H.265 is demanding on the GPU and I have not tried it on my Macbook Pro yet. I have no idea if the mediocre ATI cards in the Mac Pro have built in hardware support for H.265 like the latest Nvidia 9xx cards.

So on performance I can only speak for the GTX 970 for now. This is a £250 card, so certainly not the most expensive. So if you are not trend to buy a one, is there another way to edit the 4K in Premiere CC?

If you wanna edit 4K videos in Premiere CC or previous version without any problem, you'd better downscale 4K footage to 1080p and transcode the 4K stuff (formatted/encoded in R3D, XAVC, XAVC S, MP4, MOV, MXF etc.) to a more-editing friendly format, such a Premiere's MPEG-2.

Red One 4K videos to FCP X

I have video from a RED ONE that was shot in 4.5k. I want to edit it in Final Cut X. How do I properly convert this footage to edit in FCP X so I can revert it back to 4k for coloring in post and not lose resolution in the process. Can anyone give me advice on what will effectively edit 4K (like processor wise and memory wise and graphics card wise., etc?) Maybe the current iMac will do it. I’m not sure. Maybe a low level version of the new Mac Pro will do it, I’m not sure. I’m an artist, not a technician.

Before solved the problem, I would give some information about Red One, and why you guys cannot handle the original 4k video in FCP X.

Two generation Red One

The first Red Ones were outfitted with the 12 megapixel Mysterium sensor, capable of capturing up to 120 frames per second at 2K resolution and 30 frames per second at 4K resolution

The second generation, Red One Mysterium-X has a 14 megapixel Mysterium-X sensor. It captures up to 120 frames per second at 2K resolution and up to 30 frames per second at 4K resolution. With the upgraded sensor, the Red One Mysterium-X offers more dynamic range, higher sensitivity and enhanced color management tools than the Red One Mysterium.

Why you guys cannot handle the original 4k video in FCP X

There are many, many flavors of 4K files, and more to come. RED camera for example can be setup to shoot uncompressed RAW 4K, 3X compression, 5X compression, 8X compression, and 10X compression.

With an iMac, or even with the new Mac Pro, to handle 4K workflows effectively, you would have to add-on a Thunderbolt expansion chassis with a RED Rocket card or RED Rocket X card, at least one or two powerful graphics cards such a the GTX 680 Mac Edition, and a beefy Thunderbolt RAID like a Promise Pegasus 6-drive model. All the costs over $18800 totally.

That is to say, there is unfortunately no way you will be able to edit native 4K files at any of the higher quality, lower compression rates. The only alternative on a Mac would be to transcode to a lighter codec, such as Pro Res. Well…yes, if you convert to ProRes and scale to 2K for editing.

Solution Here

The best solution to edit 4K video on Mac with FCP X is to convert Red One 4K RAW files to Apple ProRes codec.Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac may help you a lot on this convert part, this is the top 4K video converter on the market, it can convert any 4K videos recorded by Red One camcorder or other Red 4K camcorders, Sony 4K camcorders, Panasonic 4K camcorders, Canon 4K camcorders, JVC 4K camcorders, etc. Why need to convert 4K video on Mac to Apple ProRes codec? Because Apple ProRes codec is the native supported video codec of FCP X, once you convert 4K video on Mac to Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 4444 codec for FCP X, you will be able to edit Red One 4K videos with Final Cut Pro X smoothly. Now please download the the 4K video converter and follow the steps below to convert Red One 4K RAW files to FCP X Apple ProRes.

How to Downscale the 4K Red One RAW Video to Apple ProRes 422 for Editing in FCP X

2.If you are using FCP X, please make sure you have installed ProApps QuickTime Codecs, or you may get files with sound only without video.

Download 4K Torrent Movies/Videos for UHD TV

Even if a part of people still recognize 1080P is the best resolution for devices and digital files, we should admit that 4K is the inevitable trend in multimedia technology and has been available for TV, camera and online streaming.

A Quick Introduction to 4K and Ultra HD

Before we get started, it’s worth taking a moment to explain a few things about 4K and Ultra HD (UHD), two of the most popular terms in TVs right now. First of all, they’re actually different, though not notably so. A 4K resolution is 4096×2160 pixels, while Ultra HD is 3840×2160, which means it’s slightly narrower. There’s very little real-world difference, and both 4K and UHD will provide a noticeable improvement from 1080p HD. Another name for Ultra HD is 2160p.

You’ll get some people telling you that 4K is a professional production standard, while UHD is a consumer and broadcast standard, and that 4K really only means that there’s a horizontal resolution of about 4000 pixels, which means there can be some variation . . . and those are both true. But for the most part, you’re fine using them interchangeably.

