Advice on Desqueezing and Exporting Gh5s Anamorphic footage in Premiere Pro CC 2018 ?

[jamesK777]

Hi I'm having problems desqueezing and exporting footage shot on a Lumix Gh5s with SLR Magic Anamorphot Cine Lenses in Premiere Pro.   The footage is looking squashed and not right.

These are the specs of the original footage which my Premiere Sequence share:

3328 x 2496, H264, Linear PCM

Anamorphic HD setting.

Can anyone recommend specific Sequence Settings?

And Export settings?

Here are screen grabs of my Premiere settings:

Thanks!

After interpreting the footage and dragging it into a empty timeline does it still look squized.

Can you upload a short clip to test.

Hi jamesK777,

Once the Pixel Aspect Ratio is conformed appropriately (based on the 1.33x or 2x Anamorphic Squeeze), the footage should look appropriate without any need for further adjustments. Please let us know if you have created the sequence from the same modified clip or you have dragged this clip in some other standard non-anamorphic sequence. Also, please try to undo any non-uniform scale changes performed on the clip in the sequence and check if it's looking properly as conforming the Pixel Aspect Ratio correctly should automatically stretch the frame appropriately.

Thanks,

Sumeet
