4k video editing?

[Umbra_the_Wolf]

Any free 4k video editing software? I really just need to cut videos for upload to youtube.

Have you tried the Youtube Editor?

Keep in mind that Youtube will only display in 1080p according to multiple sources.

Actually the reason is to make my videos smaller so it doesn't take 4 days to upload a 4k video. YouTube does upload in 4k up to 60fps.

I need to be able to cut my videos down prior to upload but I can't find any basic 4k editors. My upload speed is so bad.

Have you tried handbrake?

I admit, though, that I haven't used in a while and never with 4K. But you might be able use to get to a lower resolution for easier uploading.

I could easily do that with something like Windows Movie Maker, but I want to upload 4K handbrake doesn't support 4K, darn

I downloaded it and tried it but it's all screwed up. This, along with OpenShot both claim 4K support but videos don't play and won't convert properly and I cannot edit at all. I'm using plain AVI format, really generic HD you know. My system is more than ample to edit 4K content, after all I game and screen record in 4K. An example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq3btHU35aY that is my youtube channel.

I wish Windows Movie Maker could simply output in 4K. Why is it so hard to output in 4K? Isn't it the same file format but just more data? I don't understand why no one supports 4K editing fully after all the time that 4K has been out.

I have a
5820 @4GHz
8GB Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1080
16GB Corsair Veng. 3000MHz DDR4 RAM @13-13-13-14
2TB HDD
250GB SSD
Win 10 Pro 64bit

For both programs I installed twice just to be sure. Working with 1080p videos no issues but as soon as I load in a 4K video options are all greyed out and the video won't even play when in the editor, let alone edit it then convert to 4K in any other formats.

All I wanted was to cut videos then convert to WMV or keep as AVI for upload. The videos are colossal, like 20GB for a 5 minute video. It's too much to upload. Was thinking I'd cut out segments of the videos to save size and therefore save upload time.

My daughter is in the film business. I'll ask her for suggestions. My take a little while.

What codec are you using? How are you creating the 4k video, from what source?

Have you considered using vlc to downscale before editing?

if I were OK with less than 4K video I could easily use Windows Movie Maker. I need 4K edit then output 🙁

I'm screen recording 4K gaming (AVI and MP4 formats only) with Bandicam. The codecs I have are all from MPC-HC x64 (basically just Windows Media Player) with K-Lite Codec Pack. It has everything. I play my videos just fine. I convert my videos from 4K to 1080p just fine. I can't find a program that will let me cut/split-up 4K MP4/AVI to 4K any format. Don't care about formats since YouTube takes most common formats, but taking 4K then outputting to 1080p is not worthwhile. I can easily do this already.

no one?

Bumping is not allowed ("no one").

Seems you may need to purchase a product to do what you want to work with the 4k media. Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas are two that come to mind. I say this because you don't seem to want to downscale the 4k to 1080p and then continue using WMM or other apps.

Yes I wanted 4k to be 4k lol it's not rocket science but clearly not free either. Feel free to close this thread.
