| Nov 9, 2017 at 0:19 | comment | added | MorkPork | Aha! Ive found out how to get it to export to prores 422, only I had it set to computer not video and audio, the only problem now of course is that the resultant file is going to be 38gb not 6! how do I reduce that?! | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 14:11 | comment | added | MorkPork | Possibly when I imported the videos from the avchd (imported directly into FCPX) I didnt do the optimise media option, would that remove it? | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 14:09 | comment | added | MorkPork | Any suggestions about how I can add it back in? I dont remember doing anything different when I installed FCPX, I originally had imovie but I didnt import anything from that, I downloaded a free version and then upgraded it after the month trial. Have tried creating a new library and new project and I can pick the 422 option when creating the new project but still no export option appeards :/ | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 13:39 | comment | added | Adam Mann Pro | @MorkProk it is taking so long because it is converting it to h.264 its odd you don't have a ProRes option as that's normally the default | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 12:42 | comment | added | MorkPork | The images are all png with transparent backgrounds | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 12:42 | comment | added | MorkPork | cheers for the photo, I only have h264 in that dropdown :/ | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 12:11 | comment | added | Adam Mann Pro | here is a link to an image of the export screen the "Video Codec" is what you need to look into, changing this will make things run faster or slower depending on the codec and format etc larryjordan.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/export041.jpg | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 12:10 | comment | added | Adam Mann Pro | the images dont need to be 1080p but it will impact the as it will have to resize them slightly. also depending on the file format ie: jpeg, raw, tiff etc will depending on what it has to do to render. | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 11:51 | comment | added | MorkPork | When exporting I always choose master but I cant see anywhere to select pro-res, where would I set this :/ | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 11:49 | comment | added | MorkPork | The images are 2k pixels high, could that possibly be whats doing it? There are quite a few of them in there and the timeline isnt rendered before I try and share it, would rendering it help? It seems to be taking an age to render to :/ | |
| Nov 8, 2017 at 9:50 | comment | added | Adam Mann Pro | What are the resolutions of the images ?, if they are very big being shrunk down to 1080 it will have to render every image. I run on a MBP older than yours with lower ram and I work with a mix of 4K and 1080p video and mine runs fine. if you export as a master file and choose prores does that make a difference ? have you tried removing the animations and transitions, does this make a difference to export? | |
