Hello. Yes replacing the files with DV makes the most sense instead of trying to mess around with compression settings. & more yes yes that is what i am doing (films hd, captured, etc). And yes normally I do export from FCP into Compressor but I was trying the whole “export a .mov and drop it into Compressor” to save some time. However, quality is what I’m going for so I will go back to exporting straight into Compressor.
However, one question. In Compressor, for GOP settings, I can’t change any of the GOP settings. All of the settings are grayed out and can not be selected or clicked. Hmm.
