The way I edit 4k is in AE, and while that is rendering out I go to premiere and start editing my HD footage. So time wise I really don't lose any.
With my fs700 RAW clips they take about 1 min to render per second of video. With noise reduction its about 1.5 slower, so a 20 sec clip gives me 30min to do something else :-). It's time consuming, space consuming, but it's tons of fun!

Oh, the reason I came in here :-), I am very interested in this little camera. I have a wedding shoot coming up and it would be nice to use this as a 4k on the bride and groom 'wide' and then punch in for some close ups on the faces. I think this would be much easier to operate with auto focus than the gh4.. and especially if I have someone else come along to operate it.

Gotta run now, but Scott send me your email so I can send you some still frame grabs of punch in action so you can see what you are dealing with realistically. Full wide to CU is not so great. UHD to pixel HD is not so great. UHD to just over 2K is fine for HD, probably tighter OK if you are rendering for output to DVD.

Really useful thread, many thanks to Gene and Don. Waiting from my provider here in the UK for when this puppy will be available here.

WOW Scott, what kind of computer system are you running. A 30 second render UHD with Neat noise reduction (if needed) only takes less than 5 minutes using Premiere Pro CS6.

That's a lot of render time you have there Scott. I'm going to have to upgrade in order to work with 4K, but it's good to hear CS6 does the job. Does any of you use their Creative Cloud?
Thanks for all the valuable information by the way guys, it's really helpful and gives the confirmation I needed to actually buy this thing. Ordering it when my favorite camera store has it back in stock, it's popular here too, apparently.

You aren't doing 4k RAW either :-P.
The footage from the z100 edited almost just like AVCHD, slightly slower render, but I could play it real time with no issues. The 4k RAW is a little more intense.

Regarding using PremierePro CS6 - I don't think you can export 4K, you can only ingest. PremierePro CC lets you export, which is why I succumbed to Adobe and just subscribed to CC (Premiere only) (reduced price for year subscription if you buy via Amazon). Although, it seems RekindlePhoto has been able to export 4K from CS6? yes?
I have a 3 year-old MacPro that is working with 4k, though not enough to edit anything other than tweaking clips and exporting (it loses renders, and the dreaded Media Pending appears a lot). I'm told you need heavy duty processors, etc. My newish MacbookPro Retina seems to work fine, though I've only done a few tests so far.

CS 6 has no problem working with 4K. Been doing it with the Z-100 and AX-100 with no problems. You just have to set the pixel size manually since there is no preset for 4K.
