It seems I cannot convince you of what you're up against. So I wish you the best.

Interesting, I will need to look at some options regarding my computer...perhaps I need to run those adobe updates I've been delaying...
And Perrone, you have not failed in convincing me. I KNOW I should probably be editing in a 10-bit .avi codec, but I'm just not convinced that I NEED cineform to do that. I'll work with proxies for now as its doing pretty fine. My question is, however, do I replace the proxy footage with the original 7d h.264 .mov files, or link them to DNxHD files? I'm judging by the information in this post that my various cuts will have less of an impact on the DNxHD files than the h.264 files. |

Ideally, you'd want your proxy files to be encoded with the same codec as the source footage so the color space is the same, and so that the changes you make on the proxy will accurately reflect the changes on the full sized images. You just cannot guarantee this if your proxy is encoded differently from the full size files. I've done it that way and it was always more work. There's lots of ways around this problem. But all will cost you time, convenience, or quality. I "can't" use Cineform, so I choose to sacrifice time, because I refuse to sacrifice quality.

That said, I believe Cineform has a free trial. Check it out and see if does the job for you. Once you realize that it actually increases the quality of your image, not just the speed of editing, you may think it's worth the $100. I think there is no doubt that it is.
