Anamorphic maths problem – it’s been a long day…
My brain feels like fudge and I just can’t work it out even though it must be easy…
I’m doing the opening to a feature, they want 1828x 1556, anamorphic 2:1
I want to send the director some web previews in square pixel. Something around the 1000 pixel width range. How do I work that out in the ‘stretch’ area of the output module? I thought it would be easy; it’s 2:1, so make it 1000x 500… no, that’s not right. I imported it back in and checked against the original.
Anyone with a functioning brain out there on this Friday afternoon/evening/morning?

Nothing more than lots of good Italian coffee… maybe too much…
However, I have tried that method and it doesn’t work. I have no idea why. It should. It’s the first thing I tried. As a way of checking I put a circle effect in the original composition/design. When I put that into a 1000 x 500 (square pixel) and then scaled the comp to fit the circle is not round anymore. Somewhere along the line I am doing something really stupid…

OK, the coffee finally kicked in. The pixel aspect ratio is 2:1 but the screen aspect ratio is 2.35:1. Therefore I made a comp of 1000x 426 and everything is hunky dory.
Enjoy your weekend. Beautiful weather here in London, hope it’s the same with you.
