    2.35:1 in FCP

    Posted by Andrew David on February 17, 2011 at 11:48 am

    Hi.

    I’m shooting on a new Sony F3. I’ll be editing in Pro Res.

    I’d like the final image to use the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

    How would I go about this in FCP?

    My thought was, I’d edit in a native 1920×1080 pro res window and then somehow crop the image or add a mask of black bars to the video which will be played on DVD and/or a hard drive in the cinema.
    The hard drive version will be in HD.

    I couldn’t find any reference to this in my searches so any help is appreciated.

    Cheers,
    ADC

    There’s a widescreen filter in FCP where you can dial in the 2.35:1 letterbox. It’s in the “matte” folder in the video filters folder in the effects tab.
