MOV H.262 halving frame rate on compression
Hi guys,
I exported a MOV file through Apple Compressor: @ 25fps, H264, 1920×1080, 35 Mbit/s and PCM Stereo sound. I needed however to get a smaller version of the clip so I used compressor with the above file as a source. The output that I wanted was to be @25 fps, 1280×720, AAC audio (not quite sure about required bit rate).
After submitting the above in Compressor and choosing the option “frame rate same as source” I get a MOV file which complies with the above requirements however the 25fps are actually half, as every frame is repeated. This results in a jaggy futage as if it was 12fps and not 25fps (which its is)
I tried various settings in Compressor but seem always to get (effectively) half the input’s frame rate! There is nothing I can see in Compressor that would indicate this will happen.
Why is this? How can I get a real 25fps compressed clip?
Cheers

Try turning off the ‘Retiming’ and set the output explicity to 25fps. Is your source progressive? If so turn of deinterlacing
If that fails post the Compressor project and preset to https://www.yousendit.com so we can have a look at it.
