4k, 6k, 8k, 12k Videos

Can the human eye distinguish the difference between the videos created by these cameras?

[John T Smith]

I think that will depend on which human is viewing

For me, at 74 the end of this month... not so much

Hi Michael,

Here's a good article that answers that question somewhat

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150727-what-are-the-limits-of-human-vision

In video terms:

Short, less than useful, answer is it depends 🙂

Primarily it depends on screen size and viewing distance.

Also, the delivery method: camera directly to the viewing screen

or via a streaming platform with various atrifacs of compression

https://youtu.be/OhPaU0y6U2s has some numbers to explain this.

Most video professionals would I think tell you that rather than increasing resolution

the best gain is from high dynamic range and more color depth.

The good news is that Premiere Pro has you covered 🙂

I hope this helps?
