Best thing to do from this is to grab a free synthesizer and play around. This is an "easy" on written by college students in Berlin. Has 3 oscillators and 3 filters and can build a ton of sounds from a wave sound. http:/&#x

If you have a H.264 (non-intraframed) and it is playing back in preview fine I try to just use that instead most of the time. ProRes 540p is HUGE. Are you working with 4k? If not I would knock that down. Apple ProRes 422 is only 147 Mbs.

I love this tool and just started using it. If this did DNxHD codec transcoding I would love it forever. I need to ask and look to see if this is possible to add. When you edit videos you SHOULD transcode your videos into a format that actu

I would seriously blame codecs. The programming from video editors I am sure is 100% about compromises. You can't get a smooth preview playback of 4K unless you have sunk thousands of dollars into your computer. I am guessing that they

I would say that the use of Premier is easily double of Final Cut Pro (Probably around 50%) with people that make money from video editing. I would say that consumer use I would be surprised if Final Cut Pro would even reach 15%.

If your looking for a new free editor Davinci Resolve is the clear choice right now. Actually for any money it is my choice. Just 2 years ago it was $2000 and I thought it was well worth the cost.
