Mixed formats and hanging macbook
Hi
Thanks for looking…CS5
2009 Macbook pro
10.6.8
2.66GHz core 2 duoI have around 6hrs of footage to cut down to an hour and a half. It’s mpeg and mov from a canon 60D and XHA1.
I think where I went wrong was synching all the footage on a timeline and doing some zooming and rotating to correct shots and a bit of colour correction as I went along editing. So the project ballooned in size and began hanging and crashing premiere pro. I’ve now split it up into two projects and 6 sequences and it is opening and running fine again.
So, I was thinking I would export each sequence and then put them all back together on one timeline for a final export for encore and internet.
Is this a good plan, if so, would I be losing quality to export as H.264 and then import back in to the final project. I think if I export massive mov files this macbook won’t handle it or will take forever?Excuse the ignorance please, any hel would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your system is aging and this project could be taxing it’s resources.
You do NOT want to got to .h264 for the cross hop. This is more of a delivery codec, sometimes acquisition.
Can you import just that one sequence into the other project? I don’t recall if that works with CS5.

Hi
Thanks very much for your reply.
I can just copy all the separate sequences into one sequence at the end I think, yeah.
But I thought that might just put me back to having a huge project problem again and it jamming up.
Good to know about the H.264 though thanks. I definitely won’t do that. I’ll carry on with the edit and then copy to one sequence once it’s all done.Thank you
