Hello folks, one simple question, I am experimenting with DNx variants
and a small 20 seconds text was gigabites long!!
Naturally I got no idea of what I am doing, so can anyone suggest best settings for this

codec?
I will be working with 4K Clips ( 3840 X2160 UHDTV )
I need to bee lossless, not much of compression, so I can use the clips later

on at the final video ( Movie )
Any suggestion will be very appreciated, Thanks.

In additon to what Ann and Neil have mentioned, you might find the following FrameIO blogs to helpful:

 

I recommend that if you're creating content for social media that you use ProRes 422 LT instead of ProRes 422 HQ (macOS or Windows).

Visual lossless > Prores 422 HQ will do quite nicely. (can be huge file either).

What format are the original files?

Why not? Premiere allows ProRes exports  ....
