noodles Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hello everybody I have just received my Kowa 16H and followed your instructions in the great anamorphic guide but i have a question about the aspect ratio during the workflow. I work on Final Cut Pro X (not 7) and i can't find the aspect ratio settings and my researches on the web did not help me. is anybody have got the answer? (Sorry for my english) Philippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Rios Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 My english isn't good too :-) With command 4 you get inspector tab at right. So you get effects tab. Go to transform....scale...click little arrow at left to get X and Y values. Y value at 50% Best. noodles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioskop.Inc Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Also, remember that you can now set a manual aspect ratio for the project - this means that you are no longer stuck with 1920x1080 & the black bars, but can now choose to stretch & not only squeeze the footage. This means you can get 3840x1080 & not just 1920x540 - it should mean that you could also choose other aspect ratios such as 2.93:1 or 2.66:1 & automatically crop the footage by adjusting the x or y axis in the Transform tab. noodles and Francisco Rios 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landulf Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 How do you do when you stretch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raf702 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You can't stretch in FCPX, just squeeze unfortunately. Another way would be to use Apple Compressor and create a custom project size and import that into FCPX then you'll be able to use a stretched format.

Bioskop.Inc Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 You should be able to make custom Project sizes now, but if you can't... If you want to create a bigger anamorphic template or just have a template that dispenses with the black bars within a 1902x1080 wrapper, then you can create a blank template in Motion (with a custom size etc..), export it as a movie file & then lay it down in a FCPX project & then place your footage on top of it. This video explains how to make a custom template: http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timelines/video-tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanC1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi, I recently bought the eoshd guide which has some great info in it. Unfortunately I use fcpx and couldn't see a way to stretch my footage as described by the fcp7 workflow in the guide. So after tinkering for a while I found what seems like a great alternative to simple squashing the X axcis. It used both techniques to create what appears to be a visually better image, so I thought I'd share. 1. Open project settings2. Modify horizontal resolution under custom resolution tab as described in the eoshd guide3. Insert footage into timeline- it will be smaller and unstretched at this point4. Change the X axcis to appropriate height: 0.67 for 1.5x, I use 0.75. Increase the total size of the image with slider at the top of transform menu, to fill the aspect ratio which should be correct This appears to give a better image than just squashing X axcisCheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanC1 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Axcis = Axis haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Genheimer Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 IMO it is best to first make your timeline and decide your delivery resolution/ratio. Then drop in your footage and stretch the horizontal by scaling it 2X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanC1 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I just figured it out, doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Genheimer Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Change an axis from 100% to 200% scale. The spectate x/y adjustments are hidden they drop down from the normal scale adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
