Why no native size BMPCC 6K preset?

PostFri Mar 29, 2024 1:01 am

I'm a bit puzzled that in Davinci Resolve I see no timeline presets for the BMPCC 6K resolutions, which I can never remember exactly, but I think it's 6144xsomething, depending on AR, but I see no 6K presets:

I know that there's no TV set with native 6K res and for the most part the 6K is there so that we can edit 4K UHD and then zoom in a bit without losing quality, but what if I want to edit something in 6K and then export the master in that size to then export to 4K UHD or other sizes as needed?

I know there's a custom size setting, but I'm curious as to why there are no 6K ones, since both camera and software are Blackmagic's.

We just work in 4K and call it a day. There are things I worry about with Resolve, but 6K is not one of them.

The presets are oriented towards actual deliverable dimensions not camera dimensions. If they would incorporate camera resolutions the list would become 5x longer only to serve a very small set of users. You can make a preset for yourself with any setting you require for your needs which is flexible enough.
Home System Resolve 18.6b9: Z790 / i9 13900K / 64GB DDR5 / RTX4090 / Win 11 / ASUS PA32UGC 1600 nits
Office System Resolve 18.6b9: X570 / Ryzen 9 5900X / 128GB DDR4 / RTX4090 / Win 11 / EIZO CG248-K
