DownConvert 2k 1.85 to 1.78 HD and 1.85 HD

[Liam Stephens]

I’m using FCP6 and Glue Tools is there anything within the software that might help also?

[Aaron Neitz]

Correct, HD is 1.78 full frame.

1.33 is with black bars on the sides

1.85 is letterboxed (barely. just a handful of pixels off the top and bottom).

[Arnie Schlissel]

Most likely, they mean letterboxed. Who is giving you these specs? That’s the person who you really need to ask.

The client has just given a list of standard deliverables.

HD 1.85 is 1920×1038 so that would mean 21 pixels of black on top and bottom.

HD 2.35 is 1920×818 which is 131 pixels of black on top and bottom

Can anyone back this up?

[Liam Stephens] “HD 1.85 is 1920×1038 so that would mean 21 pixels of black on top and bottom. “

Actually it was called 1035 and is not used at all any more that was Sony’s first HD format,

“HD 2.35 is 1920×818 which is 131 pixels of black on top and bottom “

2.35 (2:40 according to ARRI) is one of the original widescreen formats

all of these aspect ratio;s are available in Video Filters >Matte > widescreen in FCP
