DanC1 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hi all, I'm new here and very new to dslr video making. I recently went on holiday to France and made a short video of my trip rock climbing. I filmed it on the bmpcc in proresHQ and practiced grading in fcpx on my MacBook Pro. It was only short 2mins and I shared it to Vimeo from fcpx. There seems to be some significant quality changes during this including the video seeming weird as it cuts between shots. I have previously tried compressing with handbrake to h264 codec then uploading as per Vimeo guidelines but the quality is even worse when I do this. I wondered if anyone could help / advise me on best way? Cheers. Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 What are your render settings at on FCPX? I had a similar problem and realized I had my render settings set to h.264, so I guess (I'm not really much of a tech head) with FCPX compressing it and then Vimeo recompressing it, it is creating an issue.

DanC1 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks for the replys, I think when you share directly with Vimeo it chooses the settings for you - as you don't create a file on your computer. I assumed Vimeo optimised the settings this way but it seems not to work that well and I see so many great quality videos on Vimeo I wondered where I was going wrong! I'll definitley try rendering a prores proxy file and then uploading that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
