Anamorphic workflow

[Grégory Montaldo]

Hi,
I'm currently working on anamorphic footage shot on a red epic X and with an iscorama adapter. Its squeeze factor is about 1,4X. But in Red cine I can't set the pixel aspect ratio at 1,4. Does someone know a solid workflow to desqueeze and edit my rushes ?

The Iscorama 1.5X anamorphic squeeze are a bit outside of the standard 2X and 1.33X workflows. In Adobe Media Encoder you can create a custom aspect ratio/pixel size and export your rushes.

Nuke you can dial in any ratio you want, also output to square pixels with the right blending algorithms for that ratio. Nukestudio is a bit better to do this, both can use the gpu and write to whatever format you need (works on Windows, Mac or Linux).

Thank you guys. I find another way : with resolve I can create an input size setting then apply it to my media. So with 5K FF 5120x2700 I obtain a 7680x2700 resolution but a weird aspect ratio. About 2.84:1. Do you think Red will display more anamorphic format one of these days ? Or Iscorama is too exotic to justify its integration ?
