Using Compressor from Final Cut Pro 6 to make a small, quick-loading file (not high quality).

From FILE in FCP

select Export, then

select Using Compressor

Compressor fires up.

Lower left is a 2-tab window. Probably best to move this window to the upper right so you can see way down to the bottom of it.

Select SETTINGS (now we go way down, down, down)

Select Apple

Select Other Workflows

Select Web

Select Web Videocast

Select H.264 Webcasting

Drag it into the window upper left which may be called

“Untitled” or “Untitled 2”

Read the report at the bottom of “Untitled” and see if the number of Jobs and Targets are both “1” (one) and if so click on SUBMIT.

If not, then select “Destinations” and choose where you want the finished file to go, and drag that to “Untitled” -- the left top corner window, and then, if the numbers match, click on SUBMIT.

You get a window to adjust the name of the new file, which should be a .mov, and after you have done that, a window appears showing the frame count progress, from 1 to the number of frames in your movie (seconds x 30) and be sure to let it go on and on. Takes a long time.
