In this Sixty Second Tutorial we look at a simple method to Desqueeze the 1.6X Sirui Anamorphic Footage into DaVinci Resolve
1. Firstly, if your anamorphic footage is added to a standard 16x9 timeline, left click on your clip to select it and then open the inspector window.
2. In the Transform window you first need to click to turn off the linking control between the X and Y Zoom Controls so that you can change their value separately.
3. Then you need to modify the Y control to 0.635.
4. Your 1.6X Sirui footage will now display correctly.
5. Unfortunately as 1.6 is a family uncommon ratio, most editing softwares will not have a built in option to batch change all your footage.
6. The quickest way to desqueeze multiple clips is to add them all to your timeline, then left click on your first desqueezed clip and select 'copy'.
7. Now select all your remaining clips, right click and choose paste attributes.
8. A new window will open and here you need to select 'Scale Y' option and then hit apply, which will apply the same desqueeze to all your clips.
