Film and Imaging QA / Technical Training Certifications My guess is that the best results will be from bringing 4K footage into a 4K timeline, then cropping as you see fit, then exporting this cropped footage to a 1080 HD editing CODEC like DNxHD, Cineform, or Apple ProRes.įrom the tests I've done so far, bringing 4K footage directly into a 1080 HD timeline may cause aliasing and moire issues, so making your crops in a 4K timeline should result in cleaner 1080 HD footage when it's down-rezzed to 1080.- AFM, ASCAP, BMI, ACB, CMEA, Retired in good standing

Might 'proxy mode' become mandatory if one tries to bring a 4k file into a 1080p time line? ( I have SMS13 for teaching purposes, and will use Vegas Pro to edit my 4K footage )Īnother question is whether, in order to crop 4k shots for loss-less digital zoom in a 1080p project, one: a) drags 4k content into a 1080p project, or b) mixes 4k and 1080p files in a 4k project, then exports to 1080p. This is NOT the case with Sony Vegas Pro 11 / 12 / 13, where you can just drop the videos on to your editing tracks and start working right away. I don't know about working with 4K XAVC-S footage, but it really looks like the SMS13 proxy files are mandatory when editing 4K GH4 MOV files.

The broader question is whether SMS13 can import, or work with, 4k MOV or 4k MP4 files without prior recoding of each and every clip from the original 4k codec to whatever XAVC-S format SMS13 may prefer. It happened automatically when I brought in the GH4 4K footage into SMS13, so it looks like it's an automatic requirement to edit 4K video.

If Sony Movie Studio 13, accompanied by QuickTime, must re-render the MOV files before they can be edited, that is bad news.įrom my tests it looks like Movie Studio Platinum 13 has to create a lower resolution proxy file to display in the NLE while you edit, so you have to wait for the proxy file to be created before you can edit any 4K footage.īut that is an optional feature, right? SMS13 does not force one to do it.
