  Compressor Resizing issue

  Posted by Adam Carrier on June 30, 2011 at 7:47 pm

  I’m trying to deinterlace and resize my 720x486i ProRes422 video into 720x480p ProRes422. However, the resulting encode looks like the attached image. The original footage is there, but there’s a white rectangular block on the right side of the image.

  For the resize, Compressor is cropping 4 pixels from the top and 2 from the bottom. I understand this is the standard way to do this and keep the field dominance the same.

  I have no idea why this is happening. Has anyone seen this before?

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  whoa! that is odd.

  Is there any particular reason you’re nipping off the 6 lines and making it progressive?

  Hi Chris:
  I’m trimming the 6 pixels (4 from the top and 2 from the bottom) to convert broadcast video for edit and then final output for an MPEG2 media player appliance. The MPEG2 video I get from Compressor will have green artifacts if I use 720×486 as my input dimensions.

  The white rectangle thing is just odd. I’ve never encountered it before.

  I’m going to see if Adobe Premiere can output the 480p I need without the rectangle issue –as I’m thinking of switching to Premiere anyway after this whole FCPX storm.
