Up until now I have been working with DVCam footage that was shot of our performances from 2000 to 2007. So I was using CS2. Now there are many other options with my Sony A7Rii. Everything going forward will be in HD or 4K. I was not clear on how I would output this in a wide angle view. You cleared all that up. Thanks! It is easy if you know what to do. 🙂
Thanks for the video! Talking about the Sony A7IV and using 2.35:1 aspect ratio setup, is there a way to make the top and bottom bars black? That would help make the composition process easier..
Thanks for this video! It helped me a lot. I have a question, can I use two different aspect ratios in one project? Or how can I do is changing during the film? Thank you!
Thanks for this video, In the bit where you change the video ratio parameters to 2.35:1 and it widens the shot - what if it is a huge project and you have to change to the wide 2.35:1, will you have to readjust every single clip to ensure they are properly framed after changing the aspect ratio, or is there any easier way to do that across an entire project?
You would want to shoot and frame your shots at the time of recording if you know you are making a big project that will be that aspect ratio all the way through so you don't have to reposition them during editing. To answer your question, one way you could do it is put all your clips in a compound/separate/nested timeline, adjust the clips up or down (e.g. using an adjustment layer) and then use that as the source for your main editing timeline.
@@JasonRobertsVideo Thanks Jason. I thought about the use of adjustment clip as well but my only worry is the possibility of having the shots framed differently so while an adjustment may work well for some parts, it may inadvertently be throwing off the framing on other parts within the compound clip. I have learnt my lessons for next time anyway, so thanks man!
Oh I get it now - sorry!! If you want the 4K UHD (3840x2160) version it would be the height of 4K UHD which is 2160 / 3 = 720 then 720 * 4 = 2880 so the sequence settings width would be 2880 and the height 2160. For the 1080p HD version (1920x1080) it is 1080/3=360 then 360x4=1440 so the sequence settings would be 1440 width and 1080 height. (Hope I got that math right as it's 6:30AM and I've not finished my first coffee of the day yet haha)
If you mean going from 16:9 to 4:3 and keeping all the screen being used and also no distortion you can't - you would need to add some black bars/letterboxing if you wanting all the content and no stretching.
I have a sony a7iii, was trying to apply the marker display, tried all of them but nevery shows up, only shown when I press record. Any idea why that is?
Which "Fluid Head" (with 2 handles) are you using on the tripod shown in your video at the 2:01 minute mark? Looking for a compact fluid head which can handle big lenses (i.e., Sony 200-600mm lens), which has a smooth (basically frictionless) pan movement.
That's some stock footage so don't know I'm afraid - I'm also looking at upgrading my whole tripod setup with video focused gear rather than trying to have my landscape photo gear and studio tripods all the same.
These 3 videos should help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HMFRHAOnGdM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s-f2Ge6XHoQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kgZ37WznLpU.html :) :)
Great question! If you think of 16:9 as the bigger box and 4:3 a smaller box within that box then the height of both boxes is the same it's just the width of the box that's different. If you export a 4:3 video and watch on a 16:9 TV for example you'll have black bars at the left and right but the "quality" of the 4:3 area will be the same as the quality of the same area in a 16:9 version. Hope that makes sense :)
how shall i frame in 16.9, if i have to adjust it in 2.35.1 in Post, coz framing in 16.9 and then adjusting in 2.35.1, could be a disaster in framing composition
Hi Aman, if your camera does not have an aspect ratio/guides of 2.35:1 then it can be hard. In that case you would need to use an external monitor that has 2.31:1 guides to help your composition. There is a small benefit of filming in 16:9 and then using 2.31:1 in editing and that is you actually have some room to adjust your composition up and down.
Weird, I just went to the link www.premiumbeat.com/blog/free-letterbox-templates-for-video-editing/ scrolled down and clicked "DOWNLOAD FREE LETTERBOX TEMPLATES" and it worked fine.
