Edit Panasoni GH5 4K with Avid Media Composer

The Lumix DC-GH5 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera from Panasonic has the ability to shot 4K MOV or MP4 video with H.264 compression codec at up to 60 fps. When loading the Panasonic GH5 4K video to Avid, a lot of people complain that they can't get a smooth GH5 4K workflow with Avid Media Composer. The following article will illustrate this issue and offer the detailed solutions for you.

Can Avid Media Composer handle 4K video?

Avid has enhanced the ability to edit 4K resolutions video to Media Composer 8.31. But all previous version, including version 8, can only edit at up to HD resolutions. In addition, Avid's 4K playback is not as good as Premiere Pro or Grass Valley EDIUS if you are using native footage (ie footage which has not been converted to Avid's format). What's more, Avid's system requirements for 4K editing at quite high. You should have a dual 10 core Xeon system as an "entry level" 4K editing suite and ideally a faster computer for more 4K editing. For those people who wish to get the best editing workflow of 4K with Avid, it would be much ideal for you to use Avid's own 4K codec - DNxHR, which can perfectly handle 4K file sizes. Alternatively, you can choose to edit with the Proxy modes, which helps to drop your footage to a resolution which your system can cope with.

Best workflow of GH5 4K with Avid Media Composer

Obviously that a lot of computer that people currently use may not meet the high requirements for Avid Media Composer to handle 4K resolution video.

For those people who wish to get the best HD editing workflow with Avid Media Composer, we highly recommend you to use the DNxHD codec, a lossy high-definition video post-production codec developed by Avid for creating mastering-quality media with reduced storage and bandwidth requirements.
