How to set-up a 9:16 frame guide on DSMC2?

[vincent kardasik]

Hi everyone,
Frame guides helps me a lot, especially when shooting slow-me in high speed in WS for a 16:9 output.
I have an upcoming job where I will have to quickly extract content to post in instastories but I still need to edit a final 16:9 piece when production will be done.
My main idea was a 9:16 frame guide on screen to be sure the shots needed are well centered but I’m really struggling with setting up a 16:9 window in the frame guide menu.
Any recommendation or advice regarding this please?

You can do frame guides with custom settings

I probably didn’t express myself the right way. I can’t find the custom settings to create a 9:16 frame guide.

.56 ratio for custom guide

If you are doing only 9:16 then apart from using custom settings, I'd recommend fliping your camera 90degrees. That way I'll end up cropping less from the sensor. Ideally go 8kHD, 7kHD,6kHD etc. and flip camera 90degrees and you'll end up with 9:16, and use the the sensor more effectively.

Pawel,
As I mentioned in my first post, I also need to edit 16:9 content and this has priority.

Five year old thread, just making sure this is the easiest and most precise way to frame for 9x16.

Yes it is.

9 divided by 16 = 0.5625 to be precise or if you want 4:5 that would be 0.8.

If you are on a Komodo, Komodo-X or DSMC3 camera, go into: Monitoring > Guides > Frame Guide 1,2 or 3 > Set Mode to :User then input the number. This will then translate to any resolution you are shooting.

You can also do this on the RED Touch Monitor for DSMC3 if you don't want it on your SDI.
To do this add a tool called 'Aspect' to the PageOS side panel and simply select the 9:16 preset.

Both can be good, just depends what your needs are.
