    I didn’t find a perfect solution but I noticed that one of the options — 4k at 4096 x 2304 — seems to be the same ratio, just reduced. Not 5K, only 4K but it seems to preserve aspect ratio and still allow to work in 4k at least. Hope this helps.

    Hi Steven,
    I am having the same issue with my footage from a Red Epic. Did you ever figure out a workaround?

    Thanks.

    Hey Guys,
    Just found this thread. Looking for the most storage at a similar range. Wondering what you might think about this 8TB raid from OWC for $949.
    https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEQX2T8.0S/

    It seems cheaper some of these other options. Is there a downside to it? Any thoughts are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Oscar

    I see what you mean. I meant that they would play it back off their hard drive on a computer with decent but not maxed out specs like mine. I guess there isn’t any “standard” or “universal” bitrate for this type of thing, correct?

    Thank you for the response. It would be played off of a hard drive. Good idea to do small test portions instead.

    Great. THanks! Worked like a charm.

    Thanks Will and Ty, extremely helpful. I’ll look into these options. I guess it is a bit cheap to expect to find a “multi-purpose” all in one mic that could be used for int. and ext. film recordings on a boom as well as for vocals, harmonica and acoustic guitar in a studio setting. The right tool for the right job, as dad used to say…

    Thank you.

    You are right. I should have posted in the DVD STUDIO PRO forum which is what I just did. Thanks again.

    I seem to have some success with the H.264 but I do notice a bit of a problem with the smoothness during the photo zooms(“Ken Burns effect etc” in my documentary. In other words, I have several very smooth pans and zooms across still images that when compressed become slightly jerky–almost like a step frame slow motion. The live action video seems fine. I tried to export using FILE>EXPORT USING QUICKTIME COMPRESSION – and then I set the settings for H.264 with restricting the data rate to 6000 kbits/sec. It still doesn’t play that great on my first gen Quad 2.66 MacPro but I will be giving it to others for projection with better systems. I think the “step-printing” effect is built into the file, however, because when I shrink the movie size, it plays the live action video fine but has jerky movements on the stills. Any suggestions?
    Many thanks,
    Oscar

    Quicktime=sandwich, I get it now. Most helpful. H.264 @ 8Mbps seems the way to go. Many thanks!
