With my brand new GH3 I did a small video with the FHD/24p settings (1080p, 24 fps, 50 Mbps Bit rate). I imported the clip to FCPX without transcoding, applied some color corrections and I want to export the clip for viewing on TV (1080p). What are the best export settings to create a 1080p HD file encoded with H.264? Using the Compressor "HD 1080p Video Sharing" settings with Encoding set to "Best quality" and Data Rate to "Automatic" I get a file with a Data rate of 11.53 Mbps although the original file from the camera has a Data rate of 49.17 Mbps. I appreciate your comments.
Tom.
