I would love it if one of the "Resolution" options in the Deliver Page output settings were a "relative" percentage setting, instead of just hardcoded resolutions.
For example, if I had a collection of large R3D files of varying aspect-ratios that I want to transcode for offline proxies, I don't want to have to do the math to figure out how to make a 1/4 resolution proxy of a 6144x3160 R3D file. And I doubly don't want to have to manually setup multiple Render Queue settings for different sets of files with different aspect ratios.
I just want to be able transcode everything in the Media Pool--regardless of their source aspect ratio--and output ProRes Proxy files that are 1/2, 1/4, 1/3 etc. the resolution of the original source media. To me, having a "% of source" render option would make this sort of workflow super easy, and much less prone to human error when trying to make low-res proxies that matches the aspect ratio of the original media, without any letter boxing, cropping or squeezing. REDCINE-X has a similar option, which is where the inspiration for my idea came from.
It would be even better if this feature would allow you to set a constraint on the vertical or horizontal resolution of your choosing, so for example, you can tell Resolve to transcode everything to a vertical resolution of 1080, and then Resolve would automatically do the math and set the horizontal resolution appropriately to match the original aspect ratio without any image cropping.
