Hey John,

thanks for posting this. I watched the film and I think we have been working off an external drive. I’m going to try the project on a 2tb SSD and see if that makes a difference.

Converting all of the files of this project (800gb) into lossless proxy files could be challenging because of harddrive space. I always back everything up onto two drives. So if the proxy’s on this project take up 1.6tb then I’m using two 3tb drives which is about $250 worth of space for one project.

We’re working with 4k footage. Sony FS7 is mxf0p1a codec.

But we did also use proxy mode within premier as oppose to creating proxy’s using media encoder ourselves? So shouldn’t that help?

Cheers, Hugh : )

Thanks Jon. This is a good point. And I’m happy to try this.

We’re working with FS7 and FS5 and Sony A7S footage aswell as the Mavic pro footage.

The thing is we’ve turned proxy mode on within Premier and we’re trying to edit with proxy mode on and the resolution at 1/4 of the quality and it’s still doing it. Doesn’t proxy mode within premier mean that we’re working with pro res footage i.e. it doesn’t matter what the actual codec of the footage is as you’re working with those proxy files? Or is it somehow not true proxy’s?
