Anybody got any tips on achieving a 2:35:1 aspect ratio? i like the look but i'm just baffled at where to start
 
What did you shoot in?

Check in Filters... Matte... Widescreen. But to apply it to an entire sequence you'll have to nest it.

use the widescreen filter but unless your framing is perfect, do not apply to a nested sequence. better to apply to each clip so you can adjust the frame up and down as needed. then on output you can either leave the letterbox or crop it out for native 2.35:1.

You can open many sequences and therefore many canvas windows. Just open the true and the nested and frame the individual shots while watching the nested canvas.

Not useless... just a different workflow.

what's the point of that? why nest if you have to apply the plug to each clip anyway... or are you talking about moving the clip in the motion tab of the original sequence? if so, waaaayyyy too complicated. the plug has a slider for this and can be copied to like-framed clips.
 
Problem with adding the widescreen filter on a clip by clip basis rather than to a sequence is you'll have color correction inconsistency from shot to shot. Better to apply once to an entire sequence.

Well, you could do the mask. A more adventurous path is to screw on the Panasonic Anamorphic Adapter and film in 16:9 squeeze. Then you could unsqueeze in post to the proper ratio, usually it's around -34 to -36 on the ratio bar depending on how precise you want to get. There's a thread that talks about this somewhere on here. There's many pros and cons, the biggest being focus issues, but I filmed a majority of a short using my HV20 and some stepping rings and it looked pretty good. It just depends on how much you're willing to go through.

The easiest way is, of course, to do the Super35 route and film in 16:9, compose it for 2.35:1, and mask it off in post.
