  Adobe Premiere Pro PREVIEW FIOE FORMAT AND CODEC

  Posted by Manav Bhathal on July 24, 2016 at 10:22 pm

  Does anyone know whats the fastest file format and codec to use with dslr footage from say a t2i when it comes to play back in premiere?

  I run a 64 bit i7 920@ 2.67ghz
  With 10 gb of ram.
  Ive just been having a lot of laggy playback even after rendering.

  Thanks!

  What are you playing back the footage from? Hard drive? USB 2.0 or 3.0? 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM? Multiple drives in RAID? USB thumb drive?

  Hey there, im playing the video off a my passport 1 tb hard drive, usb 3.0 I believe.

  Could you refer me to a guide on the best way to set up scratch disks and hardrives to edit?

  Because ive been meaning to look into that too and refresh my memory on how the program links media and such.

  As far as the codec and file format for previews, i would love to hear the best reccomendations and or how they function.

  The file format options are;
  Microsoft avi

  And a bunch of p2 ranging from 1080p dvcpronhd to dvcpro50 pal

  Codec options range from:
  Intel iyuv
  Lagarith lossless
  Microsoft rle
  Microsoft video 1
  Uncompressed uyvy
  And v210 10bit.

  Current settings are microsoft avi with intel iyuv
  And its been pretty good for playback considering i havent rendered timeline yet.

  I havent rendered because ive seen warp stabalizer clips being top black bottom vissible as soon as i start rendering.

  Thanks for getting back to me!

  Regards,
  MB.

  There is really nothing to do under Premiere. You can make it keep all the generated files (like the audio conforming) with the project, but I found that makes for a messy project folder. Plus, all your renders and autosaves are automatically put in your main project folder, and that’s the bigger stuff.

  The codec options you list are quite limited. What version of Premiere are you on?

  Why do you need rendering.
  Sequence does not match source?
  No MPE?
