Anamorphic View in Edit Page?

PostThu May 13, 2021 5:08 pm

Hey all, this problem has bugged me for awhile: How do you get the Edit page to display an anamorphic timeline unsqueezed?

The timeline is set up cinemascope, everything displays properly in the Color and Deliver pages, but the Edit page view is still squeezed. I've basically been ignoring the fact that I can't figure this out for a while but now I have a long timeline to conform and it's annoying me.

What simple thing am I missing here?

Have a look in Clip Attributes at the Pixel Aspect Ratio setting. Not something I have used but it may be the answer to your problem.

No the clips are fine, it's the timeline I have an issue with, and only in the Edit page. Displays properly in Color and Deliver and exports properly with the EXRs properly flagged as anamorphic and everything.

Only idea I have is to use a square pixel timeline and desqueeze at the clip level.

Yeah but i have to deliver an anamorphic sequence. It just seems really weird that the different pages show it in two different formats, not sure what the point of that would be. If anything I'd expect the Deliver page to show it squeezed as a sort of idiot check about what you're about to render.
