No worries man, we like what we like 👌🏻
I edit in Adobe Premiere. I don’t ever work blindly, I like to know exactly what’s going on.
My machine handles 4K playback I just fine, except when applied with colour effects etc or if it’s a weird codec.
On premiere you can set ‘playback quality’ via the preview monitor to be full, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16. Which is great because it plays back the 4K size just at a lower fidelity. That helps playback massively and it stops the choppiness you might usually expect from 4K.
Takes - I shot approx 3 takes each for the intro/verse movements where she is sat alone. For the band performance I shot 2 takes each atleast for their parts. Occasionally re-shoot a specific drum fill or pause, if they had trouble hearing and getting on time first time around.
A bit of trial and error but we solve problems quickly on shoots like this
I still think it looks very cool nonetheless!
OK I see, I have an option on SHotcut to convert the 4k into edit friendly, but it's not really doing much of a difference.
I have no idea why I wrote Finale, I meant Premiere of course. I use to play around with it, I might take it once I upgrade machine, I have a quad core i7 with a decent graphic card, but it's been a while that I wanted to change to something more silent, to improve sound quality when recording with mic.
That's practical!
Thanks for having taken the time to answer all my question mate, I'll be there for the next post!
