2.35:1 and Vimeo
Just wondering how people go about this? I edit with letterbox guidelines and then crop the footage when it comes to exporting. This means I don't get black bars in the thumbnails which I prefer. Is that what everyone else does? I suppose you could upload a 16:9 frame as the thumbnail instead?
Thanks, Nathan |

Re: 2.35:1 and Vimeo
Yeah, except that one has letterboxing going on! I think the issue I have is that for wedding highlights I release as a cropped 2.35:1 and for other things where I'm not trying to be cinematic, I do 16:9. This means that when I embed the thumbnails into Wordpress I get different sizes. So I think the way around it would be to place a 16:9 image as the thumbnail... I guess I'm just answering my own question really! I was just wondering what everyone's preferred method was, or if there was an excepted method.

Re: 2.35:1 and Vimeo
Are you using the Vimeo embed code in Wordpress? You might need to tweak the dimensions to show the thumbnail correctly.

Yeah, I think I was using the oEmbed function and the template (Uncode) was doing something weird with it. I guess I'll have a chat to their support. Thanks.

Re: 2.35:1 and Vimeo
I only get that on this forum when I embed a 2:35:1 video as it automatically adds the letterboxing, if I embed the same video on my personal wordpress blog or on my business website (which is also based on wordpress) it doesn't add any bars and I get the 2:35:1 aspect ratio.

Re: 2.35:1 and Vimeo
I do all my highlights in 2.35:1 aspect ratio, even in vimeo, Facebook and my blog page it all shows in that format without the black bars.

Re: 2.35:1 and Vimeo
That seems kinda complicated, I just start a project in Edius with the right aspect ratio and that's it, no need to do anything else really. If I"m shooting with my jvc I don't have to recompose in Edius either as the camera can just overlay the 2:35:1 aspect ratio on the viewfinder so I can live see how to compose my shots.

Like Noa, my camera lays 2.35:1 guidelines that I shoot with. Noa, I'm not sure what your package is, but do you offer the speeches/ceremony etc separately? Do you do those in 2.35:1? I find that sometimes my framing is a little off when I export 16:9 as I've been framing for 2.35:1 which makes me thing maybe I should just release everything as that! |

Re: 2.35:1 and Vimeo
A couple of strips of tape on the rear screen is the low tech solution to framing for 2.35:1 if your camera doesn't have guidelines.

Re: 2.35:1 and Vimeo
Make that transparent tape unless you don't want to cover up essential data that's displayed as well :)
