Advanced Quicktime settings in sequence settings window?

Opening the advanced button under QT video settings, there's an aspect ratio choice between 4 x 3 and 16 x 9. It's not clear in the manual when or if this needs to be used or changed. Anyone know?

Where is "QT video settings"?

how do u insert a screenshot on this forum? (jpeg from Snapz Pro) It comes up under a new heading of compression settings.

Upload the picture to a picture hosting site like photobucket, and copy the link and insert it by clicking on one of the buttons above the text box.

ok, i'll have to do that later. Look under sequence settings, lower left corner there's an advanced tab.
I have an additional post that I need to put up as well
thx

That's a bit vague, G. You have to copy the "image tag" url (it has [ IMG ] at the beginning and [ /IMG ] at the end of the pic's url). Copy this entire path and paste in your Cafe post. You can insert any pic from any site as long as the image tags are in there.

The little button with the mountain and the sun, above the text window automatically inserts the image tag.

Nah. It isn't checked when you select a sequence preset. I doubt there's any difference in terms of quality. (probably when 16:9 is selected in the checkbox and you open your exported video in QT pro, it may display in the correct display aspect ratio, but this is a wild guess.).

Dam, not sure I did this photobucket thing right, but there should be 2 shots at this link.

Wrong URL. You need to get the link from below the image, or as Grafixjoe mentioned, the one with the image tag, which you can past straight into the forum text window.

You don't have to select the aspect ratio checkbox in the QT video settings, but you need to check the anamorphic 16:9 checkbox in sequence settings to display it correctly.

Put your mouse arrow over the picture you uploaded to photobucket and select the IMG code from the pop up. It will say copied. Then come back here and paste that IMG code here.

lets see if this is readable. yuck, i uploaded the pic at 1024 x 768 but still this small and blurry

General rule of thumb is to take the pict into photoshop or some image editor and cut it down to no more than 600px wide. That way it doesn't muck up the forum. But this is fine. It's readable.

If it's DV you are working on, leave settings as they are.

DV anamorphic most of the time. Same?

Yes.
