Premium Member Chris Keth Posted July 9, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2007 Make measured tape lines on your monitor and then crop the footage to match those lines in post. Final cut does it very easily with a widescreen matte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Vialet Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 yes i eill crop but any suggestions on how to? there is an option in the operations-->display menu where you can set the specific aspect ratio u want. I think the option is called "Marker". You can use it to create any aspect ratio you want and it will show up as a sort of electronic "groundglass" in the viewfinder and any monitor output. The most exact way to use this is to frame a framing chart and set the "marker" to that to get an exact 1.85:1 frame. Record the framing chart and then crop it in post. Hope this helps.

Does that camera give you 1.85? I thought you could only get 1.78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Vialet Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Does that camera give you 1.85? I thought you could only get 1.78. Yea, the camera is native 1.78:1. But it has the option of giving you custom framelines in the viewfinder and the monitor output that you can set to whatever you want. I was giddy like a child when I realized this, lol.
