So, this is what else I have found. I have opened up the projects that were working and the projects that were not. I have cross examined the settings the best that I could. Nothing looks out of the ordinary in that area. But, the one that was coming out crappy was having black bars above and below in the canvas in FC. The one that was not. Just the usual grey background in the canvas. I started over with a new project/new sequence and reimported the video clips that were in the bad project. the black bars were gone this time. When I open up new projects, FC says that I should adjust my settings to what my video is and I always do. Is there a way to set that up as the default so that it is always those settings up starting the application?

Thanks for the suggestion but the more I think about it…I don’t think that any of that is going to help. Here are two examples of what I am getting when I export via compressor. If it were my settings….why would it be right sometimes and not the other. I just don’t understand what I am doing in FC to get the different out comes.
Keep in mind. I am in no means a professional. So don’t judge the video quality. I am just trying to learn something new.
On this first video, I did everything like I always do but it changed with compressor export.
On this second video, same approach, same compressor settings, and it came out fine.
Could it be some edits that I am doing that could be distorting things. What should the settings be under the motion, distort tab?

You were correct! Looks fine with exported with quicktime. I just wish that I could get rid of the letterboxing. Don’t understand why it did it though. It would work with the same settings sometimes, actually most of the time. Any suggestion of the correct settings to use if I am trying to keep the 720 quality but upload to vimeo/youtube? I researched it online and got my current settings but obviously they are not consistent. Find that strange though. I would like to get rid of the letterboxing as well. I don’t like it when I have to see them when the video plays with quicktime. Any suggestions on that as well. It really kills the quicktime player “full window” playback feature.
Thanks again for your help!
