Frequently Asked Questions

Which squeeze factor is best for a standard 16:9 camera?

For cameras with standard 16:9 video sensors (Sony FX3/FX6, Canon R5 C, mirrorless cameras without 4:3 open gate), a 1.33x squeeze produces a 2.36:1 aspect ratio, which requires almost zero cropping to hit standard 2.39:1 widescreen. A 1.5x lens produces a wider 2.67:1 ratio, offering dramatic cinematic flares and bokeh with modest side cropping.

How do I desqueeze anamorphic footage in DaVinci Resolve?

In DaVinci Resolve, select your clips in the Media Pool, right-click and choose "Clip Attributes". Under "Pixel Aspect Ratio", select the matching squeeze factor (e.g. 1.33x Anamorphic, 1.5x Anamorphic, or 2x Anamorphic). Resolve will automatically stretch the pixels horizontally in your timeline.
