Chapter 10, Using the Matrox MAX H.264 Codec
°To assign a Matrox MAX H.264 setting:
1 In Final Cut Pro, select the clip or sequence that you want to export.
2 Choose File > Share.
3 In the Share window, select Other from the Output Type menu. This
opens the
Settings window that contains the Compressor settings.
4 In the Settings window, select the desired Matrox MAX H.264 setting.
5 If you’re exporting to Blu-ray format and you want to export audio as well,
you must add a separate output for audio in the
Share window, and then
assign an audio setting to that output. Matrox provides predefined audio
settings for each of the Matrox settings, however, you can choose to use
another audio setting.
6 Export the output(s) as you would normally.
