Tutorial Overview
The world of high-definition video is filled with incompatible formats. If all you shoot is one video format, transcoding may not be necessary — though changing your render settings is often a very good idea. In this tutorial, Larry Jordan looks at what transcoding is. Simply put, it means to convert your video from one format to another — and why you should use it.
This session is the third in our Compression Complete series and provides specific examples of how to transcode media using both Apple Final Cut Pro and Compressor; including working with DSLR media.
This video does not discuss compressing media for the web or DVD. Here’s a tutorial that does.
Audience Level
This tutorial is designed for a reasonably experienced editor who is struggling to figure out how to work with high-definition media. It is especially helpful if you are working with multiple video formats, including standard-defintion video.
