I'm trying to export a short film(5 minutes) from FCE for use on Vimeo but I just can't seem to to work the settings out. I keep ending up with files that are far too big.....

What are the best settings to use for Vimeo?

In my re-search I have found this post to be useful...

While I have not uploaded to vimeo, my footage looks great on my AppleTV.

Cheers,
Brandon.

I have tried everything, I can not export my clips from FCEx in 16:9. I set it to HD 1080x740 16:9 BUT STILL it exports 4:3.

I'm so frustrated!!!!

Phil, try to set the aspect ratio to 1280×720.
