I believe there was an issue with that at some point, as well as a fix. Not sure it's needed with the newer versions though.

Yeah I googled for a fix and tried everything... isn't working in my case... it helps a little but not matched what I see in my NLE.
Still looking for a better way...

The h.264 mov comes in at a whopping 265 megs, so thats not an option either...

Rod, what was your bit rate set to?

I would lower the bit rate a tad and get stereo. Sound is just as important.

It wasn't a stereo mic? Interesting.

You can MIX a mono recording into stereo. Didn't you have a sound mixer on the project to balance things out?

That would be dual-mono....

Mono to stereo?

It was a very down and dirty shoot, we used one mono shotgun mic, a rode ntg2.
You can pan the mono a little to the left, then to the right as each actor takes turns speaking but with no stereo background ambience recorded it may draw attention to the fact.
Playback of mono h264 quicktime (or mpeg) is converted to dual mono by any player and IMO sounds ok.
I may still go to 480p (853x480) as I'm still seeing a little too much noise at 720p despite the 1.5mbps bitrate.

I was wondering what resolutions everyone was going to be submitting at...720 or even 480p, hey? I had a chuckle (in an insane, muttering-under-your-breath kind of way) when I rendered my timeline out uncompressed...61gb...
In my case, sound is EXTREMELY important...as you'll see...hear

I think I am going with 800x450, I tried 720p but was a mess when brought down to meet the requirements.
