2:35.1 aspect ratio
How do I achieve the above aspect ratio(motion picture format) using FCP 5.1? I search the forum for 2:35.1 but none.
Thanks, Nathan |

Nathan,
There are various plugins that will matte the image to give it the 2:35.1 aspect ratio. Keep in mind, that this is a matte, so your sequence will still be (I assume) 16:9. Did you shoot in 16:9? If so, then I believe this is how you will achieve your desired aspect ratio. I'm not really sure if you would set up you sequence to the 2:35.1 ratio, perhaps others will chime in too. I use Nattress plugs (I believe it's called 'widescreen'). Hope that helps. Todd |

Yeah, there's a plug-in that comes with FCP that'll do the matte for you. Just check under the effects tab, it's called widescreen, and you can select from a wide variety of aspect ratios.

I found it from the Effect tab. Thanks for the help.

Might be an obvious question but what is this doing to the 16:9 image? Is it squashing it slightly or increasing the bars and 'writing' over your footage?
If I recall, somebody on here (Brian Luce perahaps?) shot with this in mind and attached hair lines to his viewfinder/LCD so he kept within the new ratio frame. |

It's just putting black bars over your image, covering the upper and lower parts of your footage.

It is a lens thing, meaning you film your project in 2:35.1 with a lens that will do so. You will still have a 16:9 image that will look cropped if you use filters.
