I am using Premiere CS6 and i have a ton of 4K footage that i would like to downscale to 1080p. The problem is that there is no way to change sequence settings in CS6. But even if there were i heard that downscaling is very complicated and results in artifacting.
With that being said, is there a standalone program i can use to downscale footage? I can't take the horrendous artifacting (boxy looking) that i get when i render 4K to 1080 in Premiere. It makes the footage unusable.
Also, do you recommend another NLE. I just asked this in another post in the Newbie section. I was wondering if i would get better results in Lightworks or DaVinci Resolve. What are the pros using as their NLE. I'm a VFX/3D artist and my forte is nodal animation programs and After Effects. The final editing is an entirely different animal.
BTW, i really appreciate your time in helping me with this. I joined this forum with this question in mind. I am hoping to get some good recommendations on a better NLE.
