Let Adobe know you want custom pixel aspect ratios!

Slo-mo ML clips come in odd aspect ratios. Anyone familiar with Ppro knows this window:


With the ability to enter a custom PAR value, comes the ability to fully integrate a RAW cDNG workflow in Premiere without having to render proxies. For example, if a value of 0.6211 were allowed, 60p clips requiring 1.61x sizing would be conformed to 16:9. As it stands, there is no way to preview these stretched sequences in their proper scale without rendering out to a proxy format.

If you agree this would be helpful in Premiere, make your voice heard.

Hey quick update with good news!

It seems that you can edit the values of these preset PARs by editing the Interpretation Rules.txt in Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.app/Contents/Plug-ins/en_US

A final update: this doesn't work. After an hour on the phone with tech support it seems that the Interpretation Rules.txt functionality has been taken out, with no plans to address it in future updates.

What a bummer.

Why not just resize on one axis?

Why not just resize on one axis?

I want raw DNG sequences playing in the preview monitor that are at their correct aspect ratio. I need to be able to edit unstretched footage. You can only resize clips once they're already in the timeline.
