Like said, Resolve is a bit of an overkill in your case not very practical, more hassle than worth.
So I thought I would give Resolve 12 a try, since it is free, which is how I got to here.Īm I right in assuming the problem with my GX8 footage and grading is bit depth or is it something else?
I currently have a version of Powerdirector 13 that doesn't do UHD. They're quite sufficient for your GX8 mp4 files. Therefore I'd say save your money and your time, forget about Avid and Resolve for now, and go with a NLE you already have, or get yourself Premiere, Premiere Elements, HitFilm Express or Pro, Sony Vegas or a couple of other proper editors for Windows. So possible quality gain will be negligible.īesides, transcoding mp4 files into NDxHD wouldn't make much practical sense unless you plan on using Avid as your editor. The appropriate transcoders are not likely to be free, due to the licensing fee involved.īut keep in mind that transcoding those compressed long GOP mp4 files into more edit-friendly formats will not undo the damage done to the footage in camera. Unfortunately I don't know of any Windows versions of such apps, but surely there are some. Intraframe codec like DNxHD makes it easier to do editing.Ĭodecs like ProRes and DNxHD are proprietary codecs, so for the best results you could transcode your mp4 files first with a transcode app that will transcode process to real ProRes or DNxHD format. I am looking for a Windows solution, any suggestions?
You might as well use some other editor like Premiere, Premiere Elements or something similar which will take your mp4 files as is, and you'd still do all the colour grading your mp4 files will handle without breaking or turning ugly.
What do you think you'd accomplish with that?Īs a generic NLE Davinci Resolve 12 is not particularly advanced, and the grading power of Resolve would be a rather pointless overkill in your case, as the GX8 footage doesn't have much grading latitude to begin with. I want my GX8 UHD footage to work with Davinci Resolve 12, but it doesn't like the MP4 footage.
