Dailies resolution for spherical lens acquisition is 1920 x

When using anamorphic lenses with 2:1 horizontal squeeze, please de-squeeze and double the horizontal resolution.
Dailies resolution for anamorphic lens acquisition should have 3840 on the horizontal, not 1920.

What’s the idea behind this?

We want to make it easy for editorial to have predictable dailies, and easy for you to know what to do — without having to decode some specification.

Our goal is to have dailies videos that are 1920 wide, but the same aspect as the camera originals, but only have even-number resolutions. This calculator accounts all of those goals.

Because this resolution is the same aspect as the camera originals, there should automatically not be a pillarbox, a letterbox, or any cropping. It should uniformly scale and fill the frame.
