P: More options for interpreting pixel aspect ratio for support of additional anamorphic lenses

Hi there,

There have been some more accessible anamorphic lenses coming out, and my work bought a couple of them. The video comes out of the camera as 3840x2160, but it's a 1.6x aspect ratio. Currently Premiere can interpret 1.5, but not 1.6, so I end up having to place all of the footage on a timeline and adjust the scale to the right proportions.

It would be great if Premiere could add 1.6 in the interpreting panel, so I can continue to use the source monitor as my rushes selection, and not need everything down in the timeline to go through it. It also makes match frame annoying to use.

Thanks!

We're missing a quick option to conform pixel size to 1.8 under modify clip settings.

A Reorganization of this list in pizel size would be nice as well.

The built-in anamorphic desqueeze options in Premiere do not include the increasingly common 1.6x squeeze factor and probably other, less common factors too.

Please could we have the option of customisable desqueeze ratios in the 'modify/interpret footage/pixel aspect ratio' section, or at least 'Anamorphic 1.6'?

This is particularly important when downscaling footage shot at, say, 6K on an HD timeline (something I do all the time), as resizing the clips twice makes the whole process WAY more complex and requires nesting and multiple timelines - what a bore!

@juliepmachado It's been a while since you requested this but I wanted to let you know that we are planning adding additional aspect ratio options for customers using anamorphic lenses. No date yet for a release but we will update this post when we have more info. 

Regards,

Fergus
