4K XAVC S 100mbs test footage

pilsburypie wrote on 6/18/2015, 4:35 PM

Has anyone got a piece of 4K footage I can have a play with? I've googled it but can't seem to find any. Just want to see how my system handles it.

Help appreciated

For a simple playback test file, you can just take any footage you have and render it to XAVC-S UHD from Vegas.

Not sure I follow - how will that test my system's ability to handle 4K? I only have 1080 files....

Here you go. This folder contains two 24p and one 30p clips from my AX100 shot at 100Mbps.

A good test aside from applying FX to the clip is a 1sec. cross fade.

You can still render a HD file to 4K, but I also feel that the XAVC-S camera files play differently from the Vegas XAVC-S files for some reason.

You're GENERATING the 4K footage.

Played fine on my system. Full frames even at Best/Full.

Thanks for the info and clips - plays fine on the timeline but does not render properly - renders in seconds, but is absolute nothingness. Tried a 4k template and a 1080 template. What would you render to?

I mostly use Vegas2Handbrake 4K and HD for Internet but I also render to XAVC Intra, HD MPEG for BluRay or SD for DVD.

I hope you downloaded it and not just played it?

You render a UHD XAVC-S 100Mbps file from your 1080 your files and then import those new UHD files (aka 4K) into Vegas for testing performance or UHD on the timeline. Vegas will automatically interpolate your 1080 source to UHD automatically.

Got around 10fps of playback with Preview-Half quality (project 3840x2160 29.97p) on my system #1

Hmmm, my PC seems to chomp through the 4k footage no problem at all. Timeline playback is on best and seems to play without any issue or stuttering. Rendering to either XAVC at original 3840x2160 and also 1080 mp4 seems to be pretty swift too. couple of transitions, a bit of colour correction......

I'm either missing something or this 4k aint such a beast as I thought.

I'm simply asking as I'm tempted by one of Sony's new offerings, the A7rii which records 4K, but only at 30p, which I'm spoiled with 50p at the moment (1080)
