You can worry about that on export. For DVD, just use the presets in Compressor for DVD, particularly DVD 90 Min Best. For web, you'll need to export to the appropriate square pixel dimension. For example, DV...

[Pino Catalano] "Yes, and I said yes to allow FC to change the sequence to match the clip settings. "

Never having used a FC Express system, I can only give general advice. See the post below about iMac and FC. The system meets minimum requirements and seems fine except a bit shy on the RAM. I'd go for...

The method I recommend is to apply a filter set (including settings) to a Text generator. You can type some notes into the text field as an mnemonic.

[Collin Alexander] "Dennis' solution is great. I didn't know you could change the properties in Quicktime. That's exactly what I needed to do. I just change the dimensions from 720 x 480 to 640 x 480, and it...
