rendering 8k video question - malcolmp - 2017-03-29 Hello, I am rendering in 8k for the first time. I have rendered multiple times with similar results. One example is that the file shows in windows explorer as 426mb in size, but .01 sec in length. Sometimes the file has a thumbnail, other times not. I have tried a few different video players and can't play it back. I have tried it in the default Windows media player (Win 10) Quick Time, VLC all with no luck any suggestions? thanks, Malcolm Park RE: rendering 8k video question - Gunther - 2017-03-30 Which Video Format are you using? I suspect that the rendering might have failed. 426mb seems to be pretty small. I've just made a test with 8K Prores, High Quality, 422 as well as 8K Prores UHQ, 444 and both played in MPC-Player (recommended on Windows, it's the fastest and the best http://mpc-hc.org/ - please get rid of Quicktime, VLC got worse and worse too over the last years.) Of course those 8K Videos do not play in real time on my hardware, but I didn't expect that. Current hardware sometimes even struggles playing back 4K stuff in the quality the LRT delivers. Those are master files meant for further processing in a video editor. For direct playback I always recommend rendering a Full HD or 3K MP4, it's much leaner. BTW: Explorer shows the duration correctly too for my 8k renders. Please render again, then send me the log file after rendering (info menu). RE: rendering 8k video question - malcolmp - 2017-03-30 thanks Gunther, I re-ran the rendering process and I found the right combination of settings to get a good output file. X_ProRes-422_8KUHD_29.97_HQ.mov is 4.98gb in size. I downloaded and installed MPC-Player which opened the file as you said it would. The playback is slow as you say, but at least I can see what it looks like. Thanks as always, Malcolm RE: rendering 8k video question - malcolmp - 2017-04-07 One more question if I may. Shooting with a 36mp Nikon D810a and rendering in 8K, do you see any loss or distortion as the sensor is only 95.83% of 8k RE: rendering 8k video question - Gunther - 2017-04-07 No, the video will get scaled up a bit, but that's not a problem.
