Hello, I'm looking for a solution (a software), I purchased a GoPro 7 Black, and I filmed several sequences in 4K and 2.7K, also in 1080 (240fps). Unfortunately, some of these formats are not played on my PC (the 4K and 1080 at 240 FPS). What software is available for that (I use VSDC for video editing). Thank you.

    Hello and welcome as a new member of the software community. There is no shortage of software available to the general public, such as Corel Studio, Magix Deluxe, Sony Vegas, around €100 for the full version.
    But it takes some time to master them, and once you choose one, you tend to stick with it out of habit.
    I know of VSDC by name; I sometimes recommend it on the forum for its free version, but I don't know if it handles UHD clip editing.
    Currently, the popular software is "Da Vinci Resolve," and there are tutorials on YouTube.
    Personally, I've always been attached (rather tied) to Corel Studio version 20 for the reason mentioned above.
    It manages 4K, as they say.
    Above all, if you could give me your computer's configuration, because you need a powerful computer to handle these formats.

      In terms of my setup, I have a laptop with 8GB of RAM, an AMD A6, and I believe an NVIDIA GT 720. At my workplace, I have a desktop with an i7 8550U, an NVIDIA Quadro K600, and 16GB of RAM, with a Full HD screen.

      Since I've acquired a GoPro 7, I want to be able to make the most of it with my current equipment.

    Hello, so for your laptop, I don't have enough details, but I think it shouldn't exceed 2 GHz in frequency, that's insufficient. And the hard drive?
    It's agreed in the amateur video editing community to aim for new gear with an i5 or even i7 processor with a frequency of at least 3 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, and an SSD, which is essential nowadays, of 500 GB or even 1 TB for software and video editing, plus a large HDD for storage. The processor's graphics card can suffice if you're not gaming.
    Keep in mind that the weight of the data multiplies by 4 for a 4K stream.
    At 1080p 25fps, I create finished files of 1 GB every 5 minutes.
    PS: For 4K, the fps is 60.
    The same goes for the desktop.
    A laptop is not optimal for doing 4K editing.
    Its processor, with 4 cores at a base frequency of 1.8 GHz under load, in the U series (laptops), won't be able to maintain turbo mode under full load as long as a desktop with a good cooling system.
    Your good graphics card could assist the chosen software if compatible with "CUDA" for rendering calculations.
    My advice is to film and test first in HD 1080 to get an idea.

      While researching yesterday, I heard about proxy editing. From what I understand, we would be working with linked copies but in a size that allows working on small setups with Adobe Premiere apparently.

      It's exactly this video that I saw! Is it applicable with VSDC, does it handle 4K once the latest updates are applied? Only my laptop can't play 4K videos, if I connect it to a 4K TV or a 4K monitor, can I manage to play the videos, or does the graphics card also need to be 4K compatible?

    Hello, I wonder if VSDC supports ProRes 422 conversion like Adobe Premiere Pro does.
    I’m not sure if it handles the ProRes codec during editing.
    I have Corel Studio 22 and it doesn't offer ProRes.
    It's the processor that is most taxed to render a 4K clip; now a 1080 screen can display the clip but in 1080 and with drops.
    You need a 4K screen and the right graphics card; we are going in circles.
