As MXF is a container file….
the real question be about how the media is compressed.
UHD…
I’ll guess some flavor of H264.
Not easy for the computer to decode that many pixels on the fly….which is what you are asking it to do.
and while I7 is a good CPU spec…. 8gb ram is a lil light these days…though not much you can do about that in a laptop I suspect
Trying looking into the Proxy functions of PPro and setting up something that is frame based compression (cineform go pro, Avid DNXHD) at your deliverable resolution….
I’ll bet you get a better result.
You can just try a couple of clips and see if you can get something that works before committing the entire set.
Remember that Premiere as a software is capable of native format editing….so it will try to show your media….doesn’t mean you hardware will cooperate.

I think the answer depends on a couple of things…
are the proxies only a temporary step in the workflow, or are they just a step down because the full resolution is to difficult to play….or take of too much space to keep local online all the time… in other words…will you be switching back to source for final output?
additionally…
what has happened to the color space in the proxy conversion?
as Duke was indicating…
if your proxy is visually different in color than the source….then grading would be pretty useless…I’m sure Lumetri is not yet smart enough to adjust itself dynamically and understand your intent when changing between the proxy color space and source color space….
You can make a lot of editorial decisions with low visual quality proxies….but I assume grading probably ought to be handled when you are at least seeing common source color.
that’s my long winded response. ?
cheers…

Here is a guess….
because it is possible to have multiple files from multiple locations with the same name residing within a project…
“from file” likely identifies the file not only by name, but the full path…
you changed the path….so Premiere thinks “new file…”
I don’t know if this will help….but you can try:
in your preferences try enabling media> “write xmp id to files on import”
when you did this Premiere will tag the file headers with an XMP id. invisible to you…
but it let’s premiere know you’ve imported the file before.
you’ll probably have to try it as a workflow on a clean project…and test to see if it resloves the issue…
that’s my thoughts anyway…

based on the pic…
V1 is your background fill?
if so, it’s matte (alpha) would be 100% white full frame…
so that means the area around the logo shape would be filled with black….as depicted?
if your intent is to blend the video and logo….and key the logo…
and the logo already has an alpha (based on the logo shape)…..why is the set matte necessary?
i’m sure there is something I’m missing…
this is hard one to answer without putting hands on it…
you can send me stuff at: audell999 at ya who dot com
i’ll see if I can solve…
thanks!

Hi…
if your logo has an alpha channel…
then you you use set matte…
it’s that essentially replacing the alpha channel?

I don’t think it’s that complicated….
if you have that gfx card ability….
you could make your desktop that resolution…
then play the video full screen.
am I under thinking this?

Hey Julian….
first….
you’re going to want to translate the template into AE.
Depending on the complexity of what your template consists of…this shouldn’t be to bad…
Once you have it in AE and it’s looking good….
you have a couple of choices:
comps from spreadsheet: https://aescripts.com/compsfromspreadsheet/
OR
Templater: https://aescripts.com/templater/
Templater comes in several levels and can get VERY sophisticated.
But you definitely want to get the project to After Effects.
This is KEY to do what you want…

Here’s something that might be useful…..
it’s a bit of a hack…but maybe you can use it to speed up your work….
1) in your project panel create a new item > transparent video
2) in your sequence, add an additional video track….
3) place the transparent video in the newly created video track….and adjust it to the length of your sequence
4) lock all your video and audio tracks except the one containing the transparent video
(a quick way to do this is shift and click the lock icons to lock them all, then just unlock the transparent track)now for the fun….
5) as you are playing or shuttling thru your sequence….you can use the “ADD EDIT” command via keyboard to split the transparent video as your sequence is playing. if you are using the default PPro shortcuts on windows I think it’s ctrl+k
so play back and add edit points to this track….
6) now unlock all your tracks again
7) now notice (if the track patch is enabled in the sequence…that the track label to the right of the lock icon) that you can use the UP – DOWN arrows to navigate between edit points quickly…..i’d patch enable ONLY the track containing the transparent video….so any edits on the track below don’t get confused in the navigating…
AND
you can use X key to mark the duration of (Mark IN-OUT) of any transparent segment you are parked on.
8) now you can just extract edit ( the ‘ key) or Ripple delete (Shift + Del) to remove sections you don’t want.
I think it would be a bit faster way to work….but that’s my opinion…
also….
PRACTICE THIS on duplicate sequence to get use to the workflow….so if you don’t like it….you don’t lose any of your work up to the point you tried it….
🙂
hope that helps out some….
