I have just tried out H.265 support in Premiere, so a brief word on this now…

First a note about hardware. I am running Mac OS X on a PC with Nvidia GTX 970.

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. In the following article, we will show you how to downscale and convert 4K to 2K MPEG-2 videos so that you can edit 4K footage in Adobe Premiere CC without bogging down your computer. The process is surprisingly easy and can be done using Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac.

With it, you can effortlessly transcode 4K videos to MPEG-2 with 1080p settings on Mac El Capitan - - ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Premiere Pro CC. Besides Premiere Pro CC, the program also supports more professional encoders, ProRes, DNxHD, AIC, DVCPRO, HDV - ensuring the best results when editing with Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Avid Media Composer, etc. respectively. Plus, this 4K Video Converter is also available to customize the output resolutions to any size like 1080p, 2K, 4K as users want.

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 
Step 1: Add Red One camcorder recorded 4K RAW files.
Launch the program on your computer, add Red One camcorder recorded 4K RAW files to the program by clicking the “Add Video” or “Add folder” button.
Step 2: Choose output file format.
From “Format” drop-down option, choose the output format according to your own preference, for FCP editing, choose “Final Cut Pro” >”Apple Prores 422(*.mov)” to output.
Tips:
1.When converting video to Final Cut Pro oriented format templates(e.g. Apple Prores), please ensure that your computer has Final Cut Pro installed, otherwise the converted files will have audio only without image.
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.
Step 3: Customize output video and audio settings.
Open “Profile Settings” window to adjust output video and audio parameter settings according to your own preference. For smooth workflow of Red One camcorder recorded 4K RAW files with NLE programs, you are recommended to downscale 4K video to 1080p from “Size(pix)” drop-down selection.
Step 4: Start the conversion process.
After all the setting is over, go back to the main interface and hit right-bottom “Convert” button to start Red One camcorder recorded 4K RAW files to FCP conversion process.
