View Full Version : Can someone email me a "correct" 1.85:1 letterbox matte?

The Premiere matte template is apparently 2.35:1.

I need a letterbox matte that's 1.85:1 for export to DVD & widescreen TV.

I've created one myself, but am unsure that it's absolutely correct. If someone has a "widescreen TV/DVD correct" matte they've created (using the Title Designer), I'd love to see it.
Please drop me a PM or an email (seanmichael@aol.com) if you feel like committing a random act of generosity. . . :dankk2:

Another way to set screen aspects.

The Circles on a SMPTE countdown leader (ie the PremPro Countdown Leader) indicate the Screen aspects. They are there for the benefit of projectionists.

The Inner Circle is 1:185
The Outer Circle is 1:166

Thanks for the tip about the countdown leader. I just tried it and it works well also. Good to know that's there . . .
