Custom video-size

[UncleSC4M]

I've been filming a lot lately in the 2.35:1 format. I usually just film my videos in 16:9 and then crop them later in the editing, but I had an idea. What if you were able to, lets say you're filming in 720p, and you had the ability to crop pixels from you height, and make the format not 1280x720 but something like 1400x600, so I'm able to add pans in the editing, without having to scale the clip.

I don't know if this is even possible, but it's just and idea I had.

Unless you need 50/60p, just record at 1920x1080 with whatever cropmarks you need and then crop/resize in post.

Taking a random guess here but; I don't think h.264 codec allows for random resolutions, it has specifics that it abides by.

[Audionut]

H.264 can encode at almost any resolution you want it to.

H264 yes. Canon encoder? Maybe, maybe not
