Hi, i have a problem with DCP export in Davinci Resolve Studio 20.
The project we've been working on has a resolution of 2160x2160 HD square, and when exporting to DCP with the settings I've provided below, our 1:1 aspect ratio short appears "centered" in the frame and doesn't take up all the space it should on 16:9 screens, for example, since it doesn't touch the top and bottom of the monitor, leaving a large black frame around the video. What are we doing wrong? We're recent filmmaking graduates, and this is the first time we've tried exporting to DCP. It's also worth mentioning that we exported it using more traditional methods, and the resolution doesn't have this issue; only with DCP.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and help.
