Titles squeezed when export from 16:9 FCP project but video OK

Hi,

I'm using Compressor to output a small QT file from FCP 5.1.4 to stream on the web; the source media is DVCPROHD 16:9. When I use the H.264 LAN presets, the video is displayed in the proper aspect ratio but the titles are tall and thin...any suggestions on how to correct this?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,
There is something wrong with the way Compressor handles stills & titles.

The only workaround that I have found is to export titles separate using "Export-Using QT Conversion", and then paste them into the resulting QT file created by Compressor... Really convoluted and time consuming when dealing with a lot of files and a lot of titles.

It would be great to hear from Apple about this issue.

Thanks for the info. I did the same thing and it worked (QT Export), but still no luck with Compressor, which is what I'd rather use.
