Sorry missed your comment 6 days ago. Glad it helped.

Glad it helped. Happy New Year!

G;as to know it helped.

On the downside, at some point between exiting premiere, editing that text file and opening it up again, my audio files were corrupted. Not sure if it was a consequence of the change or just weird timing but damn. :-/

I have been away for a few days so only just seen this comment. Glad it helped.

Thanks. CC is changing all the time, of course, but not a lot has changed to do with 4K since I made this video.

Indeed, though what I found most helpful was the information on how to adapt CS6 to the task of editing 4K. I'm one of those guys that absolutely *hates* the idea of renting software so I will be using CS6 to the bitter end. :-)

I can understand that. I use CC all the time now, of course, so I was quite surprised when I came make this video how I could do so much in CS6. I think the biggest problem in the future is finding some new formats which do not work in CS6.

You are welcome

Glad this video is still helpful.

When exporting the type of original footage is not important. What is important is what the final size is and the frame rate. If you are exporting at 4K resolution you need a setting that suits that. If exporting at HD you need a setting for HD. So, for example, if I was editing an HD timeline I would export at HD resolution and set a bit rate of 15-25Mbs depending on how big I want the file to be. It would not matter if the original footage was HD, SD, 4K or 6K it all becomes HD because that is the size you are exporting.

I found using MOV files as the recording format in the Gh4 works better in Premiere than using MP4, although the difference is not great. You probably just need more processing power. If putting 4K on an HD timeline it needs to be rescaled so your graphics card is doing that and a better graphics card may help. If using 4K on a 4K timeline then the work is done by the CPU and if it is dropping frames the processor is not good enough and you need to upgrade it. What system have you got?

Do not use scale to frame size. Instead set the scaling in the Effects control Window. That should keep the quality of the original when scaling.

You are right. I am not sure where I mention it in this video but if it says 3140 somewhere its a typo.

That was not a problem for me ;-) The instructions where really helpful. Would've never figured out about the level settings. KZfaq btw recommends High, not Main for the H264 codec. Don't know what is the difference. Codecs are way to complicated for normal users to understand.

Just put the footage on a 1920x1080 timeline and scale it to fit using the motion effect. It will just double the frames used so the movement will still look the same as 25P. You may be able to make it look more like 50P footage by changing the frame blending and using optical flow. This will make it look a bit more 50P ish but take a long time to render.

Hi David, Thanks for your reply. I´ll give it a try.

Blackmagic is a card which you buy and put in the machine to get a video output. It lets you see the picture on a TV attached to the computer and capture footage but you can edit 4K in Premiere CS6 without it.

@@dvcltd installed it but didn't work..could see it in cs6 but when i clicked something premiere pro crashed.

Yes, but you have more hassle setting the correct parameters, and CC has more options.

I do get quite a few errors loading MXF files into Premiere although mostly these are "unable to losf s frame" and premiere works round it. If the clip does not load at all it may be corrupt. Alternatively, if you are loading it into CS6, it may be a format CS6 does not support.
