Workflow for Blackmagic 4K ProRes Files

I shot 4k ProRes using a BlackMagic Production camera and I would like assistance on the best workflow to use.  Specifically, the sequence settings I should use.  Is it possible to use a native 1920 X 1080 sequence so I can resize the 4k footage as necessary?  I don't see any Blackmagic camera settings.  There are ARRI, Canon, RED R3D, XDCAM, etc. sequence settings but nothing for BlackMagic.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Daniel

    The sequence presets are a starting point for many common media types.

    I always start with Custom and set up my sequence as needed.

    Forget about the names of those presets. The normal way to create a sequence is dropping a clip on the new item icon or a blank timeline and let PrPro set it. It goes down the list alphabetically until the first one that matches the clip ... frame-size, frame-rate, p/i and sound.

    So you can do that or manually create one.

    And yea, a very common thing is to make a 1080 sequence and set the Media preferences option for scaling to "set to frame size", so you can resale at will.

    And of course, you can save that as a preset and if you use a name that is before Arri, it will be top if the list.
