  1. That's great Julian!  Thank you for your response.

     

    Anybody have anything on the workflow of how to squeeze the footage to 3.1:1 (or 3360x1080 or 1920x617)?  It seems that FCP has anamorphic settings... but in choosing say "DVCPRO 24p Anamorphic" in the settings... nothing happens in the viewer?

     

    Or, do I have to great a 1920x617 aspect ratio using Motion - and then bring it into a new FCP project in order to edit at the 3.1:1 aspect ratio?

  2. I am new to the anamorphic arena - and I have some questions regarding workflow for you experienced and professional anamorphic guru's. 

     

    Firstly, here's the gear I'm using:

     

    Canon 5D Mark 3

    Canon 85mm 1.2 II

    ISCO 1.75x

     

    Editing with Final Cut Pro 7

     

    My first question is:    Aspect Ratio:  What is the correct aspect ratio for a 1.75x ISCO.  I'm confused as to how to calculate 16:9 with a 1.75x zoom... does this mean that my aspect ratio is 2.35:1? 

     

    My second question: What is the proper workflow in order to edit anamorphic footage in fcp?  For example, once I've exported the H.264 footage recorded at 1080i24p into FCP, how do I squeeze the footage in order to use all the precious pixels at 16:9 with a 1.75x zoom?

     

    My third question: Focusing.  Is it normal to not be able to focus my prime lens (manually) when the ISCO is attached?  It seems that I have to remove the ISCO lens in order to adjust focus.  Maybe there's something I'm missing with regards to the electronic mechanisms of the camera/lens that don't work with the ISCO? 

     

    I have more questions, but these would be incredibly helpful if someone can help me with these questions. 

     

    Thank you in advance!