Another thing to note is that some services require that you have a specific TV or 4K decoder chipset for you to watch Ultra HD content. I’ve tried to point out where this is the case below, but when in doubt, check the manufacturer’s or provider’s website.

Where to Download 4K Content

Now that you have an idea of where to get started on finding 4K content for your new 4K TV, it’s time to get out there and put it to use! Let us know what you’re able to find and the strategies that you find useful for finding 4K movies, TV shows, and videos.

There are several online streaming services offering 4K materials. Some of them are free and some others requires subscription fee for watching, streaming or downloading.

YouTube – Support for YouTube 4K video uploads began in 2010. From December 2013, YouTube uses VP9 compression standard for video and offers a 2160p option in quality menu allowing users to view 4K content.

Vimeo – In early December 2014, Vimeo announced that it was ready to be a 4K capable platform. There are 17,539 videos tagged "4K" but only Vimeo PRO members are empowered to stream and download 4K content on Vimeo.

Dailymotion – Dailymotion has pushed out a re-designed video player with fully support for 4K resolution driving users to obtain the superb viewing experience across platforms.

Netflix – Limited 4K movies and TV shows are available to watch and stream if you pay $11.99 one month for subscription. Note: 4K content streaming are only supported by special TV models.

Amazon Instant Video – Like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video includes a certain number of charged 4K movies/TV shows and offers download and stream.

Handle with Problems With 4K Video and Most popular 4K players alternative

Windows 7 is having a real issue with the 4k Video files I have. When I right click > properties > details, the frame height and width doesn't exist. Windows media player will only play audio, and VLC lags badly. I finally ended up finding a player that could play 4K, but I'm curious why the files don't have height/width.

Even after rendering 4k from a video editor, the file details show nothing. I should also mention that the icons have no thumbnail.

I'm kinda curious about all these problems but mostly about why the file details don't include Frame width/height. I think it's causing problems with windows media player reading it correctly, because WMP will only play audio.

In the last two years, more and more videos and movies are produced and edited to 4K resolution. Along with this wave, 4K also came to famous streaming video hosting sites like YouTube, Vimeo and others. Generally speaking, you can watch 4K videos in two ways. The one is buy a 4K video player, connect it to 4K display for watching 4K content. While the other one is download 4K from web and play them on computer, mobile or portable devices. Whatever the case, for better enjoy 4K files, owing a superior player is the premise.

Simple recommendation of top 4K players

A bunch of short video clips also will be packed in. Sony has already launched 4K displays and will going to launch two sets of highly cost-effective 4K TV in the following month. These products provide customers great chance to play 4K videos. Set the player to match with high definition display, turn your living room to a mini cinema. Another good news, the fee-based video service will be available in the near future. At that time, users can download more 4K movies and videos from the library.

The RED company is the pioneer in the 4K digital camera field. And now, RED’s cinema player is ready for pre-order. This player has a cool name, REDRAY, which priced at $ 1750. For playing 4K videos with REDRAY 4K video player, you should convert videos to the special .RED file with the inbuilt encoder first. Then, just import the .RED files to SD card or USB drive and insert it into player. The rest thing is connect REDRAY player to 4K display or projector, select the video for watching.

Players from Sony and RED are quite expensive, not everyone can afford it. The fact prompts some people to choose the alternative way, watching 4K with computer. Then, which players can support 4K video playback?

Best 4K video players for computer

Media Player Classic – Home Cinema is a full-featured video player. The app is free and flexible, embedded with various of codecs which enables users to watch any type of video and audio formats. Although you play a large sized video, Media Player Classic can load it in a moment. Take a simple click, it’s super easy to play 4K videos in full screen mode. However, it can be installed on Windows only.

Legendary open source video playback application VLC — widely known for compatibility with a huge number of file formats — received a noteworthy update today. Version 2.1 includes improved audio processing, including proper and complete support for surround sound output. But most notably, this is the first version of VLC to offer 4K playback, though it's still in its preliminary stages. It's still incredibly difficult to find videos at such high resolution, but with a number of 4K TVs and monitors on the market there is certainly some interest.

Play 4K Video in VLC

VideoLAN has also updated its Android and iOS ports of VLC, with the former now offering support for far more devices than in the past. There are also new "partial ports" of VLC for Windows Phone 8, Windows RT, and the "Metro" interface in Windows 8 and 8.1. Among a list of improvements, video playback itself should be tightened up on mobile devices.

In order to play them easily with VLC, converting 4K to 1080P is a good choice to make 4K video more compatible and keep HD quality. How to convert/compress 4K videos to common used video formats?
