ANAMORPHIC

Select an Anamorphic setting, if applicable. The anamorphic setting de-squeezes the image on the monitor

and marks the footage as anamorphic in the clip metadata. When you open the clip in REDCINE-X PRO, the

program automatically de-squeezes the image. The available anamorphic settings depend on your camera type.

EPIC DRAGON: Supports anamorphic 1.3x and 2x with each format.

SCARLET DRAGON: Supports anamorphic 2x for 5K 6:5.

EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X: Supports the following:

‒ 5K FF: Anamorphic 1.3x and 2x

‒ 5K 1.22:1: Anamorphic 2x

NOTE: Anamorphic de-squeeze on the RED PRO LCD 7.0" requires that your DSMC is on firmware v5.3 or later.

DE-SQUEEZED RESOLUTION AND DE-SQUEEZED ASPECT RATIO
When you enable anamorphic, both the actual format and the de-squeezed format display at the bottom of the

Format menu.
When anamorphic is enabled, the camera does not crop the sensor image, so the recorded image has the same

resolution and dimensions as the corresponding non-anamorphic format.
After de-squeezing the footage in post-production, the resulting footage has a different format than the original

recorded image. The format of the de-squeezed footage is the second format (resolution and aspect ratio) that

displays on the Format menu.
Since the camera does not crop the image, you will have additional horizontal area to frame the image. Then,

crop or scale the footage to the intended aspect ratio.
