FS7: Anyone knows FootageStudio 4K for prores on windows?

[Publimix]

Because it works faster and smoother in 4K, I want to go from xavc-i to Prores or dnxhq (X) for davinci resolve on a windows computer. My options are:

- Get a Mac, had one did that been there. Nice option, looks good but expensive.
- Build a Hackintosh, easier said than done, we are stuck in the process at the moment. Dear son gave up for now and went back to his gaming computer.
- Use Resolve to transcode to dnxhq (10 bit), a bit slow I think.
- Buy software: footage studio 4K (can't find many reviews).

So question is I want to try it, but before that I would like opinions from people who use this software. (Alternative is drag son from behind his gaming PC and force him to tweak the pc into a Hackingtosh.)


Thanks

Tried the trial version xavc to Prores 4K but not only dnxhd hd, no dnxhq.

you can just download the dnxhd and dnxhr codecs for free from Avid and that should work with lots of encoders.

Thanks Ben,
downloaded it. It works now for adobe media encoder, (not sure if it did before because I stopped using it after I canceled my subscription) but unfortunately it doesn't work in catalyst prepare and footage studio 4K as far as I could see. It seems logical to me that Sony would ad dnxhq in catalyst prepare.
