1080 seems good to go, I know higher resolutions are the future but the higher resolutions take hell lot of time to edit and render not to forget the storage time and costs.
This was the best informative/explanation I've seen about the video resolution. This is a question of no answer, but pure common sense. Congrats to you buddy. So easy to like your videos.
I really like how you really got in depth comparing 4K and 1080p ..sadly many people don't understand the two when it comes to detail but HANDS DOWN! nice video .
Both have there place. I think people are used to bad 1080p like what RUclips delivers and also alot of DSLR's. If you ever have used a good cinema camera, the 1080p out of it looks stunning, not far off from 4k at all surprisingly. I used to shoot everything in 4k with my Panasonic G85 because of the bad 1080p, but since I have had my GH5s I have used the 1080p in a lot of projects because it looks great. Saved me a lot of time for smaller projects as well as I don't need proxies. One thing I would note, if you are using 1080p is to upscale to 4k when delivering to youtube. As the compression is massive!
There is also another input to take into account when deciding to shoot 1080 or 4K: the max framerate. Most drones allow only 24-25 or 30 fps, whixh, I believe, results in really jerky footage, unless you are shooting landscape while moving slowly. 50 fps allows you to shoot moving scenes really smoothly. Another hint if you want to reduce jerks is to use and ND filter in order to allow longer exposure (1/50 second)
Sometimes the stuttering is caused by the video codec. Computers have a hard time decompressing the video as you scrub or play it. A good way to test if this is the case would be to convert the video to a lossless compression format and then edit with it. (the hugest downside to this is the size of the video files, but you will usually find they scrub and play really nicely).
You've raised some interesting points about the whole full HD versus 4K thing. Over here in the UK, our mainstream broadcasters (BBC1, ITV, Channel 4, Ch 5 etc) aren't transmitting in 4K. BBC shoot in either 1080, 2K or 4K for nature and wildlife footage but it will be down scaled for normal broadcast. Also since not everyone has super fast home broadband capable of streaming UHD/4K video let alone owning a 4K tv, then a lot of 4K footage is pretty pointless or it has to be compressed to hell and ultimately looks a bit 'fake' looking. The decision to shoot in 1080p or UHD comes down to the customer and the job requirement. Ultimately when you're making videos for other people, it's far more important in the real world to have smooth streaming quality HD than an over-processed lower frame rate or stuttering 4K video any day. I have no doubt that 4K will become mainstream but not just yet.
Ok Just a small comment to say I watch this on my iMac 27" 5K Desktop and the Movie looking Stunning and might I add you have stunning blue eyes close up . I have a 55"4k SUHD TV by SAMSUNG a Series 9500 and this You tube vlog looks amazing to.
Hi Ed, great video, and this is also something I am pondering about. I am not a professional videographer, just shoot some hikes with my dog. I recently purchased the Osmo pocket, and it has the ability to shoot 4k, but I am still not sure if I will use it and what the benefits are. Not sure if this relates to this topic, but everybody in the Osmo pocket community, wants to shoot 4k, because it is sharper, but then also adds ND filters to get the cinematic motion blur... this sounds to me as a contradiction, Shoot 4k for sharper image, but then add a filter to blur it up.
The first vlog i saw from you but not the last, nothing new for me, BUT very well done nice to follow and watching with a little humor. Following cause i am sure the are themes I dont know enough, greetings from Vienna, Austria!.
For me the only reason to use 4K is if you want to do post zoom/pan etc. As output 1080p looks plenty good! On my 65" TV and normal viewing distance i would probably not be able to see the difference if not really trying hard and having the same source switched between resolution right after the other. When on my computer i never go full screen anyways. And on a phone... well no need to comment i guess ;)
Thank you very much. In the office we process all between HD and 7K. Is disgusting when they are filming in Big ress. But client needs that shit for something. I cant complain
I shoot it all in 4K. I can always zoom in and retain high quality. Additionally, I provide (so that means exports out) in 1080p. Providing 4K is an upcharge.
