Anamorphic lens which mode

[Bob1066]

I have an Anamorphic for my DVX and am not sure which mode to use it in If I use it in squeeze mode when I capture in Premier Pro or Edius it captures as 16 x 9 if I shoot in normal mode with the lens it captures in
4 x 3 I can convert the ratio after capture.

Squeeze mode does the same thing that the anamorphic lens does... without the lens.

So to use the lens and shoot in squeeze is going to cause some serious problems with the image.
nAttach the lens, set your camera's aspect ratio to NORM.

Flag the clips as anamorphic either in your NLE's capture settings, or after capture if you need to.

Thanks for that I thought that was the way it was but not sure

OR, if you want a close to 2.35:1 ratio, shoot with the anamorphic adapter and letterbox mode and treat the clips as anamorphic in post.
