I didn’t shoot the footage. I’m just taking a class over at FXPHD in color grading and this is the footage for one of the classes.

I’ve actually been using AE to color grade using Colorista II, but I just wanted to bring it into Vegas, and that’s when I discovered how it appears in the Preview window.

I tried changing the PAR in Vegas Project Settings to 1.4545 and that actually made it more scrunched!

Here are my settings within the Project Settings. Does everything look okay?

And here’s how it appears in the Preview window:

Those are the actual dimensions of the footage.

I pull the footage into After Effects and it’s fine after I press the PAR correction button.

How can I tell if it’s anamorphic?

I take it with dimensions of 2816×2304 it would be considered 2K, correct?

I tried 1.000 square pixels and that doesn’t work.

Maybe it’s time to upgrade to 13.

I just hope they don’t decide to go the Adobe route and you have to “rent” the software from here on out!

I’m starting to get it now.

Why doesn’t Vegas use LUTs?

[Ron Whitaker]

What I meant was how/when/why to use a Look Up Table during post production editing/color grading.

Is there a tutorial somewhere on it? The interface can be quite intimidating!

I’ve checked out the online documentation on the Handbrake site, but like most docs, it’s somewhat useless.

Thanks. I’ll check the post out!

[Ron Whitaker]

Thanks.

I was thinking the 3D camera as well and turning each word layer into a 3D layer.

I’ll play with it.

John:

Is this the new, updated Asus monitor like yours?

Thank you for your responses.
