Hey everybody. I just asked myself which mode i would use for a project that i need to export in full hd. c4k or 4k?

 

leaving out the different aspect ratios because i mostly go to cinemascope anyway, the c4k (4096px wide) image is a little bigger and therefore has more video information. however 4k (3840xpx wide) will have a perfect 50% downsample and create 1 pixel out of 4.

 

what do you think would be better?

If you crop to cinemascope I'd go for C4K to get the wider angle of view. If you want 16:9, C4K doesn't make much sense, although you could use the information to crop a bit from left or right.

 

True, the UHD mode (3840) will give you perfect down sampling, but I don't think downsampling a few extra pixels in post is a big problem. I don't think there'll be visible difference. Easiest thing to do would be to make some shots and compare them.
