Compressor 2: Certain presets may set the wrong frame rate in a converted clip

Compressor 2 offers high-quality transcoding using advanced image analysis when converting from one format to another. However, if you try to transcode from PAL to NTSC using one of the NTSC presets in the Advanced Format Conversions category, the resulting QuickTime movie file may not have the correct frame rate (29.97 FPS).

As a workaround, do this:

1. In Compressor, apply the setting you wish to use to the source clip in the Batch window.
2. In the Inspector window, select Frame Controls.
3. From the Frame Controls pop-up menu, choose Custom.
4. Set your destination and then submit the batch.

After changing the Frame Controls, you can save the setting if you'd like to use it for future PAL to NTSC transcoding. You can then use your new setting instead of the default setting to make the conversion.
