bigmouthmedia Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I have an Atomos Assassin (love it) and a Panasonic GH4. I haven't had a chance to test it, hoping someone here has... Is there any benefit in shooting 4K in DNxHD ? Not so much for the colour space, but more so for editing - short of transcoding to something smaller in compression/screen size at post production stage, I'm wondering if DNxHD is less resource intensive and can play a lot better on a Mac. I use Premiere Pro CC on a 27" Retina 5K iMac with 24GB memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 On a Mac? ProRes, no question. Geoff CB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norliss Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I think it would purely depend on which NLE you were planning to use. If Avid MC, I'd use DNxHD. Anything else and ProRes may be a better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmouthmedia Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 I'm on Premiere Pro CC on the Mac - my Assassin can record ProRes (which I use 99% of the time) and also DNxHD. I know there's DNxRD but that's only for Avid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 What about for a PC user ? Dnxhd or prores ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prores is currently unsupported and should be abandoned as soon as possible. Zach Goodwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Makes sense ! I see adobe premiere has sequence presets for dnxhd as well. I used cliptoolz to convert to dnxhd 422 8bit when transcoding my h.265 files. Do you know any app that does dnxhd 422 10bit transcoding ? @Don Kotlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Kotlos Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Since you are using premiere your best bet is adobe media encoder . You can even automate it with watch folders. In the next premiere update there should be also a proxy editing function that does this automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmouthmedia Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Does anyone know which DNxHD setting is equivalent to 10 bit ? I can't remember if it's 220 or 220x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRenaissanceMan Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 6 hours ago, jgharding said: 220x, the x stands for 10, as in 10-bit Wow...that's cryptic. Anyone know if there's a performance difference between ProRes and DNxHD in Resolve 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
