(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-08-23)

If I use Apple Compressor, I could just 'Send to Compressor', without first exporting a ProRes master.

However, I would like to use FFmpeg/x264 for better quality (at low bitrate).

Do I have to export the master first? It is 150 GB/hour and exceeds my remaining disk space. Or is there a 'streaming workflow'?
