I have a 3 min video I need to put up in Vimeo. It's in HD and I would like to stream it in HD. I never really exported for the web, and I was wondering what is the optimal setting in Final Cut for this purpose. There is a 500 mb upload limit, and you can only upload once a week so I def want to nail it first shot. Thanks.

I usually use the QuickTime export option and sometimes compressor. Either tool is fine as long as you make a self contained file.

Export using the H.264 codec in the size of your HD project with ACC audio. If using QuickTime I usually start with auto for data rate and see where that leaves me for size. If the file is too big, check its data rate and dial it down in another attempt. Keep trying until you are under that 500MB limit.

Here are the Vimeo compression guidelines.
