Compressor • Very Very Simple Tutorial

Here I show one or two extremely simple things on how to use Compressor as from Final Cut Studio from Apple.

I use Final Cut Pro to edit my videos and if I need to shrink the file size down for YouTube (I used Compressor for this tutorial by the way..) I will use Compressor to make it into an MPEG-4 file for uploading...

I hope you find it useful and I hope you enjoy the video. I am not an expert in these fields, it's just when I first got the new-ish Compressor (from Final Cut Studio 1, which will have been Compressor 2.0 I think...) me and my friend at college could not work out how to add items to the menus etc, but once you know, its really easy and I think anyone can do this too..

Info:
I used Compressor 3.5 in this video...
and Screenium to record my screen. Great little app 'til I upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard hehe, where I can use QuickTime to screencast LOL

Enjoy, and please rate and comment if you like it ツ

Mine won't start it just says '-:--:-- remaining' :(

@CaveNuggets I've never had this problem before, and never heard of it. Do any of the other apps like Final Cut Pro work okay?

[iamtimthegreat]

Where is mpeg 4? I cannot find it anywhere?

[FinalCut6]

@iamtimthegreat Mine's just in the Apple folder in the app...

H264 is good also.

is there an easyer way ?



[FinalCut6]

@osamahmj There is a thing called Batch Template Droplet, I used it once (it runs off Compressor, just a smaller app.) I reverted back to Compressor..

Thank you so much!

I just learned about Compressor & was getting frustrated since it wouldn't work for me.

I was dragging it to the wrong spot.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

How did you setup a cluster? Mine won't work otherwise. The only option I have is none.
