Thanks for the suggestions fellas. Unfortunately, I have to output to the PAL DV codec because I have to create a PAL master in DVCAM, which will eventually be transferred to DigiBeta for delivery to the distributor. Not my choice, it’s just what they want.
The “frame control” setting idea sounds like exactly what I need to do. However, since I’m a novice with Compressor, I’m not sure I know where to find it. Can you tell me where that option is?
