What is the best way to make web formats (ogg, webm, mp4) with FCXP?

Hi,
I would like to make web video formats mp4, webm and ogg. I cannot share those from FCXP, so before converting them to formats mentioned before, I should share them from FCXP. Which share option or video codec do you suggest? (I'm using FCXP 10.0.8.)
Sincerely,
Rene

Usually best to export a master file. Make it the best quality before you encode it.

Thank you for your answer! Choosing "master file" which is the best video codec to take?

Probably ProRes.

I'd second Tom - my workflow is to export ProRes 422 masters, then compress in an external application. I mostly use x264 via Telestream Episode.

To be perfectly honest I've never bothered with WebM or ogg, though one of my clients' publishing workflows involves server-side transcoding to a wealth of formats. For them, we upload a high-bitrate H.264 as the publication master.

H.264 is recommended for web delivery. H.264 files are smaller than ProRes files and faster for uploads.

Here's a guide for Vimeo
And one for YouTube

I'm interested in Telestream Episode, but the $594 price tag is a little off-putting. What are its advantages over Compressor? Can you use it on more than one machine? Thanks.

Episode can encode High Profile and CABAC entropy for better quality. Compressor can't.
Episode uses either MainConcept or optionally x264, which is the best codec to use for quality.
Apple's H.264 is probably one of the least efficient available.
If you really need WebM Episode can do that as well.
Episode has excellent clustering capabilities but that does mean buying more licenses.
Compressor is inexpensive so it depends on what your overriding priority is.

IMHO the last thing the client sees is the "dub." Everything can be great but all that is devalued with a poor quality delivery.

That said if you're looking for a simple low budget solution the Free Handbrake, which uses x264 will do a better H.264 .mp4 encode that Compressor.

I usually export out to an H.264 10Mbps file at the size I want (using compressor) and then dump it into the free Miro Video Converter. Seems to work ok, although if you want the best, then you usually have to pay for it :dry:

It can with the x264 quicktime component installed. The component still works. Don't know how much longer that's going to be true, though.

True... for the time being as you note. Quicktime Components are going away That's why Perian is dead as well. I wonder if anyone playing with current builds of Mavericks can comment on whether QT Components are still viable.
