Aspect Ratio Cheat Sheet
Calculating the required resolutions for particular aspect ratios can be tricky sometimes, so I’ve created a cheat sheet to speed up this process. Below you can easily copy the right resolutions for certain aspect ratios and frame sizes. If you spot any faults or have any suggestions for updated versions, please let me know. You can also download the file as a .pdf
Many people refer to 2.35:1, 2.39:1, and 2.40:1 but they are usually all referencing 2.39:1, with a few small exceptions. Check what your destination is expecting to receive.
