2.8 Anamorphic issues in Premier
HI,
I’m assisting with a feature in Premier Pro. It’s a legacy project on it’s 3rd director and 2nd or 3rd editor with very little paperwork and has a lot of issues so this may be the first of a few questions.
The project was shot in 2.8K (2944×2160). I did not process or sync the dailies. Some of the shots are merged and some are multiclipped. It came connected to proxy media that is transcoded a number of ways (arghh!!). Most of them are 2880×2160. Most of these proxies are squished to a 4:3 apect ratio.
A few questions:
1. When the editor (who is working on a PC – I’m on a Mac) opens a file in the source window on his system it appears normal but when he cuts it into a 1920×1080 sequence it looks squished and he has to put a motion effect on it to adjust it. When I do the same thing on my Mac it doesn’t do that.
2. Why are the transcodes marked as 2880×2160 QT’s but are squished? Moreover, why are only some of them squished?
3. Why do they behave so erratically in the 1920×1080 timeline?
4. I’m getting new pickups to process in about a week, what is the proper workflow for this material? I haven’t worked with this before.
Thanks!

HI,
Update, I figured out the issue with the “squished” frames – I have to interpret anamorphic footage in Premier.
I still have the issue with the editor having the clip present one way in the source window and then going back to the squished state in the timeline.
Does this have to do with his timeline settings?
thanks!
