The Geometry tab, in Compressor 3.x, controls the size of your final compressed video. However, it also does much more. It converts 4:3 video to 16:9, 16:9 to 4:3 and allows you to scale your video to any size.
In this short, focused, video tutorial, Larry Jordan shows you how to use each of the three sections of this tab: Scaling, Cropping, and Padding. He illustrates how to properly set aspect ratios so your videos come out looking perfect. He also illustrates the differences between cropping and padding, along with how to decide which to use and how to set them. He illustrates all of this using both SD and HD video.
NOTE: This tutorial supports features found in Compressor 3 or later.
