2.35:1 and Vimeo
Hey guys!
Is there a best way to crop all of my videos to 2.35:1 to give it more of a cinematic look without going all through the clips and cropping them one by one?
And is wmv better than mp4 when exporting HD to Vimeo? Any tips?
Thnx!

Drop your project into a new project that uses the 2.35:1 ratio and then crop the one large event on the timeline from the nested project by opening Pan/Crop, right-clicking the frame and selecting Match Output Aspect.

How though? What would be the width and height?

It’s simple math. The width for HD is 1920 and 1920 / 2.35 = 817 so the height for a ratio of 2.35:1 is 817. Change your project properties to 1920 x 817 then go into Pan Crop, right-click the frame and select Match Output Aspect.

Thank you for that information… Helps alot!
But what if i want black bars over the top and bottom? what should i do instead of using the media generator?
Thnx again!

If you want black bars then only change the aspect of the events but NOT the project. Keep the project 16:9 and the 2.35:1 events will have black bars to compensate for the difference in aspect.

Hey John, I just found this out.
I just can’t to have an exact 1920×817. It always changes. I always get 1452×817.
Why is that?! -
I can’t reproduce that problem. This is with the project properties yes? I set it to 1920×817 and it stays that way. (or are you talking about rendering?)

I’m talking about inside the pan/crop window.
I want to set my project properties to 1920×1080 so that I get black bars.

You need to disable Lock Aspect Ratio. It’s a button on the left side of the Pan/Crop window.

I’ve done that and it stayed as 1920×817. But the only problem is, the video doesn’t stay in the middle. Do you know what I mean?
