All the standard Final Cut Pro and third-party video codecs installed on your system are available. Some codecs let you choose additional options, such as bit depth or color versus grayscale. <br \/>* Quality: Adjust the slider for the level of spatial compression you want. Some codecs may not allow you to choose this setting.<br \/>* Frames per second: Define the frame rate of your exported movie. This doesn&#8217;t need to match the frame rate of the clip or sequence you&#8217;re exporting. The file quality is improved if your new frame rate is evenly divided into the original one.<br \/>* Key frame every_ frames: If your selected codec uses temporal compression, you can select the rate. Increasing the number of frames between keyframes increases the amount of compression and makes the final file size smaller. <br \/>Depending on the codec you use, the movie file&#8217;s quality, especially for clips and sequences with a lot of motion, may decrease based on the number of keyframes specified. Other codecs, such as Animation, are lossless, and there is no loss of quality. A setting of one keyframe every ten frames is a good starting point.<br \/>Note: If you&#8217;re exporting a high-resolution movie for broadcast, consider avoiding the Keyframes option since it&#8217;s generally not used with material for editorial purposes.<br \/>* Limit data rate to: With some codecs, you can enter a target data rate for your compressed QuickTime file. The codec uses a combination of spatial and temporal compression to try to reach your target. Be aware of your frame size and frame rate so you don&#8217;t set an impossible goal and possibly get disappointing quality in the visual image.<br \/>* Options: Click here to set additional options, if the selected codec supports them.<br \/>Filters:<br \/>QuickTime filters apply to your entire exported clip or sequence. This is different from applying a filter within Final Cut Pro, where a filter is applied only to selected clips or parts of a clip. For more information on QuickTime filters, visit Apple&#8217;s QuickTime Web site at http:\/\/www.apple.com\/quicktime\/<\/p>\n<p>* Load: Click here to use a filter you&#8217;ve saved, such as one used in an earlier project.<br \/>* Save: Click here to save a filter&#8217;s settings, if you might use them again.<br \/>Size:<br \/>You can use the current frame size of your clip or sequence or specify a custom size. <\/p>\n<p>Note: It&#8217;s a good idea to keep your frame sizes divisible by four if you&#8217;re using highly compressed codecs such as Sorenson or Cinepak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[22301,22303],"manufacturers":[33184],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
