Apr 10, 2014 8:12 PM in response to David Harbsmeierby K.M.R.,That was very helpful and things seem to be working better, but now compressor tells me to restart my computer or veryify my compressor installation when I try to submit a batch. Any ideas?

Apr 11, 2014 8:59 AM in response to K.M.R.by Michael Grenadier,Here's what I do for youtube, Vimeo, etc.
I export a selfcontained qt as David H said.
I bring that file into compressor, I apply the apple: formats: quicktime: h264 preset and then customize it by setting in the encoder panel : video settings: video quality slider to high rather than best. This usually makes a file within the file size limitations with pretty good quality. By default the pixel dimensions and frame rate will match your fcp export.
