Export in HD using Compressor for Youtube - Custom File Size.mov

[DJtheDaniel]

Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me if this a typical scenario with compression using this method. I have just under 15 minutes of video which I have edited in Final Cut Pro. I shot with my 5D MKII in 1080 (30fps), and converted those files into ProRes422 for my edit. The video has no filters except for a fade in-out at beginning and end, and some small credits which I made in AE. My estimated time for compressing as of now is 7 hours to get this file under 2gb. Is this typical?

Hello - Im trying to get a video I edited thats ~12 mintues long into a HD file thats under 1Gb because I would like to upload to FB, i have uploaded it to youtube with an h.264 @5.96GB and continued to mess around in the export settings to get it lower but I cannot get it below ~2.4GB. Its shot in 720p @ 60fps, is there a good codec or settings I can use to keep it in full HD and get it under 1GB?

@TheKaeosm If you follow everything I explain in this video you should be able to do it. The most important thing is limiting the bit rate. I'd assume to somewhere around 3000-5000 Kbits/sec.

@DiCasaFilm Did You Put The Video In 1080p With Compressor ?

[DiCasaFilm]

@NewEraTrackz I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean.

[NewEraTrackz]

@DiCasaFilm did u use compresser to export the video in 1080p or did u use final cut ?

Thanks for the tut! I was avoiding Compressor, and using Share > h.264 with Handbrake to compress my videos. I'm exporting my first reasonably-sized HD video now. Thanks!

Thanks steve, great vid! I shoot on the T2i. What are your thoughts... I just finished editing an interview and the final movie looks all choppy and is really not looking to good. Do you think it was because I shot in raw? How do you usually shoot? Should I shoot in a smaller format. If you check my channel, it's the milton miller, 100 days of madness video. Thanks man !!

hey i am trying to compress a raw .mov file into a smaller file. I used the compressing format you used in this video, and when I press submit, the submit button is grey and I cannot press it. Can you please help me?

[DiCasaFilm]

@slushfilmz I'm sorry man, I've never heard of that problem. Try re-checking your settings and make sure you have the destination of your file set to some place that has enough disk space.

@DiCasaFilm

Still doesn't work man...thanks for the help. Also another question, is there a difference in quality of FCP's compressor and Compressor's compressor?

[DiCasaFilm]

@slushfilmz That sucks, I don't know what to tell you. And that's a really good question. I honestly have no idea. I don't think it's a matter of one being better than the other - I think it's more of Compressor giving you more options and a more in-depth user interface. FCP won't tell you the estimated file size, FCP doesn't tell you how long until the compression is complete - just two examples. But when it comes to the actual compression I don't think there's a difference really.

sweet thanks!
