  Compressor: Changing the order of Geometry and Filters

  Posted by Dan Shott on October 24, 2008 at 9:24 pm

  Hey everyone,

  I’m wondering if there is a way to change the order in which the Geometry and Filters tabs are applied within Compressor.

  What I’m doing is I have a HD video source and I want to use Compressor to encode a letterboxed SD DVD with burn in TC. I change the aspect ratio in the encoder to 4×3. Within the filters tab I turn on the timecode generator (set it to Upper Right Title Safe, 48pt font) and then to correct the aspect ratio in the Geometry tab I set Output Image Inset>Padding to 16×9 1.78:1. Everything looks right, except the top half of the numbers are cut off by the padding.

  Is it possible to have Compressor apply the padding first, then look at the filters to put the timecode burn in on top of everything as a last step?

  Thanks!
  Dan
