Update Today I tried working with JVC ProHD mp4 and still same issues ! Playback still sluggish and rendering and export still lightyears away I am sincierly considering departing from premiere the machine has some juice left and need to squeeze it I can’t afford to buy another machine which from my research no MacBook pro will get the mercury engine running an help appreciated I am totally lost!
Also I am working from a USB 2.0 mini hard drive using a dv 25 Pal Project and resizing the footage because this is a project for an SD 4:3 tv station using footage from JVC GY HM 100
Please suggest fix for premiere or move to FCX or Avid MC
