Then under “ Image Scaling” -> “ Input Scaling” -> select “ Scale Entire Image to Fit” or “ Scale Full Frame with Crop” based on your need.For example, for a width of 1920, the height for 2.35 aspect ratio is 817).

If your AR is 2.35, then divide the width by 2.35.

Enter the relevant height in “ For processing” (which is based on your aspect ratio.

Under “ Master Settings” -> “ Timeline Format” -> “ Timeline Resolution” select “ Custom“.

The “Project Settings” window will be displayed.

Click on the “ Project Settings” (bottom right-hand corner – cog wheel).

If you’d like to change the aspect ratio for all the timelines within a project, this is how you do. Output blanking is a timeline wide change, it affects all the clips (within the timeline).Ĭhanging Aspect Ratio in Master Settings under Project Settings

Select your desired aspect ratio, say, 2.35.Īfter you’ve applied the output blanking, you might have to adjust the “Y position” under “ Transform” in “ Inspector” settings.īased on your requirement, you might also need to zoom in or out to keep your action in focus.Īlso note that you can always “ Reset” the output blanking.

You can change or set your own aspect ratios by one of the following methods:

How to Change Aspect Ratio in DaVinci Resolve? Once you actually apply your desired aspect ratio, it will introduce black bars on the top and bottom of your video (which is also called as letter-boxing). It’s always a good practice to adjust your video (transform controls in “ Inspector” tab) such that the action areas are safe and are not left out when actually applying the aspect ratio. Note how changing the aspect ratio will affect the shape of your image. Here you can play with different aspect ratios like 1.33, 1.66, 1.77 and so on.

Go to “ View” -> “ Select Aspect Ratio” -> Select your desired aspect ratio like “ 2.35“.

Go to “ View” -> “ Safe Area” -> Turn it “ On“.

How to Preview the Desired Aspect Ratio Without Actually Applying ItĭaVinci Resolve helps us by displaying various aspect ratios and their effect on our footage by a feature called “Safe Area”.

Keep in mind that, as soon as you update the project or timeline resolution, black bars will be introduced (since you’re reducing your height to achieve a wide screen look). Therefore, your project or timeline resolution should be “1920 x 817” for a 2.35 cinematic look. Then divide your width by 2.35 to get the height, which is, 1920 / 2.35 = 817.

If your footage was shot in Full HD -> 1920 x 1080. Hence your project or timeline resolution should be “3840 x 1634” to achieve 2.35 look. So divide 2.35 from width of your footage (3840) to get the height. Which means the width is 2.35 times the height.Īnd let’s say, you shot your footage in 4K UHD which is 3840 x 2160 (Width x Height). Let’s say you’re going to deliver in ultra-wide aspect ratio of 2.35. Once you’ve decided the kind of look you want – the wide look, like Cinemascope (2.35) or the ultra-wide look like 2.76 (think of The Hateful Eight), it’s time to set your project or timeline resolution accordingly.
