It means a bigger strain on your storage, your RAM, your CPU and if you have anything that will lean on the GPU a bit than that is also a thing to consider. This bandwidth requirement is not just an edius thing. 8bit vs 10bit bitdepth also increases the bandwidth requirements, assuming you are allowing the bitrates to increase as you move from 8bit to 10bit as now you have an extra 2 bits of data per colour channel per pixel.Īll that said, as you can probably see, there is a very substantial difference in bandwidth requirements when jumping between 25p/50p or 29.97/59.94p (at least double assuming equal quality). If the bitrate (bits/second) is kept the same between 25/50 or 29.97/59.94 then the quality of the encoded frames will be worse in 50p or 59.94p as they will only get half the bitrate compared to 25 or 29.97, so normally a higher framerate uses a higher bitrate to preserve encoding quality, thereby increasing the bandwidth requirements of all of your system components. 50p is twice the framerate of 25p and 60p (or more properly 59.94p) is twice the framerate of 29.97p. I think bitrate and bithdepth have a much bigger impact.The three of these go hand in hand really. Not sure but don't think 50 or 60p won't make much difference compared to 25p when it comes to edius performance, it's rare I use 50p so not much experience there. That said and also in response the below comments quoted by Noa, read on, as the following information can indeed help you make some decisions. At $3000 for a camera budget you will likely be into a prosumer camera by the time you get camera, batteries, lights, cards, filters, etc, so I suspect you will be dealing with heavier compressed files. With that said I can't really recommend a specific camera, but as a rule of thumb, a camera that uses less compression is generally a better quality image and is easier to deal with in post, at the expense of file size, camera card size and number. What codec/formats would you recommend I work with? And how would you approach this situation if you were me? Is there a particular camera that does 4k60p that you're happy with in relation to Edius? I’ll be editing with the desktop config mentioned in my signature.I don't shoot 4k/60p (my shooting up until covid killed everything was still in the HD realm), but I have been building/selling/repairing NLE systems since the mid 90's and currently work as the in house engineer and packaging person for a post house, where we have to deal with 4k, 5K, 6K, 8k, etc. I have looked on the forum and haven’t come across anything yet to help with direction on this. I think one of my considerations for choosing a camera should be what the preferred codec/format is for editing in Edius and then choose a camera that offers it. I’m looking into getting a video camera but I have no experience with 4k. This winter I will be recording documentary type video and interviews in 4k60p for HD output.
