Hi,
I am editing in FCX, using compressor to add chapter markers(settings: prores422 HQ or proxy); i export the project into IDVD (as .mov) setting the ratio on 16:9 but when i want to burn DVDs in iDVD my video previews as 4:3? What settings do I need to change (and where) to keep my aspect ratio 16:9?
Thanks
What format is your project? You've only given the codec.
hi,
HD 1440x1080i...
Try using the Apple Intermediate Codec. iDVD seems to understand that better. If it doesn't work there may be another way.
I don't have compressor, so I can't speak to that aspect, but what I have done is this. I export the media as ProRess 422 (I have used AIC in the past ). This export is full sized ( the same as the project settings ) . I then open iDVD and set the project settings for the DVD. Then I drag and drop the video that I exported into the iDVD project. Both ProRess 422 and Apple Intermeadiate Codec have wored very well for me. How Compressor handles things is not something I can speak to, but I would expect a simular work flow would work. I do not ever export right to iDVD. I always export the media then import it into iDVD.
If your iDVD project is changed from 16:9 to 4:3 you may have the wrong project settings in iDVD.
fcpx to idvd
