H264 always causes playback issues because of the scaling involved during playback.
what is your media raid system? That’s what determines if multi-cam will work. We’re doing GH4 4k multi cam playback on older Mac Pros and iMacs at our office. We drop the resolution down to 1/8 to ensure it works as smoothly as possible.

What’s your media playback system? That matters even more for realtime playback.
Also, we tend to edit in 1/2 to 1/4 resolution during our primary editing and then bring it up to full when we’re done with the primary cut.

[Marc Nibor] “It would be a lot easier if it would be possible to run multiple instances of PP”
You can import a project into another project. So you can essentially have two projects open at the same time. We use this feature all the time to import Sequences from one project to another.

Depending on where you live, this is something I could definitely help you with.
You could also look to see if there is a Post Production User Group in your area, like our Atlanta Cutters, Boston CPUG, LA CPUG and there are many others around the world. Those would also be good resources to find someone locally to consult with you.

We are getting the Deckling 4k shortly and possibly an Ultrastudio 4k as well. Will have a report once we get them and test.

Match frame to the video portion that the audio clip came from and put the audio back.
Go back to a previous cut of the project and put the audio back.
Undo your project until the audio gets back in place.
When you move clips around and change tracks, the audio will change tracks too and can overwrite what you already have in place. One way to stop this would be to lock certain tracks that you don’t want to overwrite. Then audio can’t go into that track. Such as a voice over track, lock it once all the VO is in there so nothing can accidentally get up into there.

How many filters and such are you using? Are your Previews I-Frame MPEG? If so, they will most likely re-render as QT before outputting.

[Morten Ranmar] “Regarding getting PC’s instead of Macs, just be sure you do not rely on ProRes for your output.”
ProRes output via PC is now possible. Also super easy to simply play out a timeline to a digital 4k recorder to ProRes. ProRes is not a showstopper for PC anymore.

[Nicholas Natteau] “I’m not planning on delivering 4K (much less 5K) any time soon. But I shoot 4K essentially for the creative freedom it gives me in post when mastering in 1080p. If the iMac Retina 5K works as least as well as my 2012 iMac i7 in Premiere Pro CC and AE CC, then I’m sold. But if (on an iMac Retina 5K) those CC programs can’t handle editing 4K footage or basic effects in a 1080p timeline, then that would be a deal breaker.
“I guess you’ll be the first to tell us how it works. We are already shooting, cutting and delivering 4k UHD. The 2 year old iMacs in the shop are capable of cutting with it no problem, just can’t do a lot of effects and render times are slow. I’m looking for machines that can cut well today and I can upgrade them as we move forward like I’ve done with my older Mac Pros. Right now PCs seems more cost effective today and for expansion than what Apple is offering.
