We work with raw camera footage mostly red dragon shot at 5K.
Editorial is done on nMP trashcans and loaded cheesegraters, our resolve system is a supermicro CentOS box w/ a K4000 and two Titan Black GPUs.
We do lots of work with 4k< footage in a 2.61:1 aspect (~2808x1080) sequence from premiere pro cc2015.
With the given format within premiere pro it's most efficient for editors to opt to "scale to frame size" using pPro's mercury playback engine which essentially live transcodes (as best as your GPUs allow) and treats the 4k however your sequence format is set up.
Many times editors will need to do "punch-ins" on shots with 4k< footage, in which case the best option seems to be to make cuts around what you want "punched in", deselect "Scale to frame size" and simply use the scale effect in the effects tab of premier to scale out to the desired composition.
All great in premiere, but when an XML is exported from premiere and brought into resolve, the AE gets stuck needing to manually scale the shots appropriately as when importing the XML from premiere into resolve, there does not seem to be a solid option for handling premiere pro's "Scale to frame size" math to scale and place the footage in the frame within resolve as it appears in premiere.
How are folks handling this? Is there a better way?
