Hi all,
Help very much appreciated please!
Ok, so my laptop is the following spec:
I would like to record in 4K (on my pro) with the view to edit etc in the future. (There are a few clips from my amateur footage I would like to keep & use at some point)
For the moment.. I am looking for some (free?) software to downscale my videos to 1080p - so that I may appreciate / watch the output on the laptop I have at the moment, (although, I don't think the laptop can even handle this well)
I do have access to a 4K tv.. which is great when I get the chance to view some of my unedited footage (the quality looks amazing.. although the subject(s) are boring / crappy.. But I'm very impressed)
Next month I actually anticipate purchasing my first Mac.. maybe 5k (I've only ever owned Windows PCs / laptops - apart from iPhones & iPads)
This is why I'm not liking to invest much on a Windows set-up (as I anticipate purchasing final cut.. or investing in software on the new machine)
Also, what experience does anyone have with using the iPad pro? I like the thought of using it to edit my amateur footage for personal use...
I will be purchasing a 4K tv before spring also.
Ok, so the reason for all of this need for upgrade & major spend is that I am changing my (main) profession (I do other things on the side)
I have the opportunity to incorporate UAV video / photo into my existing work (after I get my permissions & learn all about photography & videography) which has been an interest I have not, until now, had the time or money to fulfil.
Eventually, I hope that my developed skills will allow for more, (professional), types of work to come my way - as I can see many types of opportunity before me.
& if it all fails - I know I will have a great time learning & pursuing an interesting hobby (maybe expensive - but worth it!)
