Summary | 0001352: Update masking in DCP name when cropping to fill container | ||||
Description | This is a small tweak but would avoid some annoying mistakes. When making a scope DCP from a letterboxed source file, I usually set "Scale to" to "No stretch" and then crop off all the letterboxing. However, the DCP naming then still reflects the aspect of the original before cropping. For example:
Of course, can fix this by setting "Scale to" to "2.39 (Scope)" - then DCP name includes just "S". But it's easy to forget this step. It feels to me that it'd be more natural if the masking indicated in the DCP name reflected the aspect of the material after cropping. Also... in a few cases with content that's non-standard ratio e.g. 2.66:1, it's not possible to correct the masking in the DCP name without editing the name manually because the only "Scale to" setting that keeps the image in the right aspect is "No stretch". Like I said, this is hardly a show-stopper, so very low priority, but would be a nice little tweak. | ||||

I guess it's arguable whether the masking in DCP name should reflect non-standard aspects or not. Personally, I like the naming to be as informational as possible, so I would like namings like "S-235" or "F-205". Other people would probably find that weird. |

I guess it makes sense if DCP-o-matic would look at the actual source dimensions after cropping. The major culprit here is probably the 'no-stretch' which forces the ar flag towards source ar.
