To zip the project file and send
it to your friend, who already has
the media files, find the project
file, control click, choose “compress”
and that zips it in a way that makes
it smaller and protects it for emailing.

very cool – did not know about that
send to compressor gives the same result as
exporting uncompressed and then pulling into compressor
but saves steps, right? (plus, let’s you do multiple clips
at once)
Thanks, Jason.

When I make videos for Youtube that are 2 minutes or under, it’s quick
and convenient to export a .mov file directly from Final Cut “Using Quick Time
Conversion”. That’s what I did with this 4-minute movie and I got the audio
drift.

I just tried it a new way:
1 – Export an uncompressed file using Apple Pro Res 422
2 – Use the “Youtube” settings in Compressor

And that worked.

(Still curious why AAC with both 44.1 and 48 created
audio drift – also very curious why there was no drift
in the .mp4 file that Youtube created but the drift was
there when it streamed)

John,
This is what I ended up doing since i could not get make multiclip
un-ghosted in the menu.
Thanks.

Original sequence settings:

720 x 480 NTSC DV 3:2
pixel aspect ratio: NTSC CCIR 601 – Anamorphic
Compressor: DV/DVC PRO NTSC

Copied and pasted into letterboxed sequence:

Frame size, pixel aspect ratio, compressor – ALL
settings same as above except Anamorphic is unchecked.

Looks good, aspect ratio fine, black bars on top and bottom.

Final step:
Export as Quicktime Movie
I tried Current settings, apple pro res, uncompressed, both anamorphic and not anamorphic, as well as custom 720 x 480.

The resulting file is squeezed every single time.
