SOOOO…. for outputting a rough cut with a 2.35 mask you’d end up with 1024×435 pixels of image data. So from your 1024×512 file crop off 38.5 pixels from the top and bottom (or 39 from one and 38 from the other. it’ll be cleaner).
I can’t vouch for FCP’s 2.35 widescreen filter with M Proxies…. but it should be pretty close to those dimensions.

Thanks Bob! The upgrade did the trick.

So what are you editing in? 1080?
Based on your info it sounds like you shot with a regular lens so the only way to get 2.35 is to letterbox it. You can have compressor crop off the letterbox for delivery, but you’ll need to do some math to figure out the dimensions of the resulting file.
for instance a 1920×1080 movie with 2.35 letterbox would have 1920×817 pixel of actual image.

Yeah, I’ll precomp. Not my favorite way to go, but it works.
Just popped back into CS3 – NOT getting the premult error with Color Finesse.
thanks for the help!

Nice find. But Color Finesse still is black rimming the edges….
I’m resorting to using a duplicate of the layer that just has keylight and then doing a “track matte alpha” on the layer with Color Finesse. But that involves losing some of the nice spill suppression that Keylight pumps out naturally.

are you doing multi-core rendering in AE? I know when I do, especially with a large comp that eats up RAM, the whole computer is sluggish for a good couple minutes afterwards…. like AE isn’t purging all it’s processes and RAM after render.

Conversion time from h264 from the Canon might be lengthy on your laptop.
Other than that – if you can edit in ProRes at X frame size today then you’re fine if you stay in that codec.

Correct sir. You need to be working in the “sf” version: 1080sf/23.98
that will downconvert to SD just fine.

these are the kind of applications that will make or break the ipad, IMHO.
I would love an EOS utility for it.