Hi Ed I was having the same problem, the more cuts and edits I made the slower the video would get. Adding sound created more slowness and then slow mo or speeding up created even more stuttering and jerkiness during editing. I had good hardware but the 4K was slow as crap on Premiere Pro. As someone else mentioned I found the solution which is the Proxy option. It eliminates all the problems. Yes the computer takes a bit of time at the start to make the lower res proxy files but after that you can edit with the low res 1080P clones and they play the video smoothly. The final product is made using the original 4K footage so it looks the same when your finished. You can toggle between the two while working if you ever need to. Check out this video. A guy named Svavar and Robbyg on Mavicpilots bought the solution to my attention. helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/how-to/proxy-media.html Peace !!
I always shoot at the highest res & frame rate each camera can support. Sometimes this is 4k, but not if I want a higher frame rate for example. So end result is there is always some 1080p footage in any project I'm working on, so at the end of the day I'm always exporting final output to 1080p. But that gives me the ability to digitally cut and zoom as Ed mentioned. However, he was talking about shooting in 4k and outputting 4k - so I don't get how he says he can do the insets and zooms without quality loss (unless exporting to 1080). Shooting at higher res than export size also allows better stabilisation, fine tuning composition and more. So I guess what I'm saying is until I can shoot in 8k I can't see me exporting to 4k.
I think 4K is better ,although my computer is not powerful enough to do any realtime editing things , even in 720P ,but it could handle after the source videos were cached to the low resolution .so the realtime editing is not the problem, it just takes my time to pre render the caches . the disk space I think is the problem really ,there are just two way to solve "buy more huge hardisk" or "delete the used source videos"
I'm new at this so to be honest this is why I watch this videos, to learn. So thanks for all the info bud. So I'm guessing that based on my computer 1080 would definitely be ideal for me. I don't think I've touch this settings on my MAVIC since I purchased it. I'll definitely check it out today. 😊👍🏼 Thanks ed.
No. yes, not really, and only if you have shit internet. 4K is important to me to preserve more detail. the room is fine I just throw away useless clips. if you use proxies it's very easy to edit. and I only get max 3Mbps upload and 4K uploads don't take too long.
Great video. really enjoyed! You have summed it all up. I am finding 4k difficult to manage even with the Ninja V ProRes codec. Big file sizes, slow to upload etc. My iMac is around 5+ years old and struggles. I think I like the idea of 2.7k.
My drone doesn't have a gimbal so I shoot in 2.7k, apply stabilization and then scale down to 1080. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on shooting at 60fps.
I use 1080 unless it's a small portion. It takes forever to upload 4 k on YT only had one person ask for 4K. Just got the mavic pro drone today my phantom at 2.7 k is best I agree.
I still shoot 1080. More pixels dosent equal good cinematography, so I've spent money on lens upgrades as opposed to sensor ones as I feel that's going to make a bigger difference to my overall image quality. That's not to say I wouldn't like to shoot 4k if possible, just can't afford it atm
I was even satisfied with those big fat television watching Scoobydoo or Swatcats back in 90's ....its all with the advertisement and the desire which is killing us all ...
Hey Ed, would like to see you try a simulated dolly zoom (with drone footage), which you could do by cropping 4k down to 1080. Make use of sudden 'jumps' in position would look good too. Enjoy your vids.
Hey thanks for watching! I actually do some of those types of zooms/pans with stationary shots in one of my travel vlogs: ruclips.net/video/LRjeTdWsA_k/видео.html Good stuff starts around 3 minutes in. As for digitally zooming in using drone footage, do you mean a gradual zoom in from a wide angle shot, or a zoomed in side-to-side shot?
Ahhh gotcha, yeah! The first time I recall seeing that effect personally and recognizing it was in Lord of the Rings, haha ruclips.net/video/RV9aC9w6430/видео.html I'll definitely mess with that effect a bit for sure, thanks for the suggestion!
Doing 4K just for money reasons, everything else it's enough in FullHD. Maybe for some Vfx 4K is a good choice, and if you shoot in 1080p with 4:2:2 you get still a crispy sharp image.
Hey Ed. If 4K videos are too much for a computer to handle, wouldn't it help if the file was changed to 1080? Can the video file be reduced to 2.7 or 1080 to allow smoother video and smaller files? Thanks for this video. It answered the questions I had about whether it was the video quality, my computer, or my TV...
