Currently at MediaStorm, we are using the Sony PMW-F5<\/a> camera. Our final frame size is 2048×858, also known as 2.40<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This more cinematic look is longer in width but shorter in height than the standard HD size of 1920×1080.<\/p>\n

Though our final output is 2048×858, the captured frame size is actually a bit larger at 2048×1080. This allows for more wiggle room when deciding what stays in the shot. There\u2019s more latitude as you can now position the frame up or downwards without having to up-res its size.<\/p>\n

The MediaStorm 2.4 Editing Workflow<\/h2>\n

To begin, you\u2019ll need to download<\/a> the 2.4 crop-bars mask.<\/p>\n

It is sized for 2048×1080, your capture size, but masks out the top and bottom so that only the final output frame size of 2048×858 is viewable.<\/p>\n

This file should be placed on your top video track. Then lock it in place by clicking the lock icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now you can reposition your video frame without inadvertently moving the mask.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To do so, simply place the timeline playhead over the clip you\u2019d like to crop, then double-click it in the Program<\/strong> window. Drag the blue bounding boxes accordingly.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s time to output, turn off the mask layer\u2019s visibility by clicking the eye icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then open the Export Settings Window<\/strong> with shortcut key Command-M<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Make sure to change the output size to 2048×858 and uncheck the adjacent link icon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mobile Devices<\/h2>\n

In order for your files to play reliably on most modern mobile devices you’ll need to create a version that’s no wider than 1280 pixels.<\/p>\n

For master file sizes of 2048×858, use the dimensions 1280×536.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
