Slow Compressor

Once we send our video to the compressor, it is taking a long (hours) time to convert. The videos are less than 4 gigs. We deleted both FCPX and the compressor and then downloaded them again to see if this would change the speed of the compressor. No luck. Do you have any ideas.

Final Cut Pro X output video is several times the size of input video Even when I only make a few changes to a video, Final Cut Pro X creates an output file that is several times larger than the input file, even when I make sure that the resolution, frame rate, and output file format are the same. I bought Apple Compressor, but I do not see the option to get the file size down without cutting the resolution.

FCPX to Compressor - Compressor giving me only black? I asked this on the Compressor site, but haven't heard back. I've sent a project directly from the FCPX timeline to Compressor. End result was a 'black' video. No image. So I then made an FCPX version, directly out of FCPX, and THEN imported that master into Compressor to make a different codec version ... still the same, black frames. Just wondering if something has changed with Compressor in one of the recent iterations? A pain too, as I can't see how to export straight out of FCPX as a selectively set up format. The H264 coming out of FCPX is 5 GB as opposed the Compressor at 1.8 GB. At a quandary. Ben

Can you post a screen shot of your output settings.

Can you tell us more about the files please? What are the specs.

Where are you sending the files form?

The files we use are .mov usually at 1080p. We normally send the completed files to our desktop.
