Below, you’ll find detailed aspect ratio and resolution guides. Among other things, you can use it to help determine which resolution to use in post-production when setting up a new project or timeline.
For example, if you want to control your project to a 4K 2.39:1 aspect ratio, you can use this guide to find the correct resolution settings: 4096×1716

Big thanks to Wes at Firehouse Creative for putting this content together and allowing me to share it with you here.
Scroll down to see each format and aspect ratio combination – starting with 12K resolution at the top and moving down to standard definition at the bottom. I also added some common social media formats at the end.
