Widescreen Flash movie dimensions
I have an exported FCP movie that is widescreen (1240×720) and I’m trying to compress a Flash movie out of it. I can put this through compressor at 320×180 and preserve the widescreen, but this is smaller than I want. When I try to input a multiple of these dimensions to make the movie 50% larger at 480×270, the On2 Flash video plug-in in Compressor doesn’t like it. I get zilch . . . won’t compress. Does anyone know if I can pick my own dimensions for outputting flash movies, or are there only certain dimensions setting it will accept? If so, what are the right flavors?
Thanks,
DAvid -

I use On2 Flix Pro, their standalone Flash encoder, which does allow creation of any size Flash video. So, its not a Flash thing per se, probably more likely a limitation caused by the integration with Compressor. Have you tried using it from inside QT Conversion or QT pro?

No, haven’t tried it from inside those two QT products. I’ll give QT Pro a try. Sure wish I had known this limitation of Flix Exporter before purchasing it. Makes it kind of a silly product.

David,
I work with QT source files that are 1280×720 – outputting to 640×360 using Flix On2 gives good results. -
Right, but 640×320 is larger than I want. Shooting for 480×270 or even a little smaller. And, I’m specifically referring to On2’s Flix Exporter 8, which I’m using inside of Compressor. Maybe you’re using the Flix Pro stand-alone product.
