you will have to select square pixels in the ratio of 1.6. for example, 1440/900=1.6

from Mr. Peter’s post, my thoughts below:
1. AAF is the new format and contains more information than the OMF. OMF loses
the volume automation and names of the tracks when exporting and importing from one application to another. … Most applications for audio and video will support AAF and MXF formats moving forward.2. don’t do any stabilizing in premiere/AE unless its rendered out
because the data is stored in the project file and could make it unusuable for
long form projects.3. I wouldn’t export anything out of premiere directly anyway as it clips ARRI color. use only XML!
4. the lumetri auto lut will bloat your project file as it will apply one lut
per clip. use an adjustment layer instead.5. you want Apple ProRes 4444 XQ 12 bit. not 10 bit.

are you planning on grading in resolve? finishing in premiere? dcp? premiere only supports rec.709/sRGB d65 gamma 2.2 so arri color would be clipped down to that. that’s why some xml to resolve. but if you plan on finishing in premiere,
you only get srgb output so you’ll lose the larger color gamut.pluraleyes works a little easier than premiere for sound syncing. you’ll need to decide up front if you’re going to use proxies, transcodes, offlines, color pipeline, ACES, storage, backups, matching timecode/matching audio channels.
You’ll want to choose good DIT/dailies software solutions and test it all the way through the whole process something like Colorfront Express Dailies, hedge, shotput, or something with built in CRC support. Often its DAY-shot/scene-reel-take or something similar. The proxies(if used) will also need to support metadata as well. Premiere has problems with multicam audio syncing vs proxies, so afaik they haven’t fixed that yet. resolve has an audio sync feature as well.

sRGB 0-255 D65 gamma 2.2. it can’t convert anything so you need to use luts to conform to its hard coded color engine.

lol, you can’t calibrate your screen based off of another’s person’s memory color or what they think it should look like.
my tree is a little yellow because on the right side, I wanted the sunny yellow leaves like around 800am on a bright sunny day and the warm wall off the house. that being said, nothing is past 128 film print saturation, so if anything looks garish, then your saturation looks too high as all colors are no more saturated than the most colorful possible painting on a wall.did my self calibration chart help you at all? resolve has a built in auto color chart so you can compare memory colors
to what your actually getting. If I made an educated guess based upon you saying that the tree is grey and that I lowered reds by -31 for skin tone, and factored in then the camera’s sensor probably reacts similarly to yellow, this image would be more inline for memory colors. also, your white point should be D65 sRGB when encoded.

I didn’t use scopes, I eyeballed it. I did a few tricks here. See if you can find them. I added bloom to highlights,
set white balance to D55 soft light and color compressed to 128. I didn’t do any sharpening. This is pure color contrast.

Have you calibrated your Tv’s controls as well? If your Tv isn’t partially calibrated, windows can’t do anything about it.
I forgot to tell you, there’s also a Disney Wow disk that will calibrate your Tv so that bluray looks good. -
windows has a built in self color calibration. you can also try my free perceptual chart. https://f1.creativecow.net/12336/munsel-color-self-calibration?uploaded=file

also, I have found that google chrome is whitepoint shifting all my pictures. I can’t even tell what I’m posting! argg!

here’s an example of 5 point white balancing. the shirt and coat both reflect blue onto the white. you could make it more perfect with a secondary, but I thought this would be a good example illustrating why local colors can affect overall white balance if your not careful. Also, try eye dropping the beard directly, the whole image will completely go orange.
