  4k timeline or 1080?

  Posted by Stephen Reynolds on August 21, 2018 at 3:16 pm

  Hi there

  I am sure I have seen the answer for this but want to be double sure.

  So I am shooting 4K for a short film.

  There is no delivery spec required but it would be nice to have a 4k master –
  In the past I have imported 4k onto a 1080 timeline and set frame size (not scale frame size as I have heard thats not the way to do it) I have also had some 1080 slo mo so it seemed fitting
  With the short film there will be no 1080 – all 4k –
  SO
  Should I continue as i have been OR edit in a 4k timeline and when it comes to exporting a 1080 version just do it in media encoder OR edit in a 4k timeline and if i need to kick out a 1080 pull it in to a 1080 timeline set all the clips to frame size and export it from there (that would be time consuming but very doable) Will there be much difference between these?
  Also , I may be using alot of Warp stabilizer and premire doesn’t like warp stabilizer on 4k footage in a 1080 timeline.

  Would love any thoughts — thanks so much in advance

  Without a doubt, edit in a 4K timeline. When you need a 1080 version, export 1080 from the 4K timeline.
