    compressor will not maintain aspect ratio (web)

    Posted by Bob Torrez on February 4, 2007 at 10:17 pm

    I have a 24p movie in FCP 5.1.2 and compressor 2.3 mac g5 dual.
    Every time I try and export with comp. for web download or streaming
    compressor keeps giving me 640×480, I have set 25%-50% of source and it keeps
    giving me 4:3 (all footage is 16×9)
    Should I be converting my 23.98 16×9???
    any ideas?
    I have converted 16×9 1080i to 25% wide format with no problem.
    Thanks…

    Yeah, if you’re source is anamorphic while editing you will need to compress to a square pixel size when encoding for the web with most codecs.
