Premiere CC 2:39:1 Matte Help

[Rob Sholty]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what the best practice is for putting a 2:39:1 matte inside of Premiere CC. I shot Scarlet at 4K and used the 2:39:1 frame guides as reference. Does anyone know the correct dimensions to make a crop in photoshop or does anyone know where you can download one. I moved from Final Cut and I really do miss the option for widescreen in FCP. I wish they would implement that into Adobe CC. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you everyone.

An image with an aspect ratio of 2.390 and a width of 4096 has a height of 1714: 4096x1714

An image with an aspect ratio of 2.390 and a width of 3840 has a height of 1607: 3840x1607

An image with an aspect ratio of 2.390 and a width of 1920 has a height of 803: 1920x803

Subsequently, you can create a new project with this 2:39 dimensions above and paste your timeline into it. Select keep existing settings and it will basically put a window over your footage like a center crop. Don't worry, the full image size is still there underneath, so you can pan, scan, and reframe. Only it's a 2:39 window and project so no messing around with a matte and then remembering to crop on export. Hope I explained it well enough.
