Optimising for an extended output with 4K content

Post by newfuturenow »

I have a set that requires an output of 7680 X 1080, some of the video content has been provided to me by the organisers to map to the stage and is a resolution of 3840 X 2160 /4K. The content will require a lot of slicing to fit the various LED screens.

What do you think would be best - To rearrange and re-export the 4K content via AE to fit the pixel map and the 4 pixel map outputs of 1920X1080 in After Effects. Or to create a composition of 7680 X 2160 in Resolume and work with slices in the advanced output panel?

I have a 2018 macbookpro that I havent had the chance to test at a resolution of this size, I am not sure how it would handle a composition size of 7680 X 2160, which is considerably more than 7680 X 1080.
Would it make that much of a difference, if realistically I am only using 7680 X 1080 of the display space?

7680 X 1080 is the same amount of pixels as 3840 X 2160.
I'd do the re-arranging in a 4k composition in Resolume and the Advanced Output.
Is your other footage for the event 7680 X 1080?

All the content is a mix of HD and 4K. So can I import 4K video as my content and use a composition setting of 4K and then slice this up and output it to a different size (e.g. 7680x1080) ? Is that correct ? I had always beleived that my imported video had to fit within the output display resolutions.
Thanks

Yes,

You can slice it up in every way you want. Biger, smaller, to different outputs etc etc...
