16.2.2 FILE COPY AND FTP
The File Copy and FTP options are very useful output alternatives, effectively providing a live
distribution method that does not force you to wait until production ends to use them. These
features can be invaluable for collaboration, whether local or remote.
16.2.3 COMPRESSION
A feature common to both File Copy
and FTP publishing is the option to
compress video before sharing.
Enabling the Prepare for Web option
will encode files to a compact
progressive scan H.264 (MP4) format
suitable for the Internet. (Disable this
option when you wish to use the files
for post-production.)
16.2.4 WATERMARKING
To avoid misuse of private or copyrighted
media, you may want to add a watermark
before publishing it to public sites. The
Watermark feature allows you to select a
suitable custom image to overlay on your
output.
The image you select will be overlaid on shared video or still image
files. It should be a 32 bit still image file (supported formats include
PNG and Targa) that positions the watermark correctly in the frame taking into account the
resolution and image aspect of exported files.
