Hello, i own PD16 but i don't use it anymore despite the incredibly fast rendering engine. I wonder if in PD17 you can finally export in 2K (2560x1440) resolution mp4 ? Thanks !

Hi Cartof -

There are often difficulties with how video resolutions/profiles are named or referred to. e.g. there'll be people reading this who will dispute the following:


  • 2560x1440 is more like 2.5K, but is usually referred to as 1440p.

  • "2K" is 2048px wide (in PDR it's 2048x1080 & available as a standard profile)



No version of PDR, to my knowledge, has had a standard 2560x1440 profile available for production. Users have needed to create their own profile. It's discussed in this thread. It wouldn't matter which version you're using, the process is basically the same.

Cheers - Tony

Just curious, why do you need 2560x1440 output resolution?
As I know, there is no camcorder/camera can record with that at least in consumer level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, i am editing game footage recorded in the native resolution of my monitor.

I am not interested in "hacks" of the PD configuration files. I am only asking the owners of the PD17 if it is possible to make a 2560x1440 profile via custom produce tab.

Thanks !

I guess.. i will have to hack the profile config file.. Any drawbacks or quirks there? Anything i should be careful on? I am using a Windows 10 Pro machine with PD16 and maybe soon PD17.

Thanks !
