Thank’s I look that up and work out how to get it into Resolve. I’m sure Sped grade is very good but I’ll just learn the one but of software for now.

I vanished there due to PC problems but your right and i’ll run a test of before nailing a workflow. Will come back and report the results.

Ok interesting so I do my corrections in lightroom then import as image sequence into Premier pro, drop into a 1080 time line and then it gets downsized when i export with the compressor. I’m new to Premier Pro, PC is not a problem it can do all of this, you don’t think there’s any difference between Photoshop and premier for reducing a larger format to HD, both will produce roughly the same quality 1080?

This problem was files I could not see with the same name but different file types attached to or within the folders that I was trying to import.

Updated Premier Pro.
So I noticed that there is bar that says conforming in the bottom right, I don’t know what this is, it cant be proxy’s, can it? anyhow I think I just over loaded Premier with a lot of clips to conform and then kept asking it to play one it was not ready to. That’s my best guess. Though it seems a bit sensitive
The problem of failed imports is still there. I reimported it all and the same few clips got flagged in the same way and i was told they had not imported but they were there in the project bin no problems. I tried dropping one into the time line and it’s fine.
I also found that if I individually import the clips there is no warning but if I import the whole file then I get the warnings.

Thanks for getting back to me. I went to the Media browser tab next to the Project tab and found the files I needed on my media drive I then left clicked on the folder (they are by date with video and audio in two separate folders within) and chose import from the menu. I have tried going into the files and doing the same on the actual individual files but this made no difference and There is too much to do this way anyhow.
I then noticed that some thumb nails were greyed out in the project bin. If I ran my mouse over the file the image appeared on all but one so I double clicked to bring it up and got a yellow Media Pending screen. I checked my media drive and there was no activity. I waited and after some time the application stopped responding and I had to close it down.
It had imported this clip with out complaint and this clip plays in all other apps with out a problem.
The GoPro files are hard work for the PC and I have never used one that could just drop them onto the time line and edit with them before but this is a good PC and it seemed to be fine. I am trying to update Premier now to see if this helps.

Thanks for the reply, why do you think it’s a bad idea for the cache and the backup to be on the same drive? I shall have a external backup of important stuff, this is just to make replacing one of the drives as convenient and quick as possible should it fail or become corrupt. I guess a clone sounds like a good idea, I could put a 500GB HDD and have it in the computer so that I could boot from it, but then I could not clone it onto the new SSD, or could I? In which case I would have to boot from the USB anyhow so the system Image would be much the same thing would t it? There seems to be a few good cloning programs out there. I’m still a bit lost on how to back up the RAID though.

Thanks for getting back, I shall put Video and Audio Preview, onto the HDD, project files onto the c drive and Media onto the RAID. I was going to use the HDD for back up in case of drive failure in the RAID too. I was thinking the cache wouldn’t be too big and I shall clear it regularly, How do you think this sounds? If the RAID goes beyond 60% full I shall rethink it all a little but I cant see it going there in the near future.
I’m surprised you say the CPU is the bottle neck, people always seem to point to the transfer speed bottle necks.
