  RE: Magix Video Resolutions Incorrect?
  @CubeAce If you have an OLED or quantum dot LED TV you will not see a black bar on the screen as they have 'perfect black' screens as those pixels are effectively turned off and do not rely on back screen illumination. Ray, what I was getting at was

  RE: Cant edit 4k videos nicely.
  @CubeAce Ray, @macarrao is using proxy files. I doubt whether VFR is an issue. In my experience, recent phones cannot be locked to a framerate, despite what the settings can be put on. The settings are only the target, with the lighting determining

  @nicolesharp100 Hi . . . . Simply loading the video into Video Pro X14 and then exporting it as HEVC with the best possible settings (for a 60 MBd video) will reproduce the compression artifacts. . . . . Why are you still exporting at 60Mb/s? As

  RE: "Wrong" 4:3 images should have been 16:9 to fil TV screen
  @FF22 Forget this "use the entire sensor" and them crop them accordingly. I wouldn't worry about that. It is merely marketing blurb... "we made this great 4:3 sensor and you don't want to use the top and bottom? Shock horror!" they say. The fact of

  RE: Magix Video Resolutions Incorrect?
  @AAProds Hi Al. Video resolutions are historically based on camera sensor ratios which are generally 4:3 (As in 35mm and 70mm film stock) so 4K would be 4096x2160 of which I can set both my video cameras to capture. This gives some leeway when

  RE: Question regarding video upscaling
  @jak.willis For export, I'd use the MPEG-4 menu (which will give you H.264/MP4). MP4 will be the most compatible format. Set the export up for: - 1920x1080 (should already be there for your lovie parameters) - Frame Rate 25fps - Ratio 16:9 Like

  RE: Magix Video Resolutions Incorrect?
  Sony thinks 4k is 3840 x 2160 as well: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00044504 As does virtually every other Google hit on "what is 4k". Despite that, I now see the technical difference between UHD and 4k. Which raises a question:

  RE: Question regarding video upscaling
