  Cinemascope Toolkit

  The package includes a basic 2.35:1 matte (“Cinemascope Crop”), wrapped in a FCPX Effect with video Scale control and X/Y positioning. I’ve also included four Compressor Presets that output cropped MPEG-4/H.264 videos. Frame things up in FCPX and output using one of the Presets for 2.35:1 aspect ratio videos.

  The installer is hard coded. So all the routing, etc. will be handled when you run it. The Effect will be installed in a “Matte” Category under a “Widescreen” Theme in FCPX. The Compressor Presets will be located in Custom/”CinemaScope Presets” – Settings Group.

  You can edit whatever the installer defines. For example I did not edit the naming convention that I use for my Compressor Presets. They all begin with the first four letters of my name. Edit if needed. The preset specs are listed on the page above. Customize to suit your needs.

  You can also customize the FCPX Category and Theme. Just pull the Cinemascope Crop folder out of the Motion Templates/Effects/Mattes folder. You can use my toMotion application to customize.

  The installer has been tested on two machines running 10.7xx and 10.8xx.
