4 k or 1080 p

New on FCPX and am looking for advice on the use of the 4 k or 1080 p. I use an older iMac (screenshot). Will work with 4 K video files (even transcoded optimized and proxy files) most my tax system. It is worth to try again? Thank you, Andy

IMO you and your iMac will be much happier in 1080 as 4K if only because of the limitations of the graphics card. (Import clips and test yourself to compare the difference).

According to the codec of your original media, you may also like the 1080 editing experience more if you change in Proxy, if you change with optimized, I suggest that you set for best performance.

Also, suggest that you store your libraries and the media on an external drive Firewire, so the system drive can be dedicated to the OS and applications.

Good luck.

  • Why the export of 4 k media training in file 1080 p?

    I have a Handycam Sony AX 33 and 4 K (3840 x 2160) of GoPro, iPhone media. I would like to export clips on USB media to view on TV 4 K, so I can help decide on which to get.

    However, when you SHARE using share destinations, the result is 1080 p according to the FINDER and GET INFORMATION.

    The chronology of FCP INFORMATION display video 3840 by 2160.

    I chose the part like DEVICES APPLE 4 K. The result always is 1080 p.

    I also exported the file PRORES to COMPRESSOR, but again, the result is 1080 p, leave really nice, but 1080 p.

  • 21:9 (2560 x 1080) ultra wide screen Macbook Air does not work after macOS Sierra

    I have a problem with my LG 29UM58.-p.

    After the installation of macOS Sierra Switchresx (4.5.3) isn't my custom resolution 2560 x 1080 more. I already tried to uninstall Switchresx and took new custom resolutions, but it did not help... First of all, it did not save my custom resolutions and then he said no "installed" or "active - invalid? Also, someone said if you made an additional account on your mac and then define custom resolutions, you can then use it in your normal macaccount, but he also didn't work...

    I tried (almost) everything... before the update of the software it was working fine.  Oh and also I use HDMI to mini displayport.

    Could someone help me out here?

    Thank you very much!

    Hey man, same here. That I'm going through exactly the same thing here. I have a MacBook Air from 2013 and just bought the exact same display. I'm on MacOS Sierra.

  • 1440 p monitor recognized as 1080 p over HDMI

    I've updated to Sierra yesterday, and now my ASUS PB278 displays 1080 p instead of its native 1440 p over HDMI. This monitor has worked flawlessly with El Capitan and Yosemite on HDMI.

    I also tried to connect more love at first sight with an HDMI adapter and that no longer works.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Well Yes. Exactly the same problem you described. In light of this + problems with drivers for my Performance MX Logitech mouse (restless as hell scroll), immediately restored to El Capitan.

    Will be held off the coast of the upgrade until this issue is resolved.

  • Unable to import 1080 p, switches to 720 p

    I shoot with a Canon XA20, when I look at the file on the memory card it says 1080 p, when I import the file to Final cut pro X file is automatically changed to 720 p. I also import some clips from a gopro remaining in 1080 p that he assumed.

    Can you post a screenshot of the Info Inspector for the clip in the browser? If you open the file in QT player window inspector said it?

  • If I can shoot in 1080, but I intend to download in 720, edit in 720?

    My camera doesn't shoot in 720 p, so I shoot in 1080 p. I always download my long program of weekly time in 720 p. Should I use a 720 p timeline? If so, this should make the faster encoding, right?

    Thank you.

    Tom

    UUnless get you I don't think it will make a difference in the export. However, the 720 offers the advantage of cropping.

  • Make a movie with clips of 1080 and 4 k sources

    Hi all

    If I do a movie with clips of 1080 p sources (like my iPhone 6) and 4 k sources (like my GoPro) I'll still be able to export the animation to quality 4 k? Is there something specific I need to do to keep export k 4 option in iMovie available i.e. the order I add clips in the project, etc.? Will be 1080 p "blasts upward" clips at 4 k resolution?

    Thank you for your help.

    Miles

    10.1.2 iMovie will use the size of the first element that you add to your project to determine the format of the exported movie.

    See Help: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/move6ccb3330

    The resolution and the frame rate of your movie project are determined by the first clip you add to the timeline. iMovie now supports 4 K video and image rates at 30 frames per second (fps). If you want your project to be set at 4K resolution, the first clip you add to the timeline should be a clip of 4K. If you want your project to be set to 60 fps, the first clip you add to the timeline should be a clip of 60 frames per second.

  • Burn a disc to 1080 50 p

    I imported and edited a film in 1980 x 1080 50 p. How can I burn to a disc in this resolution? It is a short, and if I try to burn it as a BluRay to DVD does it automatically at a resolution of 720. When I used film to 25i, it allowed the 1080 resolution most important.

    toast, or a compressor do? And I would need a separate BluRay burner, or I would be able to do as a BluRay to DVD?

    Or, after getting to 50 p, can I reduce to 25 and burn it to 1080?

    I burn some kind of record for a film club showing, but I want to make the best possible record.

    I have just FCPX. IF I don't want to spend the extra money on programs and burners, I better stick to 25i or p for the filming of the future?

    The Blu - ray specification does not support the 50 p or p 59.94 HD, only in 4K.

