Re: Crushed Blacks, a temporary solution?

Even though Premiere can work with h.265 I still use Adobe Media Encoder to transcode to DNxHD for editing. I find that it plays back much better when editing and stays smooth even with a lot of effects applied and a complex timeline. When editing h.265 or h.264 it starts to stutter when things get more complex.

To help with file size (since DNxHD makes a rather large file) I keep all my h.265 original footage separate and after I've finished a project I'll delete the DNxHD files.  I can always convert it back again if I needed to change a finished project at a later date.  That way I'm not keeping two copies of the same footage.

My rig:

Sager Laptop running windows 10 x64

i7-6820hk (running at 4.0ghz stable)

GTX 970m

16gb ddr4 2133

1 Samsung m.2 SSD (OS/Apps)

2 HyperX SATA SSD (1 project files and source footage, the other Media Cache, Previews, and Exports)

If that can't edit h.265 without any slowdown, I don't know what will.