I think most people view RUclips on laptop, pc or smartphone. I don't think anyone would ever know that you shot 1080p or 4k. I shoot a lot of video and edit on my laptop. It would take a big investment to edit in 4k, even though cameras are capable.
I shoot 2.7k with my mavic, mainly because my other camera is my phone and it shoots crappy 1080 video. Also editing 4k takes longer on my 3-yr-old iMac
It’s rather interesting and still something of a confusion for me. I just bought an iPhone 8+ and it shoots in 4K. I just uploaded a drum cover in 1080p shot by my action cam, and then another by my phone in 4K. I can certainly see a difference, but yea it’s rough for my laptop to handle streaming 4K without stuttering. Lol.
Thank you very much for the video ! I enjoyed the information very much :). I have a question concerning 4k cropping: how much can you crop on the footage without loosing a 4k resolution or a 4k video output? Thank you
Always go 4K if possible and don’t look back. Years ago when it was a battle of 720 vs 1080, I regret not shooting at 1080. Later you will regret it too.
Ed, one problem I have with shooting 4K with my Mavic 2 pro is that if I try to export in 1080P my framing of my subject is ruined because the 1080P appears zoomed/cropped. This leads me to believe that you have to know ahead of time which resolution your client is going to use. Because once I shoot in 4K I am on able to export and 1080 P or 2K because both will appear zoomed in and cropped and the subject such as a point of interest video on a home will not be correctly framed. Is there a way around this? Thank you
I use 1080, only because even on my 43” tv there’s barely a difference. And most people watch on mobile or laptop and once to shrink it down it all looks the same.
So can I shoot in 4K and then Export in 1080p? or Shoot in 4K with some shots in 1080p and Export in 4K? I want to make a short film, but I see Pro's and Con's for 4K. It looks great but I'm trying to work out what would be better to shoot with. Any suggestions?
When i edit 4k FCPX i choose the proxy option it creates HD version of my footages then when i am done i change it into the original 4k footage. So it works well!
I immediately pressed 'like' just because it's a good question, relevant to me as a non 4K camera owner. My quick capsule answer would be though that films/clips that are of their time can have a great deal of charm, and are made to the level/strengths/weaknessesof their medium. Laurel and Hardy lose nothing, by not being in 4K.
@@EdRickerVlogs neither is 4K. And..... How many people can watch 4K and edit 4K..... Having said that I do get it, like any photography every situation has its ideal. The Mavic Mini is limited COMPARED to other drones, but compared to my DSLR it fly's better and takes 12mp photos higher than my DSLR!! Oh.....I tried to get my phantom 3 advanced into my pocket....struggled a bit!!
I think 4K is just too much of a gimmick. The manufacturers are just trying to see how many pixels you can push onto the consumer. I think that things like sensor size, lens quality, and color profiles are much more important in terms of creating a great image. People just latch onto whatever is the latest fad regardless of if it is at all practical or necessary. I do some work as a videographer and see people requesting 4K for things that will live on the web and be viewed primarily on people's cell phones and laptops....
Hi Ed. I have a friend who comes with me when I fly but he doesn't have a QuadCopter or a 4K TV so I would like to shoot some video in 2.7 Will his 1080P TV be able to handle the 2.7 recordings from my Phantom 4 Pro or my Mavic Pro? Thanks so much if you can help.
Hello, yes his TV should be able to display that. It might even look clearer than regular HD on his tv! If it does look a little too sharp/grainy, he can always try reducing the sharpness of his footage either in editing or from the DJI Go App itself. That's assuming he wants to tune his camera to work best on a 1080 tv.
Hi David...trying to wrap my mind around how that would go. I think since you've downsized a UHD clip into an HD timeline, you've already reduced the detail at that point...so exporting at 4k will only increase the size of the video. It will not increase the level of detail back to UHD standards. So it may actually help the issue of aliasing, but it's a roundabout way of doing it. Might as well just downsize to 1080 and export at 1080 in that case, or add a very small (like 1 or 2%) blur on a 4k clip exported at 4k to soften it up a hair.

U forgot to put the polling card in your video, at 6:58. But thanks for making the video, I am learning a lot from you.
