Thanks… I discovered other incompatibilities between Adobe Media Encoder and Snow Leopard, so I downloaded another video converter, iSkysoft, and it worked like a charm, and at least 4 times faster.

I’m working on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, FCP 7.0.2.
There are many clips in the timeline which play perfectly without transitions. Once I place any transition it seems to start okay but then at right at the end of the transition it seems to pull a frame from the previous clip so the continuity of broken. The clips came from .vob files from a DVD that was provided to me from the videographer. I converted to .mov using MPEG Streamclip.
Please let me know if any additional information is needed.
Thanks.

Thanks, Jerry. I came in this morning to my office and realized that I had only previewed my last response to you yesterday, without actually posting… here is what I intended on posting:
Jerry: I gave it a few attempts and I think I finally ended up with exactly what I need… the secret was, as you indicated, cropping to a square shape in Compressor… it looks great. Thanks again for your assistance with this…

Now my challenge is to get it to .flv format. Since I’ve cropped in Compressor, the FCP file is in the 16:9 format. In the past when I’ve tried to crop exporting to .flv, using QT conversion from FCP, even with croppinig in the Flash format window that pops up, the image is still getting squeezed. I purchased DV Kitchen but that doesn’t have a cropping feature. Would you know of a way I could do this?
Thanks again, Jerry…

Jerry: I’ve tried many, many times to crop in Compressor but have never been successful. There are so many settings to account for. I went Saturday and Sunday to an Apple store and the “pros” there could not come up with a successful result. The best they could provide was to create a new sequence, filling in my size of 208x 224, selecting a pixel aspect ratio of HD (1440×1080), a QuickTime Video Settings Compressor HDV 1080i60, but when I exported to QuickTime Movie the file was 274×204, which still wasn’t 208×204.
I’ve also queried this forum about a year ago or so and was never able to get an accurate answer. These kinds of projects are picking up again so I was hoping to find a solution.

Not sure of the streaming format. It’s at https://www.iijwm.com. There is a video area in the left center of the page, it’s a reshoot of video tab #2, the woman.
I need to get it into .flv format, which I can do from Quicktime, unless you know of any better conversion method.
Thanks again
Harry

I’m trying to deliver a webstream that is cropped left and right, maybe top/bottom if necessary, so the central part of the picture will fit into the 208 x 204 area.
Thanks.

Yeah, I contacted them… and they said that they have professional people teaching there to earn extra money from their profession, and that if I wanted to contract with them I’d have to do it through the school at the rate of $1800 a day. I basically said, oh great, if I want some of these professionals’ advice, the school would have to end up getting a piece of my money too.
I now have a new vision of FMC and will try never to have any dealings with them again.

Yes, just that as a beginner, and trying all the filters/combinations of filters I haven’t found anything suitable and I would imagine a knowledgable Soundtrack Pro user could look at the file and get closer than I probably could to the best result… anyone know any audio engineers in NY city?
Thanks!
