    Hey guys,

    I’m trying to get the best possible looking video to post on vimeo. My clips are HD (for the most part, for my reel) and every time I send the sequence to Compressor from FCP, it comes out of compressor looking squished (like the picture is an acordian and someone squeezed it).
    FCP sequence settings: frame size 960×702, pixel aspect ratio: HD(960×720)and for compressor I’m using the H.264 Webcasting setting.
    Please help!

    thnx,

    colin

    After you apply the H.264 preset you’re using, select it and in the inspector, change the geometry to be 16:9 after clicking on the geometry button in the Inspector.
