Sony Metadata Crop
To help with your video editing workflow, you can crop the RAW video captured from cer-
tain cameras like the Sony Alpha A7sIII, Sony Alpha 1 and Sony FX3 when recording
ProRes RAW.
So for example, when recording 4.2K ProRes RAW video on the A7sIII the resolution is
4264 x 2408. Using the metadata crop feature will allow you to record the signal as 4240
x 2385, which has an aspect ratio of 16:9. This means that you can use the 4.2K footage
in a 16:9 timeline in your NLE without having to be concerned whether the scaling of the
image is correct.
Sony Metadata Crop will appear in the Record menu, when you have an HDMI RAW video
signal that supports this feature and ProRes RAW is selected as the recording codec.
