  Feature film comp settings

  Hi

  Does anyone have any experience of feature film set-ups? I have been told to use 1.85:1 but AE doesn’t have that as a preset. I went looking at Wikipedia, but what I found only confused me further:-
  “Since the 1950s the aspect ratio of theatrically released motion picture films has been 1.85:1 (1.66:1 in Europe) or 2.35:1 (2.40:1 after 1970), so the “Academy” ratio was relegated to usage primarily for television. The image area for “TV transmission” is slightly smaller than the full “Academy” ratio at 21 mm by 16 mm (0.816 in by 0.612 in), an aspect ratio of 1.33:1. Hence the “Academy” ratio is often mistakenly referred to as having an aspect ratio of 1.33:1, referring to the TV transmitted area, instead of the actual 1.37:1 ratio of the full “Academy” area.”
  AE does have a couple of 1.37 presets, they are both square pixel so where does 1.85 come from?
