Along those same lines...
Client is bringing in a 1080p/23.98 sequence to finish and needs it
output at 4K.
Is there any difference between doing a custom file size output in
the HD project and bringing that sequence into a 4K project and doing
the file export in there?
In my limited tests the results seem the same.

Victor is right. If your project has much size or complexity at
all, you'll
most likely hit memory limitations.
Also, and a really important thing to get a good handle on, is that
in 2K/4K
you're most likely going to be dealing with log color space. I'm
assuming
that you're working at this rez in order to go back to film, so
you'll need
to be able to work closely with the people who do the scanning, the
colorist, and the people who do the printing back to film in order
to make
sure that color stays consistent and correct.

Yes, it handles 4K, only way to play is with a HD Proxy, you can

with a HD Proxy and then render it a full res when you finished.
In my
experience, render time and response of the DS when you work the
4K full
res. It is painfully slow. All depend what you are doing in 4K. If
you are
just conforming, or if you are compositing with several layers. I
found
some stuff that do not work OK at 4K and some times just render
garbage
because a memory limitation of the current OS. If your compositing
is a bit
complex, probably you are going to experiment some problems
because of the
memory limitation, Hope Ver 8 will handle it better.

Subject: 2K / 4K workflow
Hi all,
Most of our work has been on SD, and for the first time, we might
be getting
a project that would require editing in 2K or 4K.
Yesterday, a client called in asking about the workflow, which
file format
the images should be in etc.
I didn't know the answers, but I did tell him that DS does handle
2K and 4K.
I told him I'll get back to him once I find out.
Does DS handle 4K ?
Which file format should I have the client bring the images in.
What are the project settings?
Are there any other things that I need to be aware of?
Are there any sample 2K or 4K images on the web, that I can
download and try
out the workflow ?
I was told at NAB that the next DS (v8.0) would be 64bit and would
handle 2K
/ 4K a lot better than the way it is now.
Thanks
Tomio
