Thank you guys for your responses. “Because they suck” is likely the most thorough and clear response I think I’ve ever received to a question lol. At the end of the day, that makes sense to me lol.
Currently I’ve been getting the 4k footage and ProRes4444″ing” it and editing that way, then outputting as ProRes4444 as well. It’s been working fine, but if the Raid can save me the step of proxying everything into 4444 then it may be worth it.
Will the Raid setup on my current iMac stop me from having to upgrade to the 5k iMac?
currently a late 2013 27inch iMac, i7 of course.
