This is what the 4:3 shots look like out of the camera (down-rezzed here for Twitter from 6K to 1080.)

I suppose I *also* could output this whole edit as a 4:3 version.

[Griffin Hammond @Griffin]

Here's the vertical edit, which actually shows some extra vertical resolution that's missing in the 16:9 version.

This mode maxes out at 29.97p frames per second—so knowing I didn't need slow motion for the edit—made this mode ideal.

[Griffin Hammond @Griffin]

I like to race the Great Western Half Marathon—but this year I brought my camera, gimbal and drone instead.

First time shooting in 6K anamorphic mode on the Lumix GH5M2—the 4:3 aspect ratio gave me extra height to crop vertically for the Instagram/TikTok edit.

Yes, this is the PC you helped me spec out and build senior year of high school.

We were very excited about its state-of-the-art Matrox video capture card.

Pictured: my video editing rig from 2002, freshman year of college.

I had a FLATSCREEN LCD monitor!!

Live preview via Tube TV, because interlacing & pixel aspect ratio looked wrong on a computer's square pixels. VCR to rip clips from MOVIES!

Winamp to play my cool MP3s.

The caveat I always say—you don't NEED a new camera to tell your story. (Audiences don't care.)

A @heyfilmpodcast viewer asked—"Should documentary films use transitions?"

Here’s why I love a good, clean cut.
