REDCINE Scaling Issue?

[Shawn Booth]

I feel like a dipshit on this one.

I import the .r3d files into RedCine and then export out to UC10bit, HD 1080. Everything works fine EXCEPT the final QTs are cropped. I'm only getting part of the original shot image.

As I understand it, 1920x1080 is a 16x9 format whereas 4k 2:1 isn't. I stayed up late trying various settings configs and frame sizes...

What am I doing wrong? Am I skipping a step somewhere? Have I provided enough info for you to help in solving?

Back to testing...

Nevermind. Figured it out. Have to output to HD 1998x1080.

Thanks for reading.

You don't need to do that.

Set your project to 4k 2:1.
In shot settings click all and then fit height. All clips will zoom in and crop the extra sides that makes it 2:1 (hopefully you've shot 2:1 with 16:9 frames guides...)
Then in output do 1920x1080.
