buggz Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hello,Resolve newbie here...Okay, I have searched, and searched.I have tried all the suggestions I have found, and I still cannot get this to work.Yes, of course, I searched the manual, and actually tried it. too.How do you desqueeze anamorphic video in Resolve 12 Lite, or can you?Background, I am using Canon 5DMkII Magic Lantern RAW video, exported to Cinema DNG, via raw2cdng.1.7.4I import the Cinema DNGs into Resolve 12 Lite, I have tried adjusting the timeline, and the project properties with no success.What are the settings I am looking for?Thanks!I have ordered the adavanced copy of the book on Amazon for Resolve 12, and having a really hard time waiting on it, and the training videos, as I refuse to give any more monies to the arrogance of the adobe mismanagement... rook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggz Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Wow, a desqueezed still from 5DMkII is a 40.2MP file.11232 x 3744, pretty dang wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmeric Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yep. For this reason I feel it's much more practical to squeeze "in" rather than squeeze "out" When you expand yr anamorphic shots out on the horizontal you end up with huge kinda fuzzy movies/images. If you instead compress vertically you end up with normally manageable files which actually look sharper than they normally would. (assuming yr shooting with a good anamorphic and you've landed focus properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rook Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If you figure it out please post the answer, I cannot figure it out either.The weird thing is that in editing mode it is compressed, but in color correction mode the footage de-squeezes perfectly. Frustrating... Confusing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Punk Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well, I'm still learning Resolve too but I've found the following works...Go to Color tab when selecting a clip, select Sizing tool > adjust height/width to custom size. Select 'Create' to save that as a Sizing preset that can be saved and applied to all - or selected clips on import.Or use the Sizing presets that come in Resolve for Cinemascope/Anamorphic > under 'clip attributes' when right-clicking a clip in the 'Media' window. Example screenshot is of footage shot in ML Raw at 50p, so here I have increased the height by 1.65% to get back to 16:9 aspect.Exactly the same re-sizing method can be used to correct Anamorphic footage by reducing height by whatever ratio is needed for the scope in question.

Aragonnarun Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Easy. Go to your media page, and select your clips, right click and choose attributes, then under video tab, select pixel rate to anamorphic or cinemascope. See the screenshot below.

buggz Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hans Punk and Aragonnarun,Thanks for this, you are both correct!Now, I need to really understand all this aspect ratio stuff to know what I am doing, or need to.*8^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rook Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Easy. Go to your media page, and select your clips, right click and choose attributes, then under video tab, select pixel rate to anamorphic or cinemascope. See the screenshot below.THANK YOU!Problem solved. Works perfectly. Much appreciated.-rav- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggz Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 I've been playing more with this and now find for my setup that the 35mm Full Aperature HD Anamorphic setting is better.Shrug, I guess for others it may be different.Now trying to get a proper perpective rendered output.I keep gettng a squeezed rendered output file, or a cropped output file.Sure is a learning curver, this video stuff.I will read the manual today, more, and again.*8^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggz Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Hmm, I find that VLC will play back a squeezed rendered output when I choice VLC option, Video, Aspect Ratio, 2.39:1Now, if I can only output a rendered 1080P file as such, I can finally get into shotting more.

buggz Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Okay, found out how to size the output. It's also on the color page.Now I need some perfect circles, and adjust the settings...Hmm, this editor showed my snippets, but didn't save them?
