I am also upgrading my source for this to 2160p. I don’t know that I’ll be releasing a 4k version, as I’ve never done that before, but at minimum the final version of this will look significantly better than the current ones.
Cool! This always helps too if you ever need to zoom into a shot a little to crop something out. The shot in the final encode will still be 1080! I stopped releasing much in 4K because there isn’t much of a demand. But I still edit in 4K when possible.
So then will you have to convert from HDR to SDR? Or are you releasing in HDR?
The source I pointed Spence to was already SDR despite being 4K. I’m not sure if someone tonemapped it or there is a 4K SDR version on D+ for those who’s TVs don’t support HDR, but I can confirm it looks correct to my eyes.
Personally I don’t think fan editing in HDR is worth it at this point in time unless you’re planning on doing your own color grade and just want as much color data as possible to work with. Afaik the tools to do a proper HDR release just aren’t there yet at the consumer level.
