2.35:1 4K template

[Daniel Peters]

Im using mattes etc in Premiere Pro to give me my 2.35:1 aspect ratio for the Scarlet

At the moment I'm creating a title, using a matte and cropping it

Just wondering if anyone knew if there was already a template for a 2.35:1 in a 4K size not all the 1080p ones floating around?
or how to create one that size as a PNG in photoshop?

Also, to render it out properly from PRO...i have to create a Prores Quicktime export...but as 1920x788
for it to look right with no bars...seems so retarded?!

Usually in my FCP days
widescreen matte plugin, 2.35:1 done
export it out
quicktime crop 1920x816 done

Premiere works that way Ive explained...just seems retarded

Thoughts?

P.S sorry its not really a Scarlet issue, topic but it relates

why don't you make your sequence a 2.35:1 crop?
to make 1920x1080 into a 2.35:1 crop you would divide 1920 by 2.35 which gives you 817 so you round down to 816... so your final sequence would be 1920x816
you can apply the same math to your 4k footage

I'd rather work in a 4K sequence for the options ..
but say i did create a 1920x816 sequence...will i be able to position my footage around if i didn't plan to shoot in a 2.35:1 crop

for instance, someones head being cut off...so i position the footage back down etc etc

yes you can, you would use the controls in the basic motion tab to move the clips up and down.

You can use photoshop to help you find any ratios / pixel sizes if you don't want to calculate.. Make an empty document (you can start with a 1080p size like 1920x1080 and use "image size" later on to scale-up to any resolution and figure out other ratio pixel sizes) and select the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" (or press "m") then at the top of the screen in the marquee's options look for the "Style" drop-down and select "Fixed Ratio". There are two boxes "width" and "height". Enter the ratio in the width and leave the height at 1

Example:

Width: 2.35
Height: 1

Drag a selection accross your document making sure you have the entire width - that will create the exact ratio. Then just crop it and you have your pixel size. You could also do a hard matte like this etc.. If you want to convert this 1080 / 2.35:1 / 1920x817 ratio to 4K just go in the top menu "Image/Image Size" and enter the resolution needed in the width field. Just note the height and you have your pixel size... so for 4k that would be 4096x1743

Hope it helps.

Not that it really matters, but I think a 2.40 matte is the correct size for theatrical projection. (Splitting hairs.)

i always thought it was 2.39:1... i could be wrong.
