Adjust the pixel aspect ratio of an image sequence job before transcoding
Because all still-image types require square pixels (a pixel aspect ratio of 1.0), Compressor may
have to alter the pixel dimensions of an image sequence job. To view or adjust these parameters,
select the target in the Batch window and click the Geometry button in the Inspector. If you plan
to use the image sequence in an application that can be set to a specific size and pixel aspect
ratio (such as Motion), make the appropriate changes in the Geometry pane before encoding.
1
In the Batch window, select the image sequence target.
2
In the Geometry pane of the Inspector window, use the Frame Size pop-up menu to choose the
appropriate output dimensions (such as 720 x 480, 1920 x 1080, and so on) for the image sequence.
3
In the Pixel Aspect pop-up menu in the Geometry pane, choose the appropriate pixel aspect
ratio for your image sequence.
For more information about the Geometry pane, see
on page 179.
Note: You can see the current contents of your setting by viewing the Summary pane of the
Inspector window.
