    Hi,

    We shot a commercial with old russian lomo lenses that comes out anamorphic.
    In Recine we stretched them out (2:1) for offline.

    When conforming them in Davinci, I can’t find a way to do the same. It is possible to stretch to fill all corners and so on the input section, but not to stretch out to the normal frame with black under and on top.

    Any suggestions?

    I built a pre-set in the Output tab of the format room for a 2×1 stretch that worked well on my last Anamorphic job.

    Ok, so there is no other ways to do it?
    Why do you make the preset in the output tab, and not the input tab?

    Well is easy then: on the media pool, right clic on the file> clip atribute>Video>pixel aspect ratio> try cinemascope (it work for me) if not there is 16mm anamo or 35mm anamo.

    I am looking at doing this as well but getting mixed messages between the forum and ARRI.

    I tried the cinemascope setting and it deqsueezed and looked good.

    However Arri folks tell me:
    “You can use the desqueeze using the pixel aspect. But please keep in mind that the framing of the clips will not be correct. You also have to scale the image by a factor of 1.046 ( 1920 / 1836 ).

    ***{I can’t find those settings in DR Lite 9.1}**

    The ARRI ALEXA captures a 4:3 2K ProRes file in the resolution 2048×1536. When using an 2x anamorphic lens the picture aspect is 1:2.67. The 2.39 image is centered having extra image data to the left and right with a total pixel width of 1836. When only desqueezing the image you will have an image which is to small and has extra picture information left and right with an picture aspect of 1:2.5 inside your HD image.”

    Can anyone clarify this for me.
    I am using DaVinci Resolve 9.1 LITE
    It rendered fine just using the cinemascope setting and the scale image to fit. I did this using ARRI test footage (parade)but don’t have a rack leader to check it against to see if it is cropped on the ends.

    I want to create prores 422 LT dailies
    Arri says:
    – Create a 1920×1080 project. Done
    – Create a “InputSizingPreset” with a width of 1.046 and height of 0.523. ( 1920 / 1836 = 1.046 /2 = 0.523 )
    ****CANT FIND THIS IN RESOLVE 9.1 LITE****

    – Apply your preset on all your anamorphic ProRes files. Easiest is to select the files on the Media page and right click and choose “Change Input Format Preset for Clip” and choose your previously saved preset.
    – Render away.
    – please also check in the Project settings, that Image Scaling is set to “Center Crop no resizing” for both options. ****get super streched image***

    Confused.
    Any insight would help

    Input sizing is under the COLOR tab, the 7th icon from the left (or directly above the color wheel icon in the color tab, you can’t miss it, it’s the tab that looks like something is being resized.) You can add those numbers in there.
