I found that the Prores 422 could be changed into photo-jpg, but since I'm newbie I have doubts that this will be the right setting to get a Photo-Jpg. Maybe there is any other way.

also would like to create a preset called Photo-Jpg when I found the way to get it, and store somewhere in the presets, I see there are custom presets but I cannot find a way to create a new one with this preferences. Can you pleas help me ?

To make a custom setting. Choose Quick Time Movie for Format. In Video, change the QT Settings which opens up the QT dialogue. In the Compressor drop-down, choose Photo JPEG. Use the Quality slider to adjust bit rate.

Good luck.

Hi Russ. I want to "store" the custom setting as a "new setting" that could appear in my list of presets.

You can create scores of custom settings and they will be stored in the Custom section of the Settings list. The technique is to duplicate a built-in preset. Make whatever adjustments you need in the Inspector to video and audio parameters. For example, change the Frame Size, Frame Rate, codec, bit rate. Give the setting a descriptive name and then re-use it as many times as you need to,

And as for the "Quick time Movie" is not an existing preset in my drop-down list. I have

The QuickTime Movie setting is available from the Drop Down menu, which you get to by clicking the + button bottom left.

Good luck.

just want to make sure that the new custom created setting will be there "forever"

Well, forever is a long time. 😉 But you'll find them in your Home library, in Application Support, in the Settings sub-folder of the Compressor folder. You could back up that folder (just make a copy) to be doubly sure.
