Thanks guys.
May be a little misunderstanding, I’m not compressing it out of FCP. I’m just trying to export a full size QT file (which I will then compress for specific platforms using compressor or Mpeg streamclip later)
For some reason my computer is unable to simply export a self contained QT file. Really confused as I have always done this, with no problems in the past. I have tried lots of different settings but none seem to work. The time just goes up and up and the whole thing grinds to a halt.
