Yeah I know what you are talking about. You have to make sure both are set right.

I transcoded my MTS files, the ones from my DSLR actually play good enough. I transcoded the MTS ones to DNXhd145 and that did the trick. Bigger files but they play smoothly.

Ok thanks. So with Adobe, you would keep your capture scratch on the raid and that would do the trick?

I don’t use a Mac so Raid isn’t an option.

I have AVID as well on my system at home so I have the quicktime codecs already. My project is 720, which DNX codec would you use ? 220
?

Thanks Angelo! Your response to my question is very helpful. I work as an assistant editor on a few TV shows so I am familiar with conforming and upressing since we edit in offline in much lower resolution. I work on AVID on these shows and personal projects I generally use Adobe Premiere Pro since it was the first nonlinear system I learned.

I have never transcoded anything to a Prores format since I don’t use a Mac at home, so I will try the DNxHD which should work fine.

I’ll let you know how it comes out and anymore questions I might have. I see you work in digital workflow services so you know your stuff! The TV shows I work on still use tape! 🙂
