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?

My preference would still be to use proxies here.  I just pull the good parts from the long clip.

There are many ways to get the job done, though. Your MP4 idea would also work.


I did a test where I Exported the native .mp4 clip as a new .mp4 clip with the H264 setting with Maximum Bitrate and Target Bitrate at both 30. I then put this new clip above the original native .mp4 clip and selected difference in blending modes and there is like zero quality difference.

I have attached a screenshot to show you what I'm seeing when I go to blend mode and select difference.

Do you think my results are okay to do this moving forward? I understand it's not best to keep exporting with h264 as the quality gets worse and worse but what do you think about just doing this once before editing if I need to?

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

Thanks,

Rameez
