Compressor (FCPX) aspect ratio dysfunction
I am a FCPX editor and I rarely use Compressor other than its presets. A broadcast TV client sent me a Compressor “Droplet” to run my final FCPX edit through to meet their specs. The FCPX edit sequence is at the HD standard of 1920x1080i @29.97 fps. The droplet is a settings preset for Compressor. The problem I am having is this; although the aspect ratio of the preset is clearly entered in properly as 720×486, the file renders out 640×480. This Compressor preset settings are SD anamorphic as well. Why is it not rendering out at 720×486, and at 640×480 instead?
Thank you! -

This is the FCP Classic or Legacy forum. Those of us stuck in the past on FCP 7 and earlier. You’ll want this forum:

BTW, AMAMORPHIC means squeezed. So the 16:9 image is SQUEEZED into a 4:3 frame…thus why it’s still 720×486. Full raster means unsqueezed. Thus Anamorphic HD is 1440×1080, and full raster is 1920×1080
