Your stoke reached such levels it required a separate thread?

Ha, pretty much.

Yeah, the file sizes are huge.
1 minute 4K - 5GB / 1 hour - 300GB
1 minute 1080p - 1.5GB / 1 hour - 90GB

Since I use this for work, most of my clients will purchase hard drives for the work. If they want to "upgrade" to 4K then they spend more for hard drives and pay me for labor.

Got enough UV filters on the end of that lens?

They aren't UV filters. They are 5 step up/step down rings. Since the Zeiss ZF 50mm f/1.4 is such a short lens, its hard to work with a matte box. So I've added the rings to extend the lens. Theres no vignetting and I can still use filters on top of it. All of my lenses have step up rings to 77mm so all of my filters work.

Im legitimately wondering how you edit such huge files? You just lower the quality edit them then replace them with the real quality clips? Or am I totally missing something.

Using a newer MacBook Pro. In CS6 Premiere, if it starts to get laggy at all, I can control the playback quality down to 1/2 or 1/4. Flawless editing.

File size doesn't necessarily mean it needs more computing power to eeit.
