let's say we had to buy something really powerful and expensive
Am I correct that you go from raw footage to Prores codec, which is a intermediate codec, to get less bigger files to work with before coding it to end-user codec?

Care to tell what solution you had to buy and what it had cost?

So basically... processing 4K is something really different then HD and probably need investment in hardware? I'm now on a not so special windows computer...but it does process raw HD footage fine... typically 2 GB avchd raw full hd footage...
