Alexa 35 Anamorphic Editing
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2024 3:10 am
I'm working with the Alexa 35 on a feature that is being edited in Davinci Resolve and I'm getting some unexpected results that I'm hoping you all may have some insight into.
I'm in Resolve 18.6 on an M1 Macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.2.1 and on the Alexa we're shooting Open Gate 4.6k with a 2x anamorphic desqueeze. When loading the footage into Resolve the 2x desqueeze is handled properly and the footage looks great. My understanding is the anamorphic file should retain it's vertical resolution of 3164 but double the horizontal resolution. However when I load the footage in a timeline with a square pixel ratio of 9216x3164 the file is half the size.
When I load the same footage into Premiere with a 9216x3164 sequence it fills the frame. Anyone have any ideas of what might be the issue in Resolve?
Thanks
