Dear Blackmagic!

PLEASE ADD FRAME LINES FOR SCREEN !
BMC's screen need to have frame bars for different crop factors!
We cant afford to get a monitor to tape off.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT for theater projection and production!

WE NEED IT!!!

Thanks!

Uhm, 2.39:1 would be better. Isn't 2.35:1 an old CinemaScope ratio?

Yeah, widescreen anamorphic hasn't been 2.35:1 for 40 years. Truth is, in the 1970s, they would matte the cinema screen to 2.40:1 anyway.

2.35:1 is the same aspect ratio for US paper currency, therefor gives a psychological connection to money.

yes, of course, 2.40:1 (2.39:1)
but for monitoring composition it does not matter, 2.35:1 or 2.40:1... after 16:9 )))

Also, the difference between choosing common top or common center is more significant than the difference between 2.35 and 2.39.
