  • Final Cut Pro Help
    Sending from Final Cut Pro to Compressor You can export a Browser clip or sequence directly from Final Cut Pro to Compressor by using the Send to Compressor command. Exporting media from Final Cut Pro to Compressor works nearly the same as using Compressor as a standalone application. The main difference is that Final Cut Pro renders media directly to Compressor during the encoding process, so you don’t need to create an intermediate QuickTime movie. When Should You Export Directly to Compressor? The advantage of exporting a sequence to Compressor directly from Final Cut Pro is that rendering happens as part of the transcoding process, potentially saving you time and eliminating unwanted artifacts. Compression and chapter markers in your Final Cut Pro sequence can be included in the resulting compressed media files. When imported into DVD Studio Pro, the chapter markers automatically appear in the Track Editor. Depending on the length of the movie, the format you are exporting to, and your computer’s capabilities, exporting can take a significant amount of time. Another option is to use the Share feature in Final Cut Pro, which can process export sessions in the background. For more information, see Using Share. To send a sequence or clip from Final Cut Pro to Compressor 1. In the Browser, select a sequence or clip you want to export. If you want to export only a specific segment of a clip or sequence, set In and Out points in your clip or sequence. 2. Choose File > Send To > Compressor. Compressor opens and the sequence or clip you exported from Final Cut Pro appears as a new encoding job in a Compressor Batch window.

  • Freevlog Tutorial: How to Compress from Imovie with Quicktime 7
    Freevlog Tutorial: How to compress from imovie with QuickTime 7 Here we are in imovie and we have our video clip and I'm going to show you how to compress it. Go up to File>Share. We're going to get this little box over here and we're going to select, out of all these, select QuickTime. So that's selected. I think it starts with e-mail, there's "e-mail", "web", "web streaming" blah blah blah. You want to go to "Expert Settings" so we can set it the way we want it. And We're going to click "Share". It looks like it's compressing it, but we actually get this "Save As.." window. So we're just going to save it as, whatever you want to call it. I put stuff in a folder called "Outputs". Down here were it says "Export", we want to make sure it says "Movie to QuickTime Movie" and we'll set the compressor in there with our Options and right now I think it's on "Default Settings" but we're going to change those "Default Settings" with our Options. So click Options and we get these movie settings up here. We want to first start with the Video codec. We'll click "Video Settings" and right now we're at the H.264 codec. Just a note about H.264, this codec is for QuickTime 7 only. So if you don't have QuickTime 7, like in Windows, there is no QuickTime 7 for Windows yet. You should not use this because a lot of people can't watch it so the best codec for you to use is MPEG-4 Video.

  • The Logic Pro 9 Compressor Introduction to Music Production, Week 4
    The Logic Pro 9 Compressor Introduction to Music Production, Week 4 Joe Muscara - May 14, 2015 THE LOGIC PRO 9 COMPRESSOR - JOE MUSCARA "1 Introduction My name is Joe Muscara and I live in Houston, Texas where the Big Bopper’s classic hit “Chantilly Lace” was recorded at what is now arguably the oldest continuously operating studio in the U.S., SugarHill Studios. This lesson is for week four of Introduction to Music Production at coursera.org. I will show how to use the Compressor that comes with Logic Pro 9. Before We Begin Logic Pro is a very deep and powerful program. There is usually more than one way to do something, whether it be a menu item, a keyboard shortcut, or a cursor tool. If you’re familiar with Logic Pro, you may have a completely different method to do some of the steps I describe below. What’s important is that you use what’s best for your workflow. Also, while I am showing Logic Pro 9, these techniques are the same or similar in Logic Pro 8 and X. Consult your documentation for specifics. The examples below assume that you already have tracks or channels set up in a Logic Pro session and that you know some of Logic Pro’s terminology. If you want to try these techniques and you do not have a recording to work with, you can make a test recording with your built-in microphone, or you can use some audio (blue) Apple Loops. What is a Compressor? A compressor is primarily used to reduce the dynamic range of a recording, whether it be of an individual track, a submix of tracks, or the overall mix.
