pro – Does this make a difference?)

From where?
[Olive Green] “I adjust the frame rate to 24fps”
Why adjust down from 25fps?
[Olive Green] “- I set data rate to automatic”
You DO NOT want to do that.

Who told you that?
You might want to have a look at some other applications to do the Job:
