Hey, I create music videos generally on 4k timelines, I export them at 4k for youtube but recently wanted to try some out on instagram at 1080p for obvious reasons, I am not fond of making a whole new sequence and then having to adjust all the sizes again. So i was wondering if exporting the 4k sequence at 1080 gives the same effect. Seems to be working fine at the moment.

Thank you

Editing 4K in a 1080p timeline gives you the opportunity to play with the composition within the frame without any loss.

I am trying to do exactly that. I have shot 4K footage with my drone. I opened this footage in 720p sequence in order to animate (pan, zoom, rotation). It looks great in the program monitor, but render is really bad.

Zorro,

I read your message and you said that your down scaled footage from your drone is of poor quality. Can you show us details about your footage in the File > Properties dialog box or provide a sample? Can you show us a screen shot of your Sequence Settings? I hope the community can assist.

Thanks,
Kevin
