#Add adjustment layer final cut pro 1080p
Anyway, the shot of the guy with the hat is 1080p and seems to hold up to upscaling fairly well. I could understand if they were under cranked, but they were 24p so. I'm not sure why he chose 1080p 24p on the FS7 for some shots. All of the footage was shot in 4k, except I found some random files that were 1080p, and of course those were some of the best ones. I did have to punch in a bit to match up horizons. I exported a test clip yesterday with project settings of 3840x1634 and threw a quick grade on it. Worst case is that you have to place either an export or compound clip (and then add the adjustment layer) into a 16:9 project and (re)export. but if they are okay with your DP, then all is well.Īs for final distribution, there may only be a few extra little steps depending on where you submit, but otherwise, nothing that should put up any red flags. My biggest concern with what your planing is that the composition of the DP will be changed by adjusting the aspect ratio. We also have still reserved the right to go to either of those aspects later, though that is unlikely. that being said, we chose the aspect ratio long before post, so everything was framed with that in mind. We chose 2.39 as our aspect ratio, but thought about 2:1, or 2.35.


We have definitely had to punch in a couple percents for the fixing of horizons and such, and haven't noticed anything terrible interns of quality. If you aren't punching in in dramatic ways, I'd probably stay in 4k. it's a small inconvenience, almost not worth mentioning. (it's odd that one can't do it in the even browser like all other clips). The only hiccup we have come across is with our Multicam interviews, when we insert them into the timeline, we have to set the spatial conform to fill for all angles of the time line. Not using adjustment layers makes life super easy, as we don't have to worry about accidentally selecting the adjustment layer while working. It's possible it might be sent to Netflix or another distributor in the future though, so I want to keep options open.Īt our studio we are doing something similar, and that is the workflow we are following, (except we're still in a '4k' timeline). The client financed, produced and shot this on his own, and might just put it out via the web. I'm not sure it matters, but no distribution is in place so I'm not constrained by any rules at this point. Are there any downsides to this that I am missing? Is an adjustment layer still the best way to handle this? Any other issues to consider? Any recommendation for aspect ratio besides 2.35:1? Because I might want to also punch in, I am thinking a 2K version. It's been a while, but I think I used compound clips to solve of those issues.Īs I begin my rough cut though, I am thinking about just making the project settings a widescreen aspect ratio right off the bat in the project settings. I have used adjustment layers to accomplish this look in past projects, but sometimes, I run into issues with effects (like Ken Burns effects) that get messed up with adjustment layers.

I have free rein to cut it the way I want, and from what I see, I should be able to make the footage work at that aspect ratio. I want to deliver it in a widescreen aspect ratio for a more cinematic, dramatic look, but all the footage was shot in 16:9, 4k using a Sony FS7, A7Sii and A7Rii. I'm working on a doc style art film on gabby-argali sheep in Mongolia.
