Best format for editing DSLR in CS5
Hi,
I know that premiere pro CS5 can edit my 5D mk2 footage natively but it is so slow.
In what format can I convert it so cs5 will be able to edit it fast. something like apple prores for final cut.thanks!

Cineform might be worth looking into…

any free alternative? i think cineform is not.
thanks btw! -
I thought CS5 was supposed to work with DSLR files natively and in real time – according to the video demos on Adobe’s website anyway – LOL.
On the PC we are limited to native or Cineform, or transcoding in real time via a capture card. If Adobe was clever, they would have integrated Prores into CS5.

Im sorry you feel that way Mike, but Pro Res is owned by Apple. And they decide whether or not anything outside of Apple products can use the compressor end of the codec. They have allowed users to the decompressor, but not the code so everyone has to reverse engineer it, which is extremely hard.
If you are having trouble with your system being able to playback DSLR footage the way you want it to, then upgrade your system or live with editing in a lower playback quality. Adobe have recommended system requirements so users know that they need a particular spec’d system to get particular results.
I can understand you aren’t getting the results you may have been excited about or felt would solve a problem, but your remarks about Adobe not living up to their end of things by not incorporating ProRes is misguided and naive of the processes behind these ‘deals’ taking place.
You haven’t posted your specs yet or whether you have tried to use the lower res playback settings. DSLR is HD and H.264 is power consuming, but the Adobe path requires less than any other system so far needs in order to play with it natively.