Airborne Afro it's there, just click on the I. thanks!
1080 seems good to go, I know higher resolutions are the future but the higher resolutions take hell lot of time to edit and render not to forget the storage time and costs.
Shout out to everyone watching this in 720p or less 🤣🤣
I can't load this video in anything past 240p
Why would ANYONE want to watch this guy in HD anything??! It's just a guy talking! I don't need no stinking HD or 4k for this!
I usually watch YT on my phone, not even full screen so I can read/type comments as I watch. So yeah, even less than 720p
360 man. Net sucks here
360 jahahahaha
This was the best informative/explanation I've seen about the video resolution. This is a question of no answer, but pure common sense.
Congrats to you buddy. So easy to like your videos.
I really like how you really got in depth comparing 4K and 1080p ..sadly many people don't understand the two when it comes to detail but HANDS DOWN! nice video .
Excellent informative submission. Now I understand why my old (though powerful) laptop has the stutters when trying to edit 4K.
Great presentation, i love your approach, thank you for this video
I just stumbled on this video and have to says it is the best video on this topic that I watched so far.👏
Both have there place. I think people are used to bad 1080p like what RUclips delivers and also alot of DSLR's. If you ever have used a good cinema camera, the 1080p out of it looks stunning, not far off from 4k at all surprisingly.
I used to shoot everything in 4k with my Panasonic G85 because of the bad 1080p, but since I have had my GH5s I have used the 1080p in a lot of projects because it looks great. Saved me a lot of time for smaller projects as well as I don't need proxies.
One thing I would note, if you are using 1080p is to upscale to 4k when delivering to youtube. As the compression is massive!
Thank you for the great tips on Shooting in 4K or 1080 HD. Definitely will help my future projects !
I love the level of detail you got into in this video
There is also another input to take into account when deciding to shoot 1080 or 4K: the max framerate. Most drones allow only 24-25 or 30 fps, whixh, I believe, results in really jerky footage, unless you are shooting landscape while moving slowly. 50 fps allows you to shoot moving scenes really smoothly. Another hint if you want to reduce jerks is to use and ND filter in order to allow longer exposure (1/50 second)
Sometimes the stuttering is caused by the video codec. Computers have a hard time decompressing the video as you scrub or play it. A good way to test if this is the case would be to convert the video to a lossless compression format and then edit with it. (the hugest downside to this is the size of the video files, but you will usually find they scrub and play really nicely).
Just starting out and have done some trials, so for I like 30fps for panning and 24fps- 30 for general use. Thanks for your video.
Some good points! 2.7k is indeed something to consider.
Learned a lot from this video on saving time and money thanks Ed
What a champion you really are!! Thank you!!
You've raised some interesting points about the whole full HD versus 4K thing. Over here in the UK, our mainstream broadcasters (BBC1, ITV, Channel 4, Ch 5 etc) aren't transmitting in 4K. BBC shoot in either 1080, 2K or 4K for nature and wildlife footage but it will be down scaled for normal broadcast. Also since not everyone has super fast home broadband capable of streaming UHD/4K video let alone owning a 4K tv, then a lot of 4K footage is pretty pointless or it has to be compressed to hell and ultimately looks a bit 'fake' looking. The decision to shoot in 1080p or UHD comes down to the customer and the job requirement. Ultimately when you're making videos for other people, it's far more important in the real world to have smooth streaming quality HD than an over-processed lower frame rate or stuttering 4K video any day. I have no doubt that 4K will become mainstream but not just yet.

I'm watching this in 144p. Lol. Brings back memories of the old dial-up internet. Haha.
I always shoot at the highest res & frame rate each camera can support. Sometimes this is 4k, but not if I want a higher frame rate for example.

Even if you render to 1080 it's still great to record in 4K because of the editing options you have after.
shooting in 4k as hobby is kinda pointless i think. takes up so much room. and need a decent pc to edit it. and takes days to upload on youtube.
No. yes, not really, and only if you have shit internet.
4K is important to me to preserve more detail. the room is fine I just throw away useless clips. if you use proxies it's very easy to edit. and I only get max 3Mbps upload and 4K uploads don't take too long.
