Apr 30, 2015 12:40 AM in response to Jamieson259by Meg The Dog,It is kind of hard to tell what is going on from your screen shots, but a couple of things:
It's been a while since I used that version of Compressor, but you are resizing (correctly) the 1080 source to 720, and I believe there are settings for "Best" available to make the resize as high quality as possible.
The 5 Mbits data rate seems low to me. The Vimeo guidelines specify a rate between 5 and 10 Mbits for 720p, I'd set it to average at 8 and peak at 10. The scene with the ocean is a really tough scene to compress, because there is so much motion, throughout the frame, that it might be lowing the quality there to keep to the 5Mbits target.
Compression works by finding areas of the image where there is little or no difference from frame to frame - so a locked off shot of a person giving a speech at a lectern is much easier to compress than a scene with an ocean where there is movement and change on a frame by frame basis.
