4.5K Workflow and Redcode 42

[Anthony DeRose]

Shooting at 4.5k what is the workflow like? Is it as simple as transcoding to ProRes 1920x1080 and then using those files to edit a FCP offline? Will you still maintain the widescreen feel? also can FCP handle it?

As far as Redcode 42 is that the way to go now if your shooting on a drive and at one of the usable resolutions that 42 can be captured at? I know the default is still 36 on the camera. Does 42 create more of a problem with transcoding? I assume it takes longer since its a higher bitrate.

You can output to 16 9 1080p via a transcode, you can pan and scan or leave letterboxes

42 is most often overkill.

Sorry, Rob. I quite don't get it, what do you mean by 42 is most often overkill?

Thanks.
