Working With 4K Footage

Hmmm… for some reason my last post didn’t make it.

Hello,
I have no experience working with 4K footage in Blender or in other software. I was contacted to do some FX work for a tv show, shot in 4K, so this could be my first at this resolution. I was considering doing it in Blender.

My question is, other than hardware fortitude, are there any other issues I’d need to consider when doing Comp/FX work with 4K footage in Blender?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
M

Well if you use the compositor it will decompress each frame into full res full bit depth, and may slow draw times right down. Consider the time impact for re-rendering elements as they may be dramatically longer.
