Final Cut Pro X - MOV
Getting Started
1. Please make sure you have FCP X 10.1.2 or greater installed
2. Please make sure that the Calibrated MPEG2-X Create Compressor 4 presets are installed in the folder
For Compressor 4.1.2 use this folder:
/Users/[YOUR_ACCOUNT]/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings
(Please note that is the Library folder from your User directory and you need to install the presets to every user
account that will use the presets)
If the presets are NOT in the above folder, you can either run the Calibrated MPEG2-X Create Compressor
presets installer or you can manually copy them to that folder from this folder:
/Applications/Calibrated/Presets/MPEG2X Create/Compressor 4.1/Calibrated MPEG2-X Create MOV
To clarify, you would copy the folder
‘Calibrated MPEG2-X Create MOV’ to the Compressor/Settings directory
above.
Please restart your computer if you had to manually install the presets.
3. Please note that if you are rendering using multiple render nodes (i.e. different computers) then each computer
would need it’s own separate license of Calibrated MPEG2-X Create.
Exporting in FCP X
1. In FCP X, you can choose to export using the
‘Add Destination’ option in the ‘Share’ menu and choosing a
Compressor setting, or you can choose to
‘Send to Compressor’ and export using Compressor. If you choose to
‘Send to Compressor’ please go to the section ‘Using a Preset Setting for exporting in Compressor ‘ in the
‘Compressor 3.5/4.1’ chapter in this User Guide after sending the job to Compressor on how to best setup the
export.
2.
After choosing the ‘Add Destination’ option and choosing the ‘Compressor Settings’ option, a window will pop-up
letting you choose which Compressor preset you want to use for the
export. In the window, open the ‘Custom’
folder.
3.
Under the ‘Custom’ folder will be the folder ‘Calibrated MPEG2-X Create MOV files’, please look under this folder
for the presets. Choose the preset that best matches your resolution, frame rate, and field type that you want to
encode into.
4.
And you’re ready to export
