Thanks Jon for the informative response. The source file is h.264 .mp4 and the delivery in most cases would be in h.264 .mp4 to be uploaded ot the internet. So I figured if h.264 edits fine in Premiere Pro (which it does not in Final Cut 7, not sure about X) than there would be no need to convert it again to DNxHD as that takes up space and then convert it to h.264 for delivery. But, I read that there were some audio issues with h.264 files at times. Though, I will take your word for it if you use h.264 as the source. Thanks again!

Thanks Dave and Jeff. That was just what I was looking for. I look forward to using Premiere since I heard it’s very similar to FCP 7 and already have some experience with After Effects. Thanks again for the recommendations!

Thanks Chris. I’m still not quite sure based on your reply. But, I gather that either is fine and that I won’t be able to tell the difference? This would be my pipeline:

premiere pro cc on pc —> h.264 .mp4 48 khz video file —> chopped down —> ?exported to best fitted codec to have near lossless quality to be archived and worked on at a later time to save space on my machine? —> worked on —> exported to h.264 .mp4 48 khz video file —> uploaded to youtube, vimeo, etc.

That is the most specific I can get with my needs.
