    For YouTube and Vimeo I would suggest 720p mp4 (H264). That’s what they prefer and it plays well on most devices.

    You really should be asking your client what delivery format they require. Let them ask the questions because if you get into it and somewhere down the line it gets rejected as “wrong format” it will be your problem – and reputation.

  • Hi Matt, sounds quite an adventure. This is the perennial problem of the traveller. I did my trip many years ago before things went digital. I traveled light and the only thing I bought other than food was film for my camera which I used to post back home from time to time. In your situation you could just buy more SD cards, they are very cheap these days, virtually indestructable and don’t take up much room.

    Or, ask your brother to get something like a WD My Cloud. Once set up you can access it from anywhere and upload or download as you wish. The advantage is that if you are talking about 10TB that’s an awful lot to get back from a cloud server. Whereas having your own sever would mean all your files would be there waiting for you when you eventually get back.

    Personally I always use Compressor first because there is so much control over the encode and when the assets are brought into DVDSP the job finishes far quicker than otherwise. However, things do get screwed up sometimes but a quick scan by Digital Rebellion’s Compressor Repair does the trick.

    Unfortunately something has to give if your disks are full :o(

    You saved it to your desktop? That file will be huge. No wonder things went so badly. If you can, copy that file to your external, then delete the original from your boot disk.

    What is the exact name of the file you exported

    Christopher, you are of course right, but after Daniel has spent three days exporting this and has only 5% left to export I have in mind that if what he has exported can be made to play, he could go back to FCPX and do a fresh export of the remaining 5% and then stitch the two together outside FCPX. That would be easy in QT7 but my guess is that he has QT10. But first things first. :o/

    That’s not likely. Sounds like a fatal error has occurred if it’s asking to quit. You could try Command Z to undo whatever you did last but I doubt anything will work at this stage. If you have to quit out of it check how much free space you have on the disk you were exporting to. If all is well there check your Quicktime export. Does it have the quicktime icon or a folder icon?

    Well, this puts everything out of the window. Your media files are on an external disk, right?
    When you chose to export you chose “Share > master file” yes?

    Like Chris said, this is the wrong forum and we are giving the wrong answers. I feel for you though as you’ve been at this for a few days but let us know your setup so that we may yet salvage things.

    Ditto.
