Wrong aspect ration exporting from Compressor
I am working with FCP 6 on my MacBook Pro, and exporting a 720p24 sequence through Compressor and going using one of the web download options for Quicktime 7.
It’s a 16×9 piece, and I am going into the geometry parameters to make sure it’s exporting for 16×9. I’ve done this hundreds of times before, but for some reason the finished product is not 16×9, but square, seemingly 4:3.
Anyone know where this bug might be coming from and how I can solve it?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Samath,
[Samah Bennett] “It’s a 16×9 piece, and I am going into the geometry parameters to make sure it’s exporting for 16×9. I’ve done this hundreds of times before,”If your master is 16×9 you don’t need to do nothing in the “geometry parameters”, but to set the proper size in Square pixels.
The “wide x high” of your web movie must ALWAYS keep the 16×9, so feasible sizes are for example:
– 160 x 90
– 320 x 180
– 400 x 270
– 480 x 360

You are absolutely right.
Should be:
– 400 x 225 (careful with the Macroblocks structure ).
– 480 x 270
– 640 x 360.
etc……
Thanks,

Samah,
Assuming you are using DVDSP, in the inspector, you get an option to set the track to 16×9. It works the same as having your m2v set stretched out.
Have a wonderful day.

Thank you gentleman. Exporting this video for the web, the problem was that i forgot the width x heigth calculus. changes for the web. listening to all of you reminded me of that, and helped me solve the problem and I really appreciate it.
