Thanks man, I will try that in the future. Compressor can be such a headache sometimes.
I actually finally got it to work by dropping an old preset for converting 60fps down to 24fps (which I created years ago). It worked but you could see the frame blending, so i changed the 24 to 29.97, re-saved it as a new preset and now its working flawlessly. What’s weird is that the new preset I just created is exactly like the old, step by step, but for what ever reason this one is now working whereas the other did not. Whatever…
Thanks for the help though!!
