Bars that overlay the image with a controllable amount of transparency is ideal.
And a matching extraction in Resolve too would be good.

There's a thought but there may be no need to force a crop of the same pixel locations on all frames. In terms of CinemaDNG, since the camera will fill 2400x1350 useable pixels, one should colour everything available and perhaps in the NLE move that 2400x1000 pixel window up or down as it suits the editor assuming the desired aspect ratio for distribution is 2.4:1...

http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?7 ... #post16356I was reading Wikipedia on film formats for cinema. As was mentioned earlier, since about 1970, the correct ratio is 2:39:1 but in the digital age that may be unworkable as we need ratios that are derived from pixel integers not fractions of a pixel.
If a digital 'film' format of 2.4:1 has not been formally defined, somebody needs to do it now. It may be defined already but I'm not knowledgeable about these things--just want to do the right thing, like using 1920x1080 HD. I've always enjoyed the wide-screen view of Panavision. Would be satisfying to do that easily with the BMCC/Resolve/FCPX.
