Text Aspect Ratio Shifts Through Compressor
I often use the text tool in FCP for simple titles. I’ve noticed that if the sequence setting is anything other than square pixels, if I export the sequence through Compressor directly from FCP, then the aspect ratio of the text changes. If the source was 16×9, it gets stretched vertically taller and looks all funny. If the source is 4×3, it’s not as bad, but it gets squished so it’s shorter.
I’m usually rendering 16×9 footage out to a H.264 file at 640×360. My 4×3 footage is 720×480 and compressing to 640×480.
My work around is to render a self contained or reference movie out of FCP, then use Compressor to compress it.
I want to see if anyone else is having this problem before I submit it to Apple.
Thanks!

I’ve been exporting directly from FCP timeline since v.5 without a problem. I’m mostly going from DV-NTSC to MPEG-2, though. Many many times without any problems and I’m particularly picky about such things.
