Talking of conversion before editing – some years ago I had a GoPro5. The native footage could not be loaded into Premiere. There was a GoPro application which converted the files into AVI (cineform).

When the converted files were loaded, boy, did it kill Premiere or what?

So whats the best for converting MP4/H264 files to edit-friendly format?
Something free would be handy.

Looks pretty good to me. You may want to compare your specs to these video editing workstations:

Thanks. Do you mean transcode befire taking them to AP?

I already set the sequence setting to go previews in DNxHD .

Points 1&2 complied with but not 3. O always tend to import.

I am just curious, why does import burden the system and how does media browser help?

Thanks

Original clips are MP4 avch. It appears that when Premiere is rendering and hits a long clip it gets all wound up and goes into sulk mode. But give it a lot of short clips and its fine; sails along fine.

The clips have colour changes etc mainly through Lumetri.

Whar I have been doing lately is to highlight a long clip, render it and then move to next long one. Once all long ones are done, I just tel it to render whole sequence.

I now have 16Gb installed. In AP settings its showing to use 11Gb. But in task manager it barely uses 8Gb ay any one time and there is usually 8-10Gb lying free.

[Harry Akkers]

Thanks for that.
Unfortunately, its DDR3 and they dont sell 16Gb or 32Gb sticks anymore. As its an overclocked system I have been advised to use memory in pairs. So I am limited to 2x8Gb hence max 16Gb.

Thanks guys.
Yes but is there a setting in Premiere pro which allows me turn up the brightness slightly without having to mess up the moniter calibration?