And here I thought 16 Gigs of RAM on my HP laptop was enough? Heck, it didn't come with Bluetooth or HDMI out...Need another credit card...oh my...
Some of y’all need to get y’alls eyes checked, the 4K TVs at the stores look way the hell better than the flat screen I’ve got at home!
Great video. really enjoyed! You have summed it all up. I am finding 4k difficult to manage even with the Ninja V ProRes codec. Big file sizes, slow to upload etc. My iMac is around 5+ years old and struggles. I think I like the idea of 2.7k.

I have the p3 standard that shoots 2.7k res. That is slightly higher than apple's regular iPads and the iPad minis. Not the iPad pro 12.9" Though.

Very helpful video. Thanks a million.
Thank you very much Ed, this video has helped me deciding , thanks again. love from Pakistan
Can you give me the link to the camera you used for this video, please?
agree with you my friend
Wow, more great content. Very well explained with high production value! Btw: 2.7K rendered to 1080 for me.
I was even satisfied with those big fat television watching Scoobydoo or Swatcats back in 90's ....its all with the advertisement and the desire which is killing us all ...
Hey Ed, would like to see you try a simulated dolly zoom (with drone footage), which you could do by cropping 4k down to 1080. Make use of sudden 'jumps' in position would look good too.

Hey thanks for watching! I actually do some of those types of zooms/pans with stationary shots in one of my travel vlogs: ruclips.net/video/LRjeTdWsA_k/видео.html
Good stuff starts around 3 minutes in.
As for digitally zooming in using drone footage, do you mean a gradual zoom in from a wide angle shot, or a zoomed in side-to-side shot?
Ahhh gotcha, yeah! The first time I recall seeing that effect personally and recognizing it was in Lord of the Rings, haha

I'll definitely mess with that effect a bit for sure, thanks for the suggestion!
Doing 4K just for money reasons, everything else it's enough in FullHD. Maybe for some Vfx 4K is a good choice, and if you shoot in 1080p with 4:2:2 you get still a crispy sharp image.
thanks for the info sir..keep it up
Also prefer 2k... 4k gives me huge stuttering and actually thought my Mavic was broken, so thnx for informing me. Like the vids thnx 👍👍👍
Great stuff man. Thank you
Hey Ed. If 4K videos are too much for a computer to handle, wouldn't it help if the file was changed to 1080? Can the video file be reduced to 2.7 or 1080 to allow smoother video and smaller files?
Thanks for this video. It answered the questions I had about whether it was the video quality, my computer, or my TV...
I think most people view RUclips on laptop, pc or smartphone. I don't think anyone would ever know that you shot 1080p or 4k.
I shoot a lot of video and edit on my laptop. It would take a big investment to edit in 4k, even though cameras are capable.

I shoot 2.7k with my mavic, mainly because my other camera is my phone and it shoots crappy 1080 video. Also editing 4k takes longer on my 3-yr-old iMac
You answered all my questions!! Thanks!!
I would add that most internal imagine stabilizers don't work in 4K, nor does high fps. Both you can enjoy in 1080P..
It’s rather interesting and still something of a confusion for me. I just bought an iPhone 8+ and it shoots in 4K. I just uploaded a drum cover in 1080p shot by my action cam, and then another by my phone in 4K. I can certainly see a difference, but yea it’s rough for my laptop to handle streaming 4K without stuttering. Lol.
Thank you very much for the video ! I enjoyed the information very much :). I have a question concerning 4k cropping: how much can you crop on the footage without loosing a 4k resolution or a 4k video output? Thank you

Thanks man, very very useful!!!
Playing on my LG V20 4K phone! Thanks peace out!
Always go 4K if possible and don’t look back. Years ago when it was a battle of 720 vs 1080, I regret not shooting at 1080. Later you will regret it too.
It's now £70-80 for a 4tb WD external HD.
Great video, dude!
Great vid bro! Im having drama deciding also. Thanks
Good tip!! Thanks!
I switch from 1080 at 60fps to UHD 4K at 60fps ! it's just magic :D
Great explanation
This video appeared in recommended videos but this guy should be in Hollywood not on YT because he has a cinematic face.
