However, when it comes to measuring image quality, the differences are
much more significant!
To calculate the image quality, we’ll determine the size of the video frame in
megapixels, by multiplying the width of the frame by the height.
4K Image Quality Comparison
Width Height Megapixels 4K is larger by:
4K UHD 3840 2160 8.3
1080p HD 1920 1080 2.1 4x
720p HD 1280 720 0.9 9x
DVD 720 480 0.3 24x
As you can see, 4K offers incredible improvements in image quality, even
when compared to HD video!
4K Video and ProShow
ProShow does support adding 4K clips to your shows and creating 4K video
output. You’ll find export presets available when publishing to MPEG 4,
Quick Time H.264, YouTube and Vimeo.
However, it’s highly recommended that you think ahead before working
with 4K.
To borrow from a famous comic/movie franchise: “With great data, comes
great responsibility.”
4K video files are big. VERY BIG! 4K video requires a lot of storage space
and is extremely resource intensive. In fact, many people build high
performance PCs just to process and render 4K video.
