Well I can compress it down to whatever I want. The final steps and final output arent a problem ... I just want to set the frame size of the project before I start so that I dont have to resize/distort the source material just to then export it down at its original size.
I just can't believe that setting the frame size of a project is a "pro" feature. I mean ... that's SERIOUSLY messed up. A $300 editor should be able to set the frame size for Pete's sake. <<rant>> sigh ... Premier elements is 1/3rd the cost it can set frame size. I also played with LiveType some this weekend ... and while it is a very cool/powerful application the workflow to actually use it is MUCH more painful than adding a key-frame-able title in Premier elements. LiveType may be able to do more, but if you want just a title you can animate/fade/etc ... its just way more difficult than it should be IMHO. Anyway ... don't believe the hype that creative things are SO much easier and more intuitive on a Mac. :P I'm gonna have to consider now a crazy-expensive editor ... just so that I can set a frame size. Pppht. I wonder if apple knows there are new mac users who are finding its actually easier to just go back to the PC in order to create their movies. <</rant>> On 7/2/07, randulo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is a PITA, but with an added step in the workflow (the last step, > usually), you can use a format converter to adjust the size.
