Using Apple Final Cut Pro X
When working in Final Cut Pro X, you can send your clip to Apple Compressor
and then use the Matrox MAX H.264 Compressor settings to export H.264 files
for Blu-ray, the web, and other mobile devices. For detailed information on Final
Cut Pro X- or Compressor-related subjects, see your application’s
documentation.
¦NoteThe Share feature in Final Cut Pro X for encoding using the Matrox
MAX H.264 codec in Compressor is not supported.
The Matrox MAX H.264 Blu-ray settings encode video only. Audio is not
encoded by the Matrox MAX H.264 codec when creating H.264 elementary
streams for Blu-ray. To include audio when exporting to Blu-ray format, you
must assign a separate audio setting to your source media file. However, audio is
encoded by the Matrox MAX H.264 codec when creating QuickTime files for the
web and mobile devices.
¦NoteWhen selecting a predefined Matrox MAX H.264 setting, any
modifications made to your source video’s frame size in your application must be
taken into consideration. For example, if your source video was cropped in your
application, your source video’s frame size is the cropped frame size and not the
original frame size.
The predefined Matrox MAX H.264 Compressor settings are separated into three
folders: Blu-ray, Fast Encode, and High-Quality:
•
Blu-ray Use these settings for all Blu-ray deliverables. The encoded file’s
extension will be .264.
¦NoteFor compatibility with most Blu-ray players and Adobe Encore, the
predefined Matrox MAX H.264 settings for Blu-ray use a simple GOP
structure.
•
Fast Encode Use these settings for fast encoding of QuickTime files.
These settings leverage your system’s resources with the MXO2 hardware,
resulting in even faster encoding times. The encoded file’s extension will be
.mov.
¦NoteIf your source video must be scaled for encoding and its aspect ratio
does not match the compression aspect ratio, with Compressor v3.5 or later,
