Compressor is cutting out frames!!
Hello
Using Compressor 3.5.3. I’m converting H264 960×480 animation quicktimes to prores LT 1920×1080 both at 24 fps. For some reason on certain clips one frame is being cut out of each shot. All of my clips have frame counter burn ins on them so easy to see that the last frame is being clipped out by compressor. I made a custom setting for the project with the frame size and codec and then put it on current fps and the frame controller off, then I did a test to change the fps to 24 in the qt options and still clipped the last frame. Any ideas on what might be happening? Also I used mpeg stream clip and it made the qts correctly but wasn’t preserving the aspect ratio that I need so I don’t think I can use it to convert the clips any ideas?
Thanks,
EmilyThanks,

I’d ask for other than h.264 as a source file. Can you get something better?

It might be worthwhile putting the frame controls on and selecting the settings you need. I don’t know whether that’ll help but I have had occasions when leaving the frame controls off didn’t do what I expected.
