  1. I think what he is saying is that he doesn't use FCPX.  Filmconvert works just fine in FCPX.  

    The problem with FCPX and film convert is that it puts the LUT before any color correction layers. This throws out a lot of detail and robs you of the ability to tweak with CC layers to make the LUT work.

  2. At least there's no smearing on the edges.  But no flares either, and not enough of a "anamorphic" look just like Silvertonesx24 said.  I also wonder what taking lens they used too.  In any case, it might be way overpriced especially if SLR Magic outperforms it.

  3. you can see ovals in the out of focus lights at the end but it's very subtle. I really like their approach with close, medium and far focus settings instead of diopters and having a built-on mattebox is smart. But it's pricey at $2500 loaded. I think I'll wait for a 2x.

  4. Hey guys, can somebody write down a work flow for taking 2x anamorphic footage, blowing it up to 3840x1080, then cropping down to 2.66:1? I love my Kowa but the 3.55:1 is a little too extreme and I want to make sure I'm getting the best possible resolution I can using the "stretch" method. It's mentioned a lot in Andrew's guide, I'm just not sure the best way to crop.

    Right now I'm using compressor to make the 3840x1080 files, then dropping them into a 1920x1080 timeline and enlarging them until they hit the 2.66 mark.

    thanks!
