I rarely use Avid to directly export other than a same as source or a QT Ref that I can still take into my older copy of Adobe Media Encoder at work to make specific files to delivery specs.
I work on DCI 4096_2160 DNxHRHQX projects and today I was trying to do a custom export to H_264 and no matter how I set up the Avid height and width and then the QT Settings in format options I can't get it to export to an HD 1920_1080 with a letterbox to maintain aspect ratio. If I export to H_264 4096_2160 .mov and then in QT Pro 7 use that and choose "Export" I can export and H_264 at 1920_1080 with a letterbox when I click the "Perserve Aspect Ratio by" and choose letter box. So that works when it's done in QT Pro 7 but not when Avid is exporting through QT in Avid's Custom Export.
Is there just no way through custom export to get it to letterbox the 1.90 aspect ratio into a 16:9 frame in one Avid export step. I know this has always been an issue for me hence my adopting my QT Ref workflow and Adobe Media Encoder approach. Am I missing something obvious? It's like when Avid is using the QT Engine in a Custom export it doesn't access the functionality of the export features but only the save as function. I'm sure that's not exactly what's happening but that's what it feels like. Just like my exports I'm getting squeezed a bit. ;-)
