1920×1080 vs. 2048×1152
I’m working on a :30 commercial project that was shot on RED 2K pro res 422. The editing was done in a sequence of 2048×1152 square pixel. We just recently started editing our other projects in a 1920×1080 pro res 422. We are editing more with RED footage but still edit with footage that was shot in 1920×1080.
I am wondering if there are any advantages to editing in 2048×1152 over 1920×1080 besides the obvious slightly larger size? We work with a lot of graphics that are templates. Same commercial but with different phone numbers & websites. I’m trying to avoid creating another set of templates to work in this format 2048×1152.
One more thing. The final file is being sent to DG Fast Channel for air. HD and SD.
Thank you for your time,
John

For broadcast, I’d stick with a 1920×1080 timeline.
No reason to reinvent the 1080 wheel especially since you’re at the same aspect.

My thought as well. Just wondering if this is a trend or just another format to deal with.

It’s how FCP deals with Red at the moment. It will allow you to reframe shots with no quality loss. 🙂

Thanks Jeremy for you input. With all the different formats available it can get quite frustrating. I’m learning you can’t please everyone. Work with the format that is best for you.

Number one rule: Know your deliverable. Everything else in your project will depend on that rule.
