tasters Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 hello guys, I came in possession of a beautiful anamorphic lens 16mm Hypergonar and I started doing the first experiments, but I use Final Cut Pro X and I have not found the old control "aspect ratio" as in FCP7. From what I understand I have to interact on the parameters "Y" in the "distort" panel, but someone would know the exact values in pixels to use for an anamorphic 2x lens on a GH2? From my brief remarks I think it's a 25px / 25px / - 25px/ - 25px / aka the sum of the old "100" aspect ratio ;) Tips? This is correct? thank you!

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted December 27, 2011 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2011 Px stands for pixels, minus -25 pixels isn't enough to achieve the correct aspect ratio. I don't use FCPX so guessing here - Try changing px to % and putting 25% top and bottom If you can't do it by percentages it should be px -270 top and bottom for 1080p source footage (to get 1920x540). If none of this works with the Distort function, try a different one like scale. Distort looks like it might not be the right one judging from the screen grab!

tasters Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I did some tests, in particular, I converted a video with Final Cut Pro 7 using the value "100" to get the correct aspect ratio and then I imported this video on FCPX and I have another video cropped superimposed on top of the "correct". I can confirm that the correct size value on FCPX for anamorphic video files 2X of "Y" are 25 / 25 / -25 / -25. Andrew, thank you for the advice but unfortunately the values are very high and 270 pixels etc do not match.

dagdogg Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 25/25/-25/-25 are definitely not correct. I suggest you use scale and squash y by 50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
