i need to render a small video which was edited in widescreen. I want to keep the proportions, but make it smaller (similar from going from a 720*480 to a 320*240. What is the best way to render out a quickime file while needing to reduce the size?
thanks

Just take the desired horizontal dimension and divide by 1.777777

320/1.77777 = 180. So, 320x180

That's also assuming a PAR of 1.0. Some formats let you select different ratios, and some formats will default to something other than 1.0 depending on the project settings.

Personally, i always render less-than-SD frame sizes with a PAR of 1.0. Seems to guarantee more compatible playback on various devices.
