RE: Check to see if your distortion aspect ratio is set to 0 or another number. 0 is what it should be.

Apologies for my ignorance but how do I check this?

Hi David

Thanks for your message, I’m not that familiar with the compressor and am not clear which preset to use? I couldn’t see an AVI option.

My movie is 5 mins long so i’m assuming its okay to email.

One thing I did try is to export the movie as an mpeg 4 – (then I was able to reduce the image size) the file size reduced to 12mb. I then re – impoted the file back into FCP and changed the sequence size to fit the image then exported it again as an AVI – very long winded I know!
It did produce a more managable file size but the image quality had reduduced too much to be of use.

For future reference can you recomend the best file export for compressing footage to be viewed on the web?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO!

Thanks hannah.
