Cirque du Soleil - Beatles LOVE for iPad and iPhone

Problem: Sample videos had poor image quality and were extremely blocky.

Fix: Designed custom settings for all web browsers and mobile devices to display high quality playback.


Unicorn Media - Correcting MPEG4 A/V Sync

Problem: Audio and video out of sync, due to corrupted QuickTime timescale in MPEG-4 source.

Fix: Gave new Final Cut Pro and Compressor settings for correcting the problem.


Grab Networks - Improving quality across platforms

Problem: Video encoding was not playing back on all mobile devices.

Fix: Designed custom settings to make video look good on all platforms.


Lullabot - Video stuttering with dropped frames

Problem: Source file was 15 frames-per-second and Lullabot was seeing stuttering on output, where a frame of video would hang every couple minutes.

Fix: Changed output framerate from 29.97 to 30 frames-per-second to make playback smoother and remove the misbehaving drop frame.
