Converting Anamorphic to 2.35:1

I shot in squeeze mode and converted to anamorphic in FCP.
Now I want to take it down to the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

Does anyone know a quick way to do this besides masking the monitors, re-framing each shot accordingly within the guidlines, then exporting the entire sequence and doing a single crop on that. That's the only way I could think of...

And would anyone happen to know, within this method, how much to crop off an anamorphic shot to make it officially 2.35:1. Or how to measure the monitors for the mask.

As a side note: wouldn't it be wonderful if Panasonic offered various guidlines for various aspect ratios for shooting, that could be viewed on all monitors, including the eyepiece. Just a thought...
