Hello
I'm going to shoot stills and video in both 16x9 modes and simply frame with custom crop marks in camera to get 2.55 and 2.20
2.55 is the original cinemascope aspect ratio as seen in Rebel without a Cause and other 1950s films and recently in La La Land.
2.20 is the aspect ratio of Panavision Super 70 as seen in Lawrence of Arabia and 2001 Space Odyssey
For the life of me I cannot figure out a way to properly edit my own custom crop mark BMP files myself and have them turn out in a working order... Whenever I edit an existing one to either of these two ideal crop margins-- I save the file, add it into the ML SD card folder, it successfully is loaded and becomes selectable in the camera options, but the edited file shows up simply blank ~no black letterbox bars at all.... a normal untouched liveview... effectively adding no crop marks at all.
May someone please be a quick help by creating a 2.55:1 and 2.20:1 custom crop mark file available for download?? I've looked everywhere and simply can't find a single option for either of these two aspect ratios.
Adding one of these two letterbox masks in Avid for both cases are easy and will be no problem at all for the video files. 2.20 is already an available crop right in camera for video, which is amazing but for some silly reason 2.55 doesn't exist and would be so great if ever made possible.
To post process the stills I've created a BMP and PNG to the exact pixel resolution size of the Canon 5Diii's uncropped 16x9 size stills.
So I want to overlay this 2.55 letterbox I've created on top of the stills. I do not want to crop the original 1.78 photos into 2.55 -- I want to put a permanent 2.55 mask over the 1.78 uncropped photos... I can't find a tutorial online how to do this... Which app should I use to overlay a BMP file? My files have a transparent middle for the image area and solid black bars on top and bottom for the mask 2.55 mask. Any tutorial videos or directions will be a great help. I presume PS or Lightroom? Any app that can simply have a present option so I can batch modify 10s-100s at once very swiflty is ideal. I don't want to tinker with all these pics one by one since I'll have already framed with the cropmarks in camera when I'm framing the shots
With that-- I'll be good to go...
