Hi all, I just bought my M1 MacBook Pro with FCP inside. As I was trying to export the video, I found that there is no "Master file" option like before, so I am wondering is there another way to change the exported file as mp4 but not mov please?
The 2 settings Al mentioned are "Faster" and "Better Quality".
The first is probably single pass or constant rate whilst the second is possibly 2-pass or VBR.
Regardless of the details, Better Quality takes twice as long and I have never been able to detect any quality difference so I always use Faster.
If there is any difference it is only likely to show up in areas of fast movement or highly complex and detailed images.
Use the Share>Computer option:
This is an output with two canned settings.
For greater control Compressor is required.
