Aspect ratio reference

[Phil1076]

I threw this together as a reference. It looks confusing at first but is actually pretty easy after you look at it for a few minutes.

why is 2.33 desired?

There's no 2.33 on there..just 1.85, 2.35, 2.39, and 2.4

Cell C10 says 2.3333333.

Oh...that's for RED 4.5K Widescreen (4480x1920)...got it from here:

for the RED users.

They will most likely crop to a more standard size, like 2.40 (2.39). That widescreen mode is to offer more resolution, because you have to crop just a tiny tiny bit to get from 2.33:1 -> 2.39:1 ... versus cropping from 2:1 to 2.39:1.

I don't think many people desire or finish in 2.33.

EDIT: I know realize what is going on... I read 'Desired Aspect' and thought it was for the column not the row.

BTW, now that I get it... where are you getting these numbers? You explained the 2.33, but where did you get the 1.89 aspect? What camera gives you that?

 

[Phil1076]

1.89 is the RED Epic @ 5K (5120 x 2700).

Yeah, Desired aspect is the row going across in red, while the columns going down are the resolutions of popular cameras these days.
