Aspect ratio situation, simple math question!!!
Hi there.
I have a porblem with some footage, the client filmed in Red cam 5K , 5120X2700 which is a 1.9:1 aspect ratio I think, and when they pass me the footage proxies they convert the 5120X2700 1.9:1 aspect ratio to a 1920×1080 16:9, so the proxies have a black letter box. :S
The final video needs to be 16:9 without letter boxes, the question is WHATS THE EXACT % OF SCALE I need to add in AE to eliminate those letter boxes?Thank you very much!!

My back-of-the-napkin math suggests 106.7194%. Of course, this means you’ll be center-cutting, thus losing some of the frame on the edges — 64-65 pixels on each side.

SOLVED, THANKS !
1920 / 5120 = 0.375
0.375 * 2700 = 1012.5
1080 / 1012.5 = 1.06666666666667= 106.67%

In case you are curious why we got different results, I rounded the 1012.5 down to a whole 1012 before scaling up.
