How does Paul Rogers's video editing workflow for 4K projects outperform other methods?

Hi, I’m Paul Rogers from thatcreativeceo. Love this question.

My “god-tier” 4K workflow is all about keeping things crazy fast and stable, even with heavy footage:

• I organize projects so media, cache, and exports live on separate fast drives – no single drive getting choked
• I use proxies/smart playback settings so the timeline feels like 1080p even when the final export is 4K+
• I batch templates (adjustment layers, presets, sound chains) so I’m not redoing the same tweaks 50 times
• I optimize my monitor/layout so color, timeline, and assets are exactly where my eyes/hands expect them

That combo means fewer crashes, smoother scrubbing, and way faster turnarounds than just “dumping clips into Premiere and praying.”

What are you editing 4K on right now – laptop or desktop, and which software?
