Cinemascope

Post by slowtiger »

Has anybody here some experience with a production in scope?

I'm planning to do a project in scope, using the px dimensions for DCP which are 4096×1716. Have to buy new editing software for that, but that's a minor trouble.

Progress report:

TVP handles 4K nicely, and can export .mov files of that size with FFmpeg easily.

I wanted Anime Studio (which will be called Moho again in next version) to do the same, but get an error message that Quicktime can't handle such large files, do I want to export in smaller size instead? If I click OK I get a 4K render nevertheless, which is a bit confusing.

Final Cut Pro 10.2 has no problems with 4K, but the program looks like iMovie now and needs a completely different way of handling, which I hate. In old versions I can drop a clip into the timeline anywhere I want, and it stays there. Easy to create pauses (of black) between clips. Not in 10.2: every clip will get drawn to the left and docked to the last clip! I hate when programs try to be smarter than me. This is a serious pain in the ass, and a waste of time since I must re-learn FC from the beginning again.

Same here with FCP X. I thought I shouldn't give a shit, what people say and try it. But exactly this "smart"-nonsense made me giving up, after two days. Now I'm using Adobe Premiere, which is pretty similar to FCP 7.

Premiere would do the job as well, but it's only availabe now as CC = rent instead of buy. And that only works with a credit card, which I don't have.

I'm still using the CS6 version of all Adobe Apps, since I won it a few years ago, but I guess I have to update to CC soon, even if I hate this rent-model. Maybe I'll only rent After Effects and Premiere and try to find alternatives for the other applications.
