196 Chapter 15 Adding Frame Controls, Geometry, and Actions to a Setting
About the Frame Controls Pane
Use the following features in the Frame Controls pane of the Inspector to select and
adjust frame controls attributes that you want to assign to your settings.
Frame Controls
Use this pop-up menu to choose from the following Frame Controls options:
 Off: The default setting for most Apple presets. Choose Off if your Compressor
project does not involve changes to the frame size, frame rate, or field dominance.
 Automatic: Compressor analyzes the transcoding job (the source media file and the
applied setting), and then automatically determines the appropriate Frame Controls
attributes.
 Custom: Allows you to manually adjust all of the attributes in the Frame Controls
pane (below).
Note: In Automatic mode, frame controls technology is engaged in the following
two types of transcodes only:
 Transcoding from high definition (HD) sources to standard definition (SD) MPEG-2
output files.
 Transcoding from interlaced sources to H.264 for HD DVD (progressive) output files.
Resizing Control
Use the controls in this section to choose the algorithm with which frames are resized.
 Resize filter: Use this pop-up menu to choose from the following re-size options. This
decision is a trade-off between faster processing time and higher output quality in
projects that involve a change in resolution.
 Fast (Nearest pixel)
 Better (Linear filter)
 Best (Statistical prediction)
