![]() ![]() They are a part of film history, often from the ’50s-’80s, and we’re still using these same lenses today. You really want to get the flares, the bokeh, the slight chromatic aberrations, and some of the other anamorphic characteristics that differ from lens to lens.Ī lot of anamorphic lenses are vintage. To me, it’s not enough to just get that wider field of view. ![]() There are many reasons why anamorphic is such a sought-after look, but in my opinion, all of the best reasons relate to the character of the lenses. ![]() Everyone who has ever called themselves a cinematographer wishes they could (or has) shot with anamorphic lenses. It’s an entirely different approach to framing, lighting, or even blocking your scenes. Shooting anamorphic is kind of a rite of passage, it seems, for most aspiring cinematographers. and others, they’re becoming more accessible. It’s important to know and apply the correct squeezing factor of your anamorphic lens/adaptor to get the optimal results.Įither way, you will be able to de-squeeze your anamorphic footage and continue editing just as you would normally do with any other type of media you’ve shot and imported in DaVinci Resolve 12.Anamorphic lenses yield arguably the most inherently cinematic images. Select Create to save that as a Sizing Preset that can be further applied to all your clips, or to selected ones of import. If necessary, you can change your Output Scaling Preset as well to match your video monitor or final render specs, depending on your video output interface for monitoring or rendering.Īnother alternative way to deal with anamorphic footage inside DaVinci Resolve 12 would be to use the Sizing tool in your Colour Page by adjusting the height and width of your clips to custom size and a certain aspect ratio. In case, you have some non-anamorphic footage in your Project Settings and Preferences under Input Scaling Preset choose Scale entire image to fit. Now you can enjoy the true beauty of your anamorphic clips. In your Project Settings, you should also set the timeline Pixel Aspect Ratio to Cinemascope. Under Video tab navigate to Pixel Aspect Ratio and select CinemaScope. Once you’ve imported the anamorphic footage and got it into Resolve 12 in the Media Pool select all your clips, right-click and choose Clip Attributes. Today Theo from MasnerMedia will show us how we can easily do that by using the available tools and assets in Davinci Resolve 12.Īssuming the majority of your footage is anamorphic, your timeline resolution ideally should match your source, so that you can take advantage of all that extra resolution for color correction and have more options for output. Some time ago we’ve covered a popular way to handle and de-squeeze anamorphic footage inside Final Cut 7, Final Cut-X, Premiere Pro CC by utilizing the Dashwood Editor Essentials Anamorphic plug-in. To get this extremely enticing look, however, you should use some true 2x anamorphic lenses attached to a camera with a native 4:3 sensor (or, at least, utilize effectively the 4:3 aspect ratio of your camera’s sensor) where more horizontal lines are involved during recording. ![]() With the ability to utilize the Anamorphic (4:3)Mode when filming with the Panasonic GH4 and the introduction of some reasonably priced anamorphic lenses and adaptors, shooting in anamorphic or Scope becomes more and more affordable to independent filmmakers. ![]()
