Hi everyone!
I'm starting in filmmaking and i have some questions about workflow. For the moment, I use FCPX with Film Convert in stand-alone version (because FCPX is so slow with the plugin). So, maybe I do things in the wrong way, maybe what I will say seems stupid so don't hesitate to say me, I'm beginner and don't know a lot yet. And sorry for English mistakes, not my native language. :)
At first I make editing in FCPX and I export the timeline to grade it in Film Convert. My question is about the FC exportation before reimport graded footage in FCPX. I have 2 cases :
1. 4K project with 4K footage. Does Film Convert support 4K footage? The exportation doesn't suggest 4K format, I can set size manually but will I keep the same quality of footage? (Seems the exported video files from FC are a bit lighter than original...)
2. 1080 project with some 4K footage. So, this question depends of the answer of 1st question but if I have 4K footage, should I export it from FC in 1080 directly or it's better to export in 4K and FCPX will resize it in project.
Thank you in advance for your answers!
