Frame controls overview
Many transcoding jobs, as well as manual adjustments made in the Geometry pane of
the Inspector, change the frame size (resolution) of the output video file. Frame controls
in Compressor use advanced image analysis to apply the most appropriate reprocessing
methods in transcoding jobs that involve a change in frame size. Frame controls can also apply
deinterlacing, retiming, and other video-processing effects. Available in the Frame Controls pane
of the Inspector, these tools let you:
•
Convert video files between international television standards, such as PAL to NTSC,
or NTSC to PAL.
•
Downconvert high-definition (HD) video sources to standard definition (SD), or upconvert
SD to HD.
•
Convert a progressive stream to an interlaced one, or interlaced to progressive.
•
Make high-quality frame rate adjustments, including high-quality slow-motion effects.
•
Automatically remove telecine pulldown (reverse telecine).
You can apply frame controls to custom saved settings in the Settings tab or to a setting already
applied in the Batch window. When you activate frame controls, Compressor automatically
chooses the best parameter settings based on your selected settings. However, you can override
the automatic settings by manually adjusting the controls in the Frame Controls pane. For more
information, see
Apply frame controls to a setting
on page 167. For more information about the
controls in the Frame Controls pane, see
