1080p TIMELINE with 4K CLIPS mantaining all your EDITS, zooms, Facecam Ecc and restore 4K after edit

Is it possibile to edit in a 1080p time line with 4k clips (to make the pc lag less) and then scale all the edits without losing quality as had be done in a 4k timeline? It works with nesting, but i think you will lose quality. From what i'm aware Finalcut permits such a workflow. Is it possibile to have it on premiere pro? It will save me some hassle. I know there are proxies but i hate to wait.

 You can continue to work in Premiere Pro while the proxy files are being created, but if you're experiencing lag with the 4K clips to begin with then you'll likely want to wait until they're done being created.

Just select all of the Full Resolution 4K clips in the Project tab or Bin tab, right-click, and then choose Proxy > Create Proxies.  Choose Window > Progress to open the Progress tab and view the status.

Final Cut Pro classic allowed us to use Media Manager to generate a new project with a copy Sequence with a smaller frame size and transcode copies (or proxies) of source footage to a smaller frame size and then media manage that back to the original frames size project with an original frame size Sequence and then reconnect to the original frame size media; however, that's been discontinued since 2013.  Also, it was 1080 down to 480 and back up again.  2160 required custom settings and was never supported.

Final Cut Pro X offers the same thing as Premiere Pro.  It's called "Optimized/Original" and "Proxy" in FCP X instead of "Full Resolution" and "Proxy".  Like Premiere Pro you're still in a Full Resolution Timeline (only FCP X calls it a "Project" instead of a "Sequence") and in FCP X you use the View pop-up menu in the upper right of the Viewer to toggle between Optimized and Proxy instead of the Toggle Proxies button with the buttons of the Source tab and the Program tab.

    Thanks, i will probably give another try to the proxy workflow, but still i wonder if what i asked on this topic is technically possibile even in some future. It will in a way eliminate the use for proxies for 4k or 8k files if you can do all the edit in 1080 and then simply upscale the file with no quality loss. Maybe with the help of AI, which by the way adobe should implement more and more in my opinion. So many nice things you can do with that.

    DaVinci supports this scenario outcome. You can work with 4K frames on a 1080p timeline, and at the end of the process, before exporting, scale back the timeline to 4K. This is the best process.

    And in Premiere, either Proxy, or reduce the preview quality in the sequence settings at the very bottom from 4k to 1280p and your work will be more productive, since the video will not be rendered in full quality, but only in HD quality. So you will reduce the load on the system.

    Use the 'Scale motion effects proportionally when changing frame size" option in the sequence settings. Start in HD then change to 4K.

    Do a bit of testing, there are ways to break it depending on what effects etc. you're using but it should do the bulk of the work for you.

      I have seen that disabling it will mantain the zooms correctly, when activated it breaks. Thanks for the tip! unfortunately it seems that it doesn't autoscale a 4k clip automatically when switching to the 4k timeline. Funny thing I made it work once, but now it doesn't work anymore, maybe i'm doing something wrong, will do some testing

      If you go to Edit > Preferences > Media you can set Default Media Scaling to Set to frame size. This will then autoscale your 4K footage down to 1080 when you place it on a 1080 timeline. (Or autoscale 1080 footage when placed on a 4K timeline.)