  • My iMac 27 "was missing from the option of resolution 1920 x 1080 since the day I bought it. Apple said it should be fixed in future updates to OS x, but that didn't always happen.

    I have a beginning 2013 27 "iMac I customized with all the best options at the time. Since I bought it, the resolution options have displayed no 1920 x 1080 option, I tried several things as now the option key while noting key worked. In years past, I asked Apple several times about this, and their response was always 'it should be fixed in next update OSX." Well, its been a few years already, and 3 new releases OSX and the problem has never been resolved. I'm pretty sure its a problem with the graphics card from Nvidia, but I can't contact them for support because they can't really do anything. It is not like I can update the drivers for the card, software update is supposed to handle this.

    I think that its ridiculous that I had this problem for so long without help at Apple. It isn't that I'm missing a non-standard resolution.

    What happens when you:

    Define the main screen resolution

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click view, and then click display.
    2. Select chipped, then select one of the options of resolution nationally.
  • Windows 10 Pro: Firefox 40.0 constantly using 75 to 85% of cpu with HTML 5 1080 p video playback

    Firefox version 40.0 can no longer play videos from youtube.com without ridiculously high levels of cpu on my 10 Pro 64-bit Windows System. The non-video HD, the cpu is using Firefox level is a constant 45 to 50%. On change to 1080 p HD, Firefox 40.0 now consumes a staggering 75-85% of cpu. It started since the upgrade to Firefox 39.

    Opera of 31.0, Edge and Internet Explorer 11.0.10240.16384 all use less than 20% cpu when running HTML5 or Flash in mode HD 1080 p on the youtube.com site.

    Why Firefox works at 75-85% of the cpu on my system? Video on youtube.com is rough and stutter and 40.0 Firefox is having a devastating effect on the proper functioning of my entire system, mounted in power overall cpu usage just up to 100%. He managed to slow down my entire operating system. I've never had this problem with Firefox before, not even in many Insider Preview of WIndows 10 Pro versions.

    No one knows what causes this unacceptable amout of use cpu 40,0 Firefox and how to fix it? I already uninstalled Firefox completely and re-installed. This had no effect on the cpu extreme use.

    You use NVIDIA? It of because they were disabled, so more processing power to use hardware acceleration.

  • 1080 p 60 fps video stutters when played on television

    I usually take video 1080 p 60 fps on my iPhone 6 S more and change it on the phone with iMovie. After uploading it to Vimeo to iMovie, however, I notice that he stutters when read with the Apple Tv, as if executives declining. I was wondering if someone has a similar problem and if there is a way to solve it. Thank you!

    So to properly understand, you read the video to Vimeo on your AppleTV?  All other videos stutter in the same way? What is stuttering video when read in Vimeo on your iPhone or on the web? If you export the video to your camera and use Airplay to watch on your AppleTv, she stutter as well?

    The problem is it could be a problem with Vimeo, the network connection to the AppleTv, playback of files of 60 frames per second on the AppleTV himself, or iMovie exported files. If you can eliminate some of these conditions, it might help narrow down to the root causes.

    The only thing causing a problem from the point of view of iMovie pourrait would be to make sure that you export it in 60 fps by selecting it in the settings app.

    With respect to the AppleTV, ensure that you have installed new software updates and that you have a good internet connection speed.

    If it's Vimeo... Sorry, you're on your own with that one

  • Can I connect 1080 p TV 48 "to my iMac in early 2009

    If I use a mini port screen hdmi adapter, can I connect a TV external 48 "1080 p on my iMac in early 2009.

    EveryMac.com seems to say there is a limit of 30 ", but they throw in some dimensions of the screen of

    2600 x 1600 and I don't know how this fits - I get my TV is 1080 p - 1920 x 1200?

    Any clarification would be appreciated.

    Take a look-> On Mini DisplayPort to HDMI - Apple Support adapters

    You shouldn't have any problem due to the size of your TV, but more probably to the resolution of your TV. However, your iMac supports up to 2560 x 1600 resolution for an external display and your TV got a lower resolution (1920 x 1080), so it should work.

    (Please note that your iMac does not support streaming audio via the Mini DisplayPort connector, then you will not get audio on your TV).

    If no real difference which would indicate that the GPU is the bottleneck since the two would read the HD at the same rate.

  • Try to do a 1080 p Quicktime file - 20 GB is too big!

    Hello

    I'm trying to export a project exhibition at a film festival.  It should be Apple ProRes 422 HQ and 1080 p.  The original material was Apple ProRes 720 p files.  When I export it with parameters ProRes/1080 p file is 20 GB, too big to put in a box or on google reader.  Anyone know how I can make this smaller file and always respect the specifications of the film festival?  I have Final Cut Pro 7, Compressor 3.5 and 10.4 of Quicktime.  Thank you!

    You have a few questions here, but to address the issue of size - what's your movie?

    1920 x 1080 ProRes HQ @ 29.97 is about 27.5 MB/sec.

    20 concerts is 20480 MB about, is your movie a dozen minutes long?

    If it's the specification of entry, you must join. Do the orientation presentation suggests methods to provide the entries?

    Also - you are upscaling your 720 p to 1080 p source material, this upscaling will have an impact on the quality of your image, you're OK with that?
