Editing with RED footage
I was under the impression that I could edit RED footage natively in Premiere but the playback is choppy even at 1/16 resolution. The footage is coming from a Lacie Rugged drive with a Thunderbolt connection. Please see my signature for info about my computer set up. My computer is late 2013. What could be preventing me from editing this footage in real time?

Hi Lisa,
Copy a file to a different drive and try it again. Does it playback now?Thanks,

You need faster drives. A single drive is ok for Red proxies, but not for full res files. I’ve got a 4k project with Red and F55 4K footage and it’s hooked up to 12TB thunderbolt 2 drive. It will do 4K multi cam just fine.

Thanks Andy! Can you post a link to the drive you have?

[Andy Edwards] “You need faster drives.”
Not necessarily. RED bitrate isn’t that huge because it’s quite compressed and because it’s compressed you need a lot on CPU/GPU/RED rocket power to decode it.
Does the thread starter have a dual or quad core processor?

Agreed. I latched on to the “rugged drive” thinking it was the bottle neck. A Red Rocket would be a definite bonus for decoding the footage.
