I only have problems with these crappy files from my DJI Phantom 4 Pro. What NLE do you use?! I also had the a6300 and now own the a6500 and use EDIUS 8.3 WG which doesn´t even need proxies in UHD on my i7 6700K. So you get the best possible quality to achieve. You can find it here and it is free, also comes with english language files: īut as said before, it´s really (!!!) recommended to use proxy files in your NLE since rendering would be done from the original files. Unluckily it currently crashes when converting to UHD/50p, H.264 Level 5.2 using the internal x264. XMedia Recode uses x264 in the internal H.264 format but also supports other formats.

You can also apply filters when downsampling to 720p for example. XMedia Recode supports Lanczos algorithms for scalig what stands for high quality. As far as I know it doesn´t alter the color information itself, but maybe your Editor interprets the files wrong if they are tagged wrong. It has many options for conversion of video and can even "tag" color information to videos.
Hi, maybe try XMedia Recode for downsampling files. See the EOSHD site and forum for more detail (and examples). It's around 10-20$ but I've heard that it's well worth the money. If you like a film-look (or just nice colours ), I suggest you take a look at the EOSHD Sony colour settings guide. I think I might need to turn them down to get a more film-like look though. I was using a modified version of PP8 with Cine4 gamma and cinema color gamut and I had the detailed and saturation cranked up. I then sharpen very carefully in post, bringing the detail back but avoiding the extremely ugly and un-filmlike halos. Don't know what's best for your camera, but at least for my a6000 it is. For a film look, it's often necessary to turn the sharpening in-camera all the way down.

The 1080p form the a6300 is really crappy (compared to the 1080p from the a6000) while the downscaled-from-a-6K-readout 4K is razor sharp. Then there's something seriously wrong, either with your eyes or with your lenses (or with your video editor?). Maybe my eyesight is not very good, or maybe my 10-18 lens is not very good, or maybe it is my monitor or the subjects, but so far I am actually having a hard time telling the difference between my 1080p clips and my 4K clips shot on my a6300. Yes, I would prefer to NOT have to sharpen in post, as you mentioned. So if downscaling, you might even need to blur to avoid moiré! That said, the 4K (1080p not so.) footage from the a6300 and a6500 is already very sharp, even when viewing 1:1. I'm sorry, language error! Indeed it's best to turn the proxies off (and thus the 4K source files on) when sharpening your footage. "For sharpening your footage it's best to turn them on for example."Īre you saying to turn on the original 4K files when sharpening? Or to turn on the proxy files when sharpening?Īh. UI is rather complicated but once I got the hang of it, it works well for me. That said, I really like Resolve because of the way it handles colours. I haven't used it yet as I don't have a 4K camera yet but I suppose it works well, without annoying colour issues. I know Davinci Resolve (Lite version) does.

Not all editing software supports proxy files. So using proxies has benefits over using downscaled footage. If you, say, do a horizon correction, that correction will be done on the original 4K source footage. For sharpening your footage it's best to turn them on for example. For the export you can choose the resolution, 4K, 1080. The idea behind proxy files is that you use the proxies for editing but the final export is done with the (4K) source files. but I have heard that it might be good to edit in cineform codec instead of proxy files, but am not sure about that. Why not edit in 4K with 1080 (or 720p) proxy files?
