Compressor 4 with an FCP X project containing Optical Flow

I'm trying to export a project I've made using Compressor 4, but it doesn't seem to include the optical flow sections in my project. The retiming has worked fine, but instead of the smooth optical flow the frame rate is at half-speed (as I've slowed it down to roughly half speed).

How can I get compressor to export with the optical flow sections working correctly?

 

Awesome, thanks for the reply. Yeah that looks like that'll work, it did the trick with a test clip. I'll run the real thing now.

In terms of preserving quality, is it better to export from FCP X as the standard ProRes 422, which is what I've been using, or would ProRes 422 HQ or even uncompressed 10-bit be better?

And I have to say, compressor is making my iMac look terribly slow! Plenty lag when selecting settings etc, up to 10 seconds. Do people with excellent mac pros still experience this, or is it a compressor issue?

 

My settings seem a bit different to yours..

File format: MPEG-4?
Video compression: H.264 baseline profile?

Destination is YouTube, so it'll be compressed hard anyway, but still want to preserve what quality I can.

I compressed the full project, it worked fine - thanks for the help! Quality looks good, now to see how it'll look on youtube.

 

I gave that a go, it's a much higher bitrate! My video is 1:30 long, with MPEG it's 330 MB and with Quicktime it's 2 GB. Maybe I need to turn down the quality a bit because this upload time is going to be huge at 100 KB/sec.

 

I'll just go for best quality. Considering how fussy I was about using archives of original media to generate ProRes 422 clips.. may as well go all the way and upload in best quality. Don't think I'll regret it.

On YouTube they have a guide on uploading MOVs to optimise quality - see here:

Yours was the same for most part, one of the differences though was that they want a constant not variable bitrate for the sound. Not sure it's that significant though.

 

Do you reckon they compress audio to 128 Kb/sec? That's what they seemed to imply with their setup. I went to the effort of contacting the artist and getting a lossless version, but there really might not be much point if they're compressing it that hard.

 

Alright, cool stuff. I'll use Best Quality VBR then next time! Thanks for the tip.

EDIT: One other thing, you know how a lot of the videos have the link to the musician's iTunes page? How do you get that? Does it come randomly? Because I'm friends with the artists and want him to get credit.

 

Same track, but it's trimmed - I'm guessing youtube will still recognise this. Thanks for the help!
