What format to in (PC)
Hi,
I’m working on premiere pro and i mostly have h264 video footage which are as you know quite slow to work with, especially on my 5years old computer.
I was wondering if i could transcode them to ProRes (but i dont have a mac).
Animation requires too much diskspace and i unfortunatly cant afford it.
Or is there any other codec that might do the work?I hope you guys have a solution 🙂
Thanks for reading, cheers. -

You might consider the Cineform codec, but with a 5-yr-old PC, any HD editing will be a struggle regardless of codec.

Aight i’ll try that thank you,
I know it will be slow, but anything faster than h264 suits me 🙂
Altho, is it possible to encode my rush into ProRes on a PC? (I really like it hehe) -
I should mention that regardless of what codec you choose to edit with, you still have to CONVERT the H.264 clips into that format, which on a slower computer can take some time as well.
While Premiere on a PC can EDIT ProRes clips, you can’t encode to ProRes. I’ve used the Atomos Ninja recorder to go straight from HD camera to ProRes, then edited those files in Premiere and that works well.

Sadly, i just checked, and i dont have Cineform on Media Encoder list.
What can i do to add it? -
Avid has the DNxHD codec which is free to download and works with Premiere, just use it as a quicktime file.
Several bit rate options too.
