Exporting h264 video from Final Cut Pro

Short video tutorial on exporting very high quality H.264 video from Final Cut Pro 6 using the AAC codec for audio. Video encoded to H.264 with AAC audio can give you a great output. These are typical settings that I have found to work for me.

Well this of course one way but the best way is to have full control of kps, for this you should use compressor or the export function of quicktime pro.

@Metagraffix - The export through Quicktime Pro is exactly the same as this, and you can limit the data rate. I just set the kbps to auto here for simplicity. Sometimes it's hard to know what you should limit the data rate to, so I like to use the quality slider and have Quicktime make the data rate decision.

Thanks for the comment.

I overlooked this in the FCPRO exporter. You are totally right.
