Vegas, let's me modify any presets to create my own.....good to know though... Hmmm…that’s interesting, I am guessing that you can’t create your own preset out of FCP?

First, because you talk about us. But second, because I realize how rare it is to hear people discuss personal relationships in videoblogging. Articles and blog posts always seem to focus on the video itself. It's usually critiques that refer to the video as an art object or a TVshow/movie. I think this is what has always excited me about videoblogging: how the act of creating/sharing of videos affect people. How the best videos gets the creator engaged in their own life. The videos become openings for other people to enter. It’s funny for me to read this post.

I admire what you do Michael, I really do and I hope we can meet someday..

It's all captured on my harddrive though :) yes ryanne, it does. i got an ‘unofficial’ recording but i didn’t have the time (and actually the speed) to upload the +30 min video (+8 gigs of uncompressed video!) to the web for Michael yet.

But Compressor does works correctly now - at least the version in FCS 2. For some reason though the 480 x 270 900kbps, "iphone" preset isn't available in Compressor. Also, like you said, I like to export an uncompressed master anyway so this method works fine for me.

Good to know for the future. I've never come up against this as I always export an uncompressed master, much like you did, as an intermediate step and do all my encoding in Telesteream Episode, and set my frame size, rate and PAR there. I never go out of FCP to finals. Going via compressor may give you further options to correctly set frame size that direct export from FCP wont. Like I said, good to know, though. cheers Interesting.

Finish this project I'm on 11/3 and will be free 'til mid-November to play in 2L. Let's DO something. I'm at your service there for whatever nefarious art project you got going, blah, blah. :) Either that, or I'm trying to make a documentary and rather stuck. Maybe you could help me get unstuck.

Very interesting - and bizzare that Apple has never fixed this export problem. I didn't know about it as I've never needed to export for iPod, but good to know! Glad to see you showing the Command-J function in QT Pro to change aspect ratios...I use that a lot for fixing videos at work, one of my favorite tricks. Thanks for this, Verdi.
