shooting in 5.4k ?

[ninja_geezer]

ok so is it worth shooting in 5.4k at this time .lets face it a good tv can do 4k but not 5.4k also is there any editing software that will allow export in 5.4k .
i am guessing the only advantage is if you have to punch in a bit in post and then export at 4k .
i play back my footage on my Sony 4k UHD tv .and this is where i want it to look its best as its for my family to watch mainly.

Agree its just needed for the Crop , as I cannot notice any difference at all on my large screen , I pretty sure it would have to be 8 to 12 k for me to see any difference on a 180 inch

The crop feature is very useful in video, as you can reframe quite a bit as you fly. It is essentially a digital zoom performed in post processing. The additional original resolution gives that much more resolution to work with. With key frames, you can move around in the cropped image for quite dramatic reframes as the drone flies.

I use it anytime I don't need the AI features and don't need higher framerates. I do so for 1 reason, flexibility. It gives me the ability to crop losslessly if I should want to, and Adobe Premiere has a feature called "auto reframe" which allows you to crop while keeping your subject in the frame. I am also going off of the assumption that 5.4k downsampled to 4k produces a better image than 4k natively. I haven't done any pixel-peeping to confirm, but that's pretty typical. I also don't find working with the 5.4k clips to dramatically impact render times, but that is more subjective than based on any testing or comparisons I've done to confirm.
