Cineform and 4k

Hello is the built in Cineform codec in Premiere able to export in true 2K or 4k? I can't seem to find a setting for this. Does this standard 10 bit or 12 bit offer 2K or 4K automatically?

thanks,

Bryce

The Cineform export preset will match your sequence settings by default.

Oh okay. Now here is a question. I've been experimenting more with transcoding vs proxy and I'm just curious what happens if my transcoded footage is too big to store on an SSD? Like my current documentary as tested with transcodes is 1TB in total and I'm not even done filming yet. However the native footage in .MP4 .Mts etc in total is 400GB so far. I'm not filming all of it as it's a project I've been hired to edit with little shooting myself. If it's a mix of formats wouldn't it be best to transcode to cinfeform?

Editing requires lots of space.  If you need more, get it.

I prefer proxies to transcodes.  Takes up less space, edits smooth as butter, retains the quality of the original media.  There's no down side to Cineform proxies.


Well here is my issue. the footage I have is a non stop video recording. The filmmaker didn't stop the camera in between takes. I want to trim the mp4 files and retain the quality without huge file sizes. Can I just export a .mp4 again with the quality set on high?

Hi Bryce,

I understand that you want to know the resolution and standard GoPro Cineform supports on export.

Please refer to this article: GoPro CineForm codec support in Premiere Pro
