Thank you for the suggestion. It encouraged me to look even more deeper into the program. I’m working with Final Cut Express HD and I don’t see any controls for the compressor settings. I see the info and the clip is 352 x 264 and the sequence 1 is 720 X 480. I don’t see any way to change the settings. Perhaps you can in the pro version. I read elsewhere in this forum that the program is a DV program and it sounds like I won’t be able to change the settings. Is that true? Is converting all my clips to DV format the solution?
