  • Cutting 5D footage Native in Premiere

    Posted by Harrison Gruber on April 18, 2014 at 5:06 pm

    Hi, In order to save time delivering a project I’ve decided I may want to forego the transcoding process on all the footage and edit in h264 native.

    I’m using premiere CS 5 and all the video is of course H264.

    I read that there is some quality loss with this workflow–is that true and if so what can I do at the end to get the quality back?

    Native means native: full quality.

    What you’ll get is re-compression in h.264 on any dissolves, title work. color correction. Sometimes it’s better to transcode to ProRes or other format that is not 8bit so your work is in the 10bit world. It won’t make the footage better, but you’ll get less artifacting in the transitions and color correction.
