  • Media Composer 8 exports need to be converted then when they are they are the wrong aspect ratio

    Posted by Jeremy Logan on April 7, 2015 at 3:27 am

    Anyone heard of this export issue? I’ve spent several hours trying different export settings.

    That’s before being converted. When you open it in quicktime it forces a converting…

    …after which it comes out a wrong aspect ratio.

    Export Settings:
    Send to QT Movie
    QuickTime Movie
    Same as Source
    Video and Audio
    RGB
    16:9

    I’ve also Custom Settings as H264 and Apple ProRes.

    Footage is 16:9 720p MXF files, from a p2 card on a HVX200.

    The AVID project format is:
    720p / 23.976
    YCbCr 709
    1280×720

    That’s the OS doing the converting…because 10.9 and 10.10 cannot play back DVCPRO HD QT files…Only H.264 and ProRes…those it’ll open without converting. Anything else, it converts JUST to play it back. Annoying, yes.

    So don’t use QT to convert…use COmpressor or other compression software
