Thanks Joe, Noah and Jeff !
I really appreciate your help on this, this is a really cool community.

So I was trying some of the things you guys mentioned, so far I noticed a big change when switching to proxy files, so I am going to start doing that from now on.

I am editing from an USB 3 Drive, do you think I could get better performance from another drive? Like thunderbolt, or something else? Any suggestions?

I am gonna start editing a new project with about 2000 files, so I can try to replicate what happened before and see if working with proxies at that scale solves the problem I had. I will post if I find out anything interesting.

Thanks all again!

Hi guys,

I tried using the link to AMA file then transcode workflow but I am having serious issues with importing/transcoding.

Until now I have used Canon T5i .Mov H264 files and never had a problem importing. But I just got the Panasonic GH4 and it is a nightmare, if I set more than one file to import/transcode, it will freeze and crash the Avid.

So far I can only import files one a time, and it stills crashes some times. It is extremely time consuming and frustrating.

I was wondering, am I the only one having problems importing/transcoding GH4 files?

I have GH4 mov h264 1080 29.97 clips. On a 29.97 timeline.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Nicolas
