7 Lakes Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 11 hours ago, tweak said: Half the original height Y - 50% looks too wide. The model looks a little bit too fat So, I'm wondering if there is a certain formula to count the exact percentage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These adapters are usually close to 2x stretch at infinity and then more like 1.8-1.9x closer up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is it 2.39:1 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio with FM lens and Schneider ES Cinelux anamorphic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgabogomez Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It is not a 4x3 mode, it's a 6x5, so maybe that's where you are having it wrong. The timeline for 2.40:1 in hd is 1920x800, for 2.35:1 1920x816. With the focus module you should be getting the 2x stretch as you are on infinity on your Schneider. 7 Lakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioskop.Inc Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He's a good cheat sheet for DCP sizes http://unravel.com.au/files/Unravel_Resolution_CheatSheet.pdf You should be able to make a custom sized timeline - if you don't want black bars in a box. Also, if you've been looking at squeezed footage it can look a bit weird when you de-squeeze. But more importantly, as someone has mentioned, the stretch factor can change slightly, since the x2 is taken from when the lens is at infinity - this tends to be a real problem with x2 anamorphics rather than say x1.5 etc. The best way to know what you've got is to film a circle (on a piece of paper) and then de-squeeze it to your taste. Doesn't matter how you filmed it, 16:9, 4:3 or 6:5 - you'll still end up de-squeezing it by the same factor. tweak and 7 Lakes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
