Other video post tools, including Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects, can be used for de-squeezing. MoondogLabs-Squeeze from Glen Mulcahy on Vimeo. Update: Here is a video tutorial for Final Cut from one of our backers, Kyle Lowe, and below is a Final Cut Pro X tutorial from Glen Mulcahy: For the 1.33x Anamorphic Adapter, use -33. In Final Cut Pro, Aspect Ratio is similarly adjusted using the Aspect Ratio slider on the Motion tab under the Distort options.

Here's how to use Handbrake to de-squeeze video:ġ) Open your video source file (iPhone source is 1920x1080) select destination folderĢ) Select Anamorphic = Custom, and Modulus = 8 (arguably, should use Mod 2 as output file is not divisible by 8)ģ) Set Display width = 2554 (this is 1.33x1920) PAR width = 4 PAR width = 3 (Together, these give a 1.33:1 Pixel Aspect Ratio) Handbrake is a free tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. Note that the overall video quality is not great due to compression artifacts in the upload to Vimeo as 720p - we're working to correct that.

The Moondog Labs 1.33x Anamorphic Adapter squeezes a 33% wider field of view onto the existing iPhone sensor (1920x1080 used for video).

The key for video de-squeeze is the pixel aspect ratio (PAR) and display width for rendering.
