Author Topic: Digital Get Smart cropping??? Ben LaCrosse Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Alpharetta, GA, USA Registered: Feb 2008 posted 07-07-2008 02:06 AM                     Digital Christie xp2000-S. Doremi server thing. Does anyone with a Digital copy of Get Smart have a problem with the location and time titles being cut off on the sides? Or have heard of a similar problem? The opening credits are fine but even with the masking set to scope and zoom all the way in, the titles are still cut off. Could this be a ratio issue, or say even that is how the thing was programmed? The Narnia movie's end credits were cut on the sides as well.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 07-07-2008 02:39 AM                     Since the same kind of problem happened across more than one movie, it seems pretty clear that the problem isn't with the digital prints/files.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 07-07-2008 04:44 AM                     Probably the screen is 2:1 or something like that and they just cut off the sides with the "digital aperture plate" to match.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 07-07-2008 10:54 AM                    Get Smart should be playing in the flat mode.  |  IP: Logged Ben LaCrosse Film Handler Posts: 27 From: Alpharetta, GA, USA Registered: Feb 2008 posted 07-07-2008 01:47 PM                     Ohh it is in flat. I was just taking the masking to scope to better diagnos the cropping. Well once again with the digital, about all that can be done is to call a tech. Thanks for the input.  |  IP: Logged
