Final Cut Pro 7 - MOV

1. Please make sure you have FCP7.0.3 installed (earlier versions of FCP have not been tested)

2. Please make sure you have installed the Calibrated MPEG2-X Create presets for Compressor 3.5

3. Please use the

‘Send to Compressor’ option in FCP 7 to export MOV files using Calibrated MPEG2-X Create.

Please see the Compressor sections in this chapter for more details.

IMPORTANT:

You cannot choose the ‘QuickTime Movie’ export option in FCP 7 – please use the ‘Send to

Compressor’ option in FCP 7 to export. If you try to export from FCP 7 using the ‘QuickTime Movie’
Option (i.e. not using Compressor to export) then I-Frame only export works but Long-GOP exporting will
give you an error when trying to export. Also (for reasons unknown), pressing the ‘Advanced’ button in
FCP 7 to get the Options for the Calibrated MPEG2-X Create codec will crash FCP 7.
