Hi Face Off

Would it be possible to have a pre defined render resolutions like
1K
2K
4K
5K
6K
8K
?

Out of curiosity, at which aspect ratio?
To elaborate (for those who may requisite it)

Some of them are defined in popular "standards", others much less or not at all.

For instance (to demonstrate with a few examples), 2K (DCP), 4K (UHD, DCI) while 6K is typically an arbitrary camera maximum resolution (it varies between camera models, as it's a recording resolution it's not restricted as the delivery/consumption defined specifications).

In the absence of that information, one would tend to default to 1:1 (square) but unless everyone is rendering for Zack Snyder (so to speak), it wouldn't be that ordinary.

There is a Film Settings list (at least in Standalone). In some earlier versions, this list was an editable text file on Windows OS. Is it still the case?

In the meantime, for both Standalone and plugins, there is this free download ORBX resource on formats (aspect ratio, sometimes resolution and camera virtual sensor).

PS: this page was submitted as feature request for the implementation of more modern "industry" formats in both still and motion picture photography.

Sorry for the late reply on this. This feature has been implemented in one of my other plugins, however it highlighted that it was not a trivial thing to add. There needed to be a way for users to add their favorite resolutions, as every user wanted different resolutions in the combo box. So I would say that 'yes' it can be done, but it is enough work for what is ultimately a very small benefit that I don't think it is something that could be justified doing.

Thanks
