Getting Started
1. Please make sure you have FCP7.0.3 installed (earlier versions of FCP have not been tested)
2. Please make sure that the Calibrated AVC-LongG Create Compressor presets are installed in the folder
For Compressor 3.5.3 use this folder:
/Users/[YOUR_ACCOUNT]/Library/Application Support/Compressor/
3. To preserve the maximum bit depth, please make sure you have the ‘Render 10-bit material in high-precision
YUV’ selected OR ‘Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV selected in your FCP ‘Sequence Settings’.
4. IMPORTANT: When exporting from FCP, if the number of output audio channels is smaller than the number of
FCP audio channels then each output audio channel is a mix of all FCP audio channels.
5. IMPORTANT: FCP7 cannot import AVC-LongG MXF files.
Using a Preset Setting for exporting in FCP7
1. In the ‘File->Send To’ menu options, please choose ‘Compressor’ option
2. And you’re ready to export – please go to the Compressor 3.5.3/4.1.2 chapter on how to export from Compressor
3.5.3 by using one of our ready-made presets or by creating your own preset.
