DOM setup for Full Aperture

Post by cgray999 »

I have a silent film output file at 2048x1556 full aperture. In Content tab I scale to 4x3. In the DCP tab what container should I use?
Should I use 2K or 4K resolution.
Thanks!

I guess the benefit of using 4k is not huge, but, there is no general reason to avoid 4k. Typically, you would pillarbox this in a 4k flat container. Which is what DCP-o-matic will set automatically in current versions.

Thanks, that makes sense since there is not resolution benefit to using Academy aperture as the container. I'll probably make both a 2K and 4K.
