If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have accidentally shot larger than 1920x1080 and need to transcode it, Adobe Media Encoder provides users with the ability to transcode single clips or a bunch of clips all together.

Locate Adobe Media Encoder in the “Applications” folder.

 

You will notice the panel layout as such:

 

The easiest way to begin transcoding your incorrectly shot footage is to drag it from Finder into the Queue panel.

 Click on the underlined codec.

You will then be taken to the Export Settings window where you will then go ahead and change 

  1. The Format to QuickTime

  2. Video Codec to Apple ProRes 422

  3. Resolution to 1920 x 1080

Then change Output Name and save to desired location.

 Then hit OK

You’ll then be directed back to the Encoder where you will see the file now loaded up with the correct settings.

Go ahead and hit the green triangle at the top right hand corner to being processing.

Wait for your footage to transcode and you're done.

If you need to add more footage to the queue, you can just do the same by dragging them all into the queue panel and repeating the process.
