My thoughts, too.

Thanks!

But regardless of format you record too, if you are shooting 4k I would suggest processing to DNx, editing, and then going back to the camera masters for VFX and DI.

Mini records in a bunch of flavors of ProRes, as well. Depending on the nature of the show, there is an argument to be made that there is little to gain by shooting ArriRAW and to go ahead and do ProRes 4444. I've personally cut several features shot with the Mini using both ArriRAW and ProRes4444 — after proper grading I defy you to tell the difference.

The Alexa Mini may be able to record in other formats.  But we recorded to 4k ArriRAW in MXF.

We processed the 4k camera masters through Resolve to DNxHD36 for editing.

DI in Resolve in 4k.

Very traditional.

May have an opportunity to work on a project

shot on an Arri Mini.

Any body here have experience with those files?

Don't yet know the actual format.  ProRes

or RAW, I think.

What machine specs would you expect,

working with 4K?  May be time to upgrade.

I anticipate using proxies, I guess I am thinking

more about the final renders.

Thx!
