Super Members Mattias Burling Posted March 8, 2016 Super Members Share Posted March 8, 2016 The aspect ratio depends on the lens, what squeeze did it have? Im not sure exactly where you unsqueese, but someone else will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its FCPX then you can choose a custom aspect ratio when you create a new Project - you decide what you want etc... If you want to fit it in a 1080p or whatever wrapper (black bars top & bottom), then once your footage is in the timeline, highlight it & go to the Inspector window, then open the Transform window and go to the Scale section to change the Y axis to the desired squeeze (simple math to work out the percentage - that's your job!).

Alan Abrahams Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks a lot, yes I eventually figured it out, my custom ratio was 1920 x 720 ,very impressive result with the new anamorphic firmware using the entire 4:3 sensor... and now I found another issue, on my lumix 42.5 mm in the gh4 anamorphic mode things work perfectly,but when I use my canon fd 50mm with fotodix fd adapter or my helios 44-4 58mm with k&f concept adapter...on normal mode it works fine,but as soon as I swtich to anamorphic mode there is a huge delay in capturing the image on the monitor but also in the recording, at first i thought it's m sd card, but I bought the recommended U3 class compliant and still the same problem, wondering if anyone else has come across this problem,or maybe i have to change my settings somewhere,or maybe it needs a metabones for the anamorphic mode, though I dont see why... Help very much appreciated ! alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
