I have a lot of experience getting 4 x 3 video squished down to just about anything for the web. Streaming, e-mail, you name it I can do it in my sleep.
16 x 9 is a whole other deal. Add in 720 vs 1080 and I need the help of a mathematician.
Does anyone have some tips for getting short clips (like 30 second spots) encoded down for proofing over e-mail--less than 10 MB? Using Quicktime pro I can use a lower bit rate to save file size but end up with a squished image (16x9 in a 4x3 hole). Once I was able to get it back to 16x9 but I can't find the process again.
I am just using the wrong program? Some have recommended Adobe Media Encoder but I can not find it as a stand alone. I run FCP hence the Quick time experience. I have dabbled around with Apple's Compressor but there are not many options for encoding to a web friendly file. It lacks control over a lot of variables.
