If you shoot HD video, should you upgrade your camera to a 4K-capable model? The obvious reason to make the switch to 4K is to future-proof your work. Show
Where we're going, we don't need 1080p! Consumers may not demand 4K content today, but at some point they will, and if history is any guide this will probably happen soon. Just imagine if you had continued to shoot in standard definition up until the moment that everyone finally had an HD television. Who would want to watch that crunchy, mushy low-resolution content today? As a content creator you're always better off getting ahead of the curve. However, even if you don't need (or want) to create 4K content yet, there are number of huge benefits to adopting a 4K workflow now. There has been a lot of high resolution video recording news lately. 8K is quickly becoming the buzzword of 2019 as we’ve seen the unveiling of the Sharp 8K world’s first prosumer video camera, reports of an upcoming 8K Canon EOS R and news of NVIDIA and RED teaming up to make 8K raw post affordable. And don’t even get us started on 16K and what that could (theoretically) begin to look like on the horizon. However, when you begin sifting through the feedback and comments on a lot of these new high resolution recording updates, most people seem to be of one of two camps.
We’ll chalk up Youtuber Brannigan Carter as being in the latter category. So much so that in this new video essay, he argues that not only is 8K (or 16K) superfluous, but even 4K shooting should be considered unnecessary. Do You Need High Resolution Video?Carter lays out his points as an update to his original take on 4K video resolution which he posted almost four years ago (video below). It’s interesting to see how the discussion is still largely much the same. Whether its 4K, 8K or eventually whatever-K, filmmaking isn’t about the technology but about the craft of the story. Here’s the original video from four years ago... That being said, it is important to keep an eye on the industry and the technology is a big part of it. Whether they understand it or not, clients and audiences follow many of these advances as well and can often clamour for it. However, it's equally important to have enough of an understanding of both sides to be able to make quality films and projects that look good, but without getting too lost in the latest buzz.

It just talks about the basic elements of filmmaking. I understand the tounge-in-cheek nature of the video, but this is clickbait. If you want to know about Resolution and why you don't need 4k or 8k, this has been covered definitively by Steve Yedlin, ASC. http://yedlin.net/ResDemo/ January 14, 2019 at 1:01PM 0 Reply Share Share this answer: Sandro Pehar 99 Yes, thanks for sharing that link. That is someone who actually knows what he is talking about. Ridiculous to see those video's in this article, it's not even good clickbait.

My own two cents: I have not been asked if we're shooting in 4K or whatever for at least two years. Now, I'm sure most of them assume we're shooting in at least 4K, so one's mileage will vary.

Imagine how much better something like the Osmo Pocket would be if it had the same size sensor but only 1080p resolution - you'd have far better low light performance and dynamic range. Or they could have squeezed in DPAF for better focusing.

Does 4K video make a difference?Full HD is just another term for 1080p or 1920x1080, and those are all ways of referring to the same resolution. By contrast, 4K has a resolution of 3840x2160. That's a lot more pixels in the overall image — totaling over 8 million pixels. As always, the higher the resolution, the sharper the picture will be.
Should I record in 1080p or 4K?1080p often requires much less memory storage than 4K. This allows you to record more clips to your memory card and take up less space on your editing hard drives. 4K cameras often require much faster and more expensive memory cards, as well. 1080p video benefits from having smaller file sizes.
