5D Footage and Premiere Pro CS4 – Not playing well
So I can get my 5D clips to play fine if I drop them into the timeline directly and render them in PP CS4, but they DO NOT play properly when I put them in the preview window to cut in and out points. This is at “Draft Quality”.
If I can’t figure out a way to make this work in the preview window I guess I’ll have to convert them like many people do, is “Streamclip” any good for doing this? I love working with my Mpeg2 footage that is captured from my XH A1s but will I lose quality doing it this way?
Very low on cash after buying the 5D and all the accessories mind you. Hehe
Thanks!

I have apprehensions even playing back 1080p footage on dual core systems.
When we had originally gotten the 5D I Was working on a dual core system. I suggest editing via proxy files. Transcode your footage to half res files for editing (960×540, mpeg2 or whatever tickles your fancy). Edit with these files, then use “replace footage” to link back to your original high res footage when you’re finished.
You could also use an intermediate editing codec like Avid DNxHD (free at https://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=263545 ) or something like Cineform NeoScene.
