Hi, I'm about to start editing a film that will be shot on the Alexa in 2.39, using anamorphic lenses. When the lab gave me an unmatted dailies test, there was extra information at the left and right sides of the frame that is outside the 2.39 frame lines that the DP shot for. I like the idea of...

Gotcha. Do you think Avid is going to support H.265 soon? Also, for anyone else running into this, Apple Compressor was able to see the files and do the conversion for me. And what Dom said above actually works better if you don't mind file by file. Just open in Quicktime, export as 4K and leave...

Hi all, Working on a feature that is shooting 2.8k anamorphic on Arri Alexa but wants to master in 2.39. DIT is doing DNxHD 36 transcodes in sliverstack for us in editorial. We've already determined that its not the best workflow for DIT to transcode to 2.39 (issues with Arri metadata, too late to...

Hi All, I'm having some issues exporting 720x576 16:9 AS-11 DPP files. I'm using Avid 7.0.4 on a HP Z800 system, Windows 7 OS. From a 25i 16:9 project I am trying to export 720x576 files within a 16:9 frame but every export I do including AMA File exports and same as source exports are resulting...

Working on an SD show that incorportates XDCAM HD footage in the timeline. For the sake of getting a rough out I eyeballed in the aspect ratio correction using a Re-size filter so that I coud "Pan & Scan". (wasnt familiar with the actual Pan & Scan plugin at that time) Now I am conforming...

Hello, First of all, I'd like to address how important this community is to an individual just starting out. The majority of questions I've held were all answered perusing thru these forums. That being said, I apologize in advance if this has been posted before and/or the solution is right under...

Am working on a production where they are shooting with an anamorphic lense (1.3 squeeze) on the Arri Alexa camera, which will give a final aspect ratio of 2.35:1. What avid reformat effect should I be using to make this look 'normal' and squeeze the image for the offline?

In searching the forums, I see that many people recommended to capture HDV downconverted but anamorphic (squeezed) instead of letterbox and edit in DV25. Well how about if I am capturing in HDV and editing in HDV with no downconverting? Would you still recommend I capture in anamorphic rather than letterbox...

Hi Everyone, I have two somewhat related mysteries that I'd love to get feedback about: I am trying to convert H.264 quick times to DNX_HD36, but when I do the image comes out looking stretched. The H.264 quick time was originally made from anamorphic material in After Effects. I've tried several...

I have both 4x3 footage and 16x9 footage on my timeline (the 16x9 would be what I think is called anamorphic as it is what I call stretched but is maybe properly called squeezed) so everything looks like 4x3. My question, when I export this to a qt ref file (settings native dimensions) and then use procoder...
