Since all still image types require square pixels (a pixel aspect of 1.0), Compressor may
have to alter the pixel dimensions of an image sequence job. To view or adjust these
parameters, select the target in the Batch window and click the Geometry tab in the
Inspector. If you will be using the image sequence in an application that can be set to a
specific size and pixel aspect ratio (such as Motion), make the appropriate changes in the
Geometry pane before encoding.
