The US production industry has certainly been FROSTY with regards to X and Apple for a while. Are other markets similar? Or are they more welcoming and therefore increasingly competing with we US editors for market force?
Just to observe that on the FCPX Apple Discussion boards there is a pretty high proportion of non-US posters. (As a guess, maybe one out of four?) Don’t know how indicative that is about usage in non domestic markets…perhaps it only reflects the limited options for support overseas. But the software seems to have at least a toehold in many markets outside the US.

For me,the Vimeo/YT presets (with a few minor changes) in FCPX and Compressor have worked quite well. As an experiment, I’ve tried uploading a Pro Res file; IMO, it wasn’t worth the extra upload time…at least for that one test.

1)Yes. Keep that MPEG2 setting.
2) Yes. The other optical media alternative is Blu Ray.
3) Compressor will make the needed adjustments.
4)In Frame Controls, set Resize Filter to Best.
5) If you use Compressor to burn, the video will play by hitting the play button with your DVD remote.Russ

I would make a disk image (Output device>Hard Drive).
Then you cam make as many copies as you want – when you want.

That shouldn’t be the case – with or without a Compound.
Perhaps something odd is going on during the scaling. Grab a handful of stills and edit to the timeline/
Select all and in the Inspector change Fit to Fill. Add transitions/ Make into a compound and see whether it works the way it should.Russ

The YT preset creates a .mov. Apple Device creates am mp4. Either will work, although in Compressor you have greater adjustment ranges with mov than m4.
In my view, setting the Resize Filter to best is a good idea for down-scaling fro HD to SD (example, creating DVDs).
The new Compressor is not much changed from the old, so whatever were your best practices before. I’d stay with now.
Streaming is in the Encoding tab; select Fast Start. It won’t affect quality.
I don’t know about Facebook video.

Exporting from as HDV should be fine.
In Compressor, nothing wrong with using either the 1080P or 720P Video Sharing presets. Compressor will change the shape of the pixels to square, de-interlace the movie, and transcode to H.264. If you don’t enable streaming, you’ll probably get a mild complaint from the YT Uploader.

Also, in Preferences, set Playback Quality to Better Performance.

Is the top level of your folder structure named CONTENTS?

Yeah. You need the 2.1.1 plug-in for FCPX, which works with 10.7 and 10.8, but which Canon didn’t make available for 10.6.
