I would never pay the Adobe subscription unless I was in business and needed PP CC2018, that's just me. I tried D Resolve too, but went back to Premiere Pro CC 2018. (about a $300 upgrade but the software is free) The PowerDirector path is cheaper.mmmmm. I like Resolve but its complex and has lot of cool features but I would need to upgrade to a GPU with at least 2 GB, preferably more. So I went back to playing around in Davinci Resolve and determined that the GPU was getting maxed out during rendering. I downloaded and installed the trial version of PowerDirector and was disappointed to find that you cannot do anything in 4K until you buy it. There are a lot of options for editing programs in this price bracket and you can't check them all out so all you can do is go by the reviews. I was more familiar with the way Adobe Premier works so some things in PowerDirector are still a bit of a mystery so I'm not prepared to give it a full recommendation yet, but it looks promising. Having a grunty GFX card (CUDA) is still a necessity I think, nothing that is purely CPU based is going to be fast enough. I have an older version of Premier Elements but that was not up to the job at all The most recent edition of PowerDirector has significant speed enhancements and real-time visualisation during editing is pretty good, and rendering is quicker too. Got their ColourDirector thrown in free in a package deal. I bought Cyberlink PowerDirector for this task and it does the job. (I do understand the proxy approach to edit the 4K files.) Any savvy advise for a newbie greatly appreciated. Still a bit confused as to where to turn. I am not making Star Trek movies but I need to get something usable in the near future. I am a newbie at video editing and have a lot to learn. I am not in the mood to chase hardware requirements - no upgrades are planned. My main desktop computer is no slouch but its not a "gamer" system either (graphics-wise). The subscription BS is real turn-off for me too. I was thinking about Premiere for video but. I am evaluating Elements for photos now and it does what I need. I too have been looking for video editing software for the P4P 4K that wont break the bank. You can uncheck the Lock and adjust each one manually if you need to.) (If Aspect Ratio Lock is on, the Frame Height may adjust automatically. Which I did, by changing settings manually.Ĭhange Profile to "High".Change Level to "5.1".Adjust Frame Rate to "30" or less.Change Pixel Aspect Ratio to "Square Pixels" if necessary.Change Frame Width to "3840" and Frame Height to "2160". Update: I finally got around looking for how to export in 4k. Some of the terminology is different, but accomplishes the same thing, and it uses "shadow" files that are lower quality temp files automatically. It was only 71$ and does what I want in a fairly friendly interface. I was able to try out Cyberlink Power Director and have been using it for a couple of weeks. I tried the newer Premiere Pro Elements, but wasn't happy with the interface. I've been using Premiere Pro CS6 for several years with good luck, however, it doesn't offer the option of saving to 4k h.264/mp4 footage. In order to work Phantom 4 Pro 4K footage in Adobe Premiere Elements smoothly, a better way is to transcode Phantom 4 Pro 4K to a more "edit" friendly codec and 1080p would be the best settings. In most cases, editing 4K in Premiere Elements is very taxing on your computer. Something else, Premiere Elements now can handle 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive. I can import/edit 4k, but only export as a file? Organizer slideshow output limited to 1080p? No export slideshow to premeire timeline? No burn to blu-ray option? Am I missing something? I'd think there would be some advancement in 10 years.The problem is, H.264/H.265 encoded 4K file format from Phantom 4 Pro is beyond the compatibility of Adobe Premiere Elements(including the latest version PE 15). I'd expect a modern package like Premeire/Photoshop Elements 2023 to be able to do all of this within itself - but it appears not? What I want to do is Import/Edit 4k, create a 4k slideshow from photos and add to end of timeline, create disc menus and burn to a UHD Blu-ray at 4k 24p. With a new setup, I'm looking to start capturing video 4k and basically do the same. I used to edit 1080 24p video in premeire, create a slide show for pics in organizer, export it to premeire timeline, then export the whole 1080 24p file to H264 AVCHD - then pull into DVD Architect to create menus and create a 1080 24p blu-ray (Premeire didn't have a burn option for this) ISO file. I just bought a new computer (after 15 years) and updated from Premeire/Photoshop Elements 11.
