Should I edit in an low res format and then export EDL?
Hello, the situation is: I got mainly RED 4K footage to edit, then some mark II and other formats. I have all these same footage converted to Apple prores 422. I have Premere pro CS6 in an Imac. I know that using the 1/16 vision in premiere I can see the RED footage and edit
Should I edit in prores and then when I have a rought cut, export an EDL, bring this to a bigger computer, an then import the Red clips and make the final edit ?
Or Should I start working with the RED clips from the beginning with my Imac? like I said I can see them using the 1/16 option
What would be the benefits/disasters or going one way or another? anything that I have to take into consideration if go the EDL way?

Edit proxies and conform via an EDL once the edit is locked.
The primary reason is that 1/6th res is a really rough image that may lead you to misjudge focus issues in footage. The other issue is that you’ll save time overall with both editing, rendering preview files for the producer/director, and other tasks. While Premiere isn’t the most swift at an online/offline workflow, the hassle of relinking is usually outweighed by the responsiveness you gain on slower systems by working with offline files.
