Re: resolution problems on cross dissolves.

[hi focused] "But I read that a constant bit rate one pass isn't as high of quality as a two pass or one pass VBR because you flucuate the quality as need be for the video. So are you saying going with a constant will actually produce better quality than a VBR.
"

Whoa,
VBR fluctuates the rate/quality, that's it's basis.
But there are also bugs in Compressor's VBR behavior including spiking.
There are many factors that decide quality,,
Try CBR and post back.
