Transcoding for Premiere

[Neil Gowan]

Thanks to all for the input.

Here’s my specific situation: working on a 4K doc shot on BlackMagic so all A Cam media is in ProRes. We have a couple B Cams – a DJI Inspire (giving me an AVC encode) and a Lumix GH4 (giving me h.264). Would you all expect those B Cam clips to perform at the same speed and agility as the ProRes? Would you transcode the B Cam clips to ProRes for better performance? Are my expectations too high for Premiere to handle these B Cam clips as well as ProRes?
