Example that was processed on my 1080p computer in VideoPad Pro at 4k, then uploaded and presented by Youtube in 4k:
Got my P3 Pro during the Black Friday sale. Good deal i thought but the only thing i completely forgot was the 4K limitation on my computer.
Although i have a better than average PC (i7, nvidia card) it still cant play 4K video let alone edit it in 4K.
Had to convert the the 4K video to 1080 or less in order to view or edit it. Now instead of shooting at 4K vid I'm just taking 1080 so i dont have to go through the pain of converting the video.
Unless you have a new PC with 4K vid capabilities i would stay away from the pro unless of course you get a great deal on it.

Nobody has said this yet: If you shoot in 4K and reduce it to 1080, the 1080 video is sharper than if you shoot it in 1080.
Why? Because when the video is downscaled, the noise is reduced...among other things. You Want 4K...all the editing programs edit in 4K by making a low-res copy of the incoming video and using that for editing... then it "renders" it to anything you want (using the original files). You could use Sony Vegas on your machine... edit in 4K with proxy (automatically done) and render it out at 4K...then put that file into a standalone media player that does 4K (cheap)..and pump it into a real 4K TV. Bam!
Video Editing Software. Download Free Video Movie Editor This link says it's available for Mac OS X as well.Is Video Pad an Apple Software?
BTW Adobe Premier Elements will edit 4K. For the price, it's a pretty hard editor to beat.Got my P3 Pro during the Black Friday sale. Good deal i thought but the only thing i completely forgot was the 4K limitation on my computer.

Apparently, you missed the part about 4K requiring a larger screen to make a noticeable impact...
Agreed. I'm using the version 14BTW Adobe Premier Elements will edit 4K. For the price, it's a pretty hard editor to beat.
Shooting in 4K gives me more pixel information to use in post editing, even when my final product is in 1080p. I can produce a better professional product shooting in 4K, do all my color correcting/grading, then render in 1080p for use. It gets technical but there is a use for it even if you are not viewing it in 4K. FYI.Got my P3 Pro during the Black Friday sale.

You can view it with the the free VLC media player, download is free. Edit with Nero 2016. 4K is shaper even compressed to 1080p.Shooting in 4K gives me more pixel information to use in post editing, even when my final product is in 1080p.

As a working film editor in a large movie studio, I can tell you that shooting 4K and then editing on a 1080 timeline is very common and has advantages. This is because you get exceptional clarity down converting the 4K to 1080. Not to mention the fact that you can punch in (Zoom into frame) without losing noticeable resolution (up to about 180%) if you require to. Many production houses that deliver HD material to their clients shoot in 4K for this reason too.

I have got a crappy old (2 years old) Surface Pro 2 and it plays the 4k video perfectly, and I use Corel to edit it, again without any issue...Got my P3 Pro during the Black Friday sale. Good deal i thought but the only thing i completely forgot was the 4K limitation on my computer.

This isn't about whether to shoot 4k or not. The OP simply does not have a machine with the ability to edit 4k.
You obviously have not understood my post!! So your comment is ignored!
