Why is the compressor preview always 4:3?

Hd or SD? if HD what flavor?

Same than QT. Display every kind of pixels as squared.

Josh,

1. Have you changed the Aspect Ratio setting under the the Encoder tab in the Inspector? Its not automatic.

2. The two very tiny buttons at the upper-most right hand side of the viewer are switches that chage the viewer. The first one show the aspect ratio of the source (or input), and if you click on the second one, it shows the aspect ratio after your chosen settings have been applied (the output).

If you click the second one and it is not showing the proper 16×9 aspect ratio, then your settings are wrong.

David,
Thanks God, you fly on top of us. No idea that was possible. The truth is that, apart of for setting Chapter Markers, I don’t see much useful the Compressor viewer. And is easier to do that in FC.
BTW, I sent you few weeks ago a clip about “Fighting for the control of FC” . I wonder if you watched it.

I did, but I got a horrible case of stomach flu last week that knocked me senseless, so I can’t remember it now. I’ll check it out again tomorrow.

But as I told you in that post, my real problem are the ants.
I will try to document it and post it. Perhaps we (you) should open a forum about “Digital Biodiversity”.

Hi David,

thanks yeah i tried this before. In the encoder tab I change it to 16:9.

But in the preview it still doesnt change to 16:9 when i click on the upper most right buttons.

What gives?

Thanks if you can solve this one.

Dude, Hd or SD? If HD what kind? If Sd what kind? Please…
