I have a DSLR that records H.264, MOV files (currently recorded 720p 24 frame (23.98))
I'm using PremiereElements 9 (windows) and have been editing away my first project. I hit some memory hiccups and went to the web for advice. I was watching AdoramaTV on their episode on HDSLR post production and saw another photographer that is doing video.. and they convert to Apple ProRes for their clips before editing.
I was going to try to do this with my clips to see if it put some of my memory hiccups at ease but of course, this looks like it's probably an Apple only codec.
Does anyone convert their footage before editing DSLR videos?
What codec is a good edit codec on the PC?
