What footage resolution should I buy?

[Chickenbone]

What's the standard procedure you use to determine what footage you buy? I am not performing anytime soon except for house guests. I have a 768p projector that I use for my own entertainment, but should I buy footage for this resolution or should I future proof with 1080 or 4k? I know I can up and down scale based on output resolution. Just looking for some feedback on this thought.

1080p is fine ... You will probably not need 4k any time soon..... Save the money.

The standard procedure for determining what footage to buy is to first consider the resolution of the output device. If you are using a 768p projector, you should buy footage that is at least 768p in resolution or higher, as it can be downscaled to fit the projector's resolution. If you want to future-proof your purchase, then you should buy footage that is at least 1080p or 4k in resolution, as it can be upscaled to fit the projector's resolution.
