Mods don't move this...you have been warned
So I'm exporting something thats about 15-20 minutes, and it's taking like 3 hours, I want that to be 25 mins
I'm exporting into h264 .m4v and I need the file to be about 100 megabytes
what settings should I use and should I use compressor or quicktime conversion?
 
Does it have to be M4V? Or will .mov do the trick? If .mov works then just use the h.264 at about medium quality and that should put you around the right size.

Now that I'm thinking about it more though I'm guessing you're going to put it on iTunes...If Final Cut is taking awhile trying exporting a h.264 .mov file and then opening it in Quicktime and exporting with the Itunes option....

Hope this helps.
 
I made a boo boo...

*If Final cut is taking awhile [with exporting a m4v] try exporting a h.264 .mov file and then opening it in Quicktime and exporting with the Itunes option....

 
use the quicktime conversion, make sure the size is right, put the quality to medium or low, probably low if your trying to get it that small, there are other tricks to making it look good but its really all trial and error, that will still look prime tho.
 
Use final cut to export a full quality file. Should take about 3 min, take about 2 gigs. Open it in quicktime and export from there. Final cut doesn't export web sized files as well as quicktime.
 
I wish I had the time to work out the likes of FCP and Premiere Pro. They are obviously really sick editing programs but I at the moment can only work iMovie HD. Coz i am retarted.