Ed, one problem I have with shooting 4K with my Mavic 2 pro is that if I try to export in 1080P my framing of my subject is ruined because the 1080P appears zoomed/cropped. This leads me to believe that you have to know ahead of time which resolution your client is going to use. Because once I shoot in 4K I am on able to export and 1080 P or 2K because both will appear zoomed in and cropped and the subject such as a point of interest video on a home will not be correctly framed. Is there a way around this? Thank you
Wonderful video think of a shipping
I use 1080, only because even on my 43” tv there’s barely a difference. And most people watch on mobile or laptop and once to shrink it down it all looks the same.
Great video...
So can I shoot in 4K and then Export in 1080p? or Shoot in 4K with some shots in 1080p and Export in 4K? I want to make a short film, but I see Pro's and Con's for 4K. It looks great but I'm trying to work out what would be better to shoot with. Any suggestions?
When i edit 4k FCPX i choose the proxy option it creates HD version of my footages then when i am done i change it into the original 4k footage. So it works well!
Thanks Ed. Very good video. Well covered. Informative. You get a new sub.
Great info... Thanks.
Thank you for clear explanation!
Good discussion
I immediately pressed 'like' just because it's a good question, relevant to me as a non 4K camera owner. My quick capsule answer would be though that films/clips that are of their time can have a great deal of charm, and are made to the level/strengths/weaknessesof their medium. Laurel and Hardy lose nothing, by not being in 4K.
1080p but you forgot fps....1080p 60fps!! Smooth as silk...your thoughts?
Smooth yes, but 60fps isn't best in every situation either.
@@EdRickerVlogs neither is 4K. And..... How many people can watch 4K and edit 4K..... Having said that I do get it, like any photography every situation has its ideal. The Mavic Mini is limited COMPARED to other drones, but compared to my DSLR it fly's better and takes 12mp photos higher than my DSLR!! Oh.....I tried to get my phantom 3 advanced into my pocket....struggled a bit!!
Great explanation, thanks man!
Filming in 4K with my phone so the digital zoom doesn't degrade the image when played back on a 1080 screen.
What program do you suggest to use to edit the videos and photos as well??
I forgot to mention that my problem comes when exporting from da Vinci resolve 16 export after post processing the 4K original footage.
I think 4K is just too much of a gimmick. The manufacturers are just trying to see how many pixels you can push onto the consumer. I think that things like sensor size, lens quality, and color profiles are much more important in terms of creating a great image. People just latch onto whatever is the latest fad regardless of if it is at all practical or necessary. I do some work as a videographer and see people requesting 4K for things that will live on the web and be viewed primarily on people's cell phones and laptops....
How is it 4 times the size of HD when it's only twice the resolution?
Twice the resolution is twice vertical and twice horizontal, hence 4x the pixels.

拍得很好，继续加油
watching this video in 4k heats up my computer!!!!
Yeah 2.7 the way to go !!!
You actually got it slightly wrong, HD means 720p, FHD is 1080p
Thanks for the video
720p is as much as I will do for upload to youtube. I can do 4k but wont !
Hi Ed. I have a friend who comes with me when I fly but he doesn't have a QuadCopter or a 4K TV so I would like to shoot some video in 2.7 Will his 1080P TV be able to handle the 2.7 recordings from my Phantom 4 Pro or my Mavic Pro? Thanks so much if you can help.
Hello, yes his TV should be able to display that. It might even look clearer than regular HD on his tv! If it does look a little too sharp/grainy, he can always try reducing the sharpness of his footage either in editing or from the DJI Go App itself. That's assuming he wants to tune his camera to work best on a 1080 tv.
What if you edit on a 1080p timeline and then export as 4k? Is this possible? Will you still have the same aliasing problems by doing this?
Hi David...trying to wrap my mind around how that would go. I think since you've downsized a UHD clip into an HD timeline, you've already reduced the detail at that point...so exporting at 4k will only increase the size of the video. It will not increase the level of detail back to UHD standards. So it may actually help the issue of aliasing, but it's a roundabout way of doing it. Might as well just downsize to 1080 and export at 1080 in that case, or add a very small (like 1 or 2%) blur on a 4k clip exported at 4k to soften it up a hair.
