Thanks Chris I’ll give that stuff a try!

Here’s a little update. I used Media Encoder to transcode the files to ProRes 422HQ and everything is extremely snappy now with no dropped frames. I suppose I’ll have to keep doing this until Premiere decides to do something about this issue. Pretty ironic that Premiere can handle files that are almost 9 times the size more efficiently than the smaller files (XAVC S)

Thank you for your insight David. MPEG Streamclip doesn’t support XAVC it appears. What do you recommend? EditReady?

Also, I thought this might be worth mentioning to you just in case you hadn’t considered it. Someone else said they think storing my OS and Apps on my fusion drive could be the issue since it’s part SSD and part 5400rpm HDD and supposedly only an 80MB/s transfer rate. Any thoughts on that?

So the column next to Premiere Pro in the activity monitor peaked at 710% and the three numbers down below were:
System: 10%
User: 85%
Idle: 5%

Are these normal numbers? Someone else mentioned that they think storing my OS and Apps on my fusion drive could be the issue since it’s part SSD and part 5400rpm HDD. Any thoughts on that?

I turned Lumetri off and it helped but only very slightly. Am I safely able to turbo up to 3.9? I’m unfamiliar with the process how do I do that?

Thanks for all the info! I didn’t know that some of these lower end RAID drives could be slower than a normal hard drive. What is the next step up as far as editing speed from the Seagate and the WD that you mentioned?

Also, my fusion isn’t an external so not USB 2.0, but I still shouldn’t be storing my footage/projects on it with my OS. That surely is slowing me down yeah?

I’d like the protection of the My Book RAID 1 and don’t really care about the speed as much since it will be for backups and not footage/projects, but I guess $650 is quite a lot for 4TB. What do you recommend for backups instead? Just a normal USB 3.0 or thunderbolt external drive? Or two of them for peace of mind?

Also should I have separate drives for footage and premiere project files?
