Hmm. My previous reply was marked as spam, probably for going back and editing too many times? Thanks for the explanation! I've heard before that H265, and also to some extent H264, is bad for editing because of compression, but somehow I thought Premiere was able to handle it now. H264 footage is usually butter smooth, and footage from the older Mavic Pro 1 works well directly (not sure if that was h264 or h265). Is it better to transcode and use the new format directly as the new "original", both for editing and export, or is smarter to use proxies instead, and then export using the original HEVC files? Btw which transcoded format is the best for editing on Windows? ProRes DNx or Cineform? ProRes only became available on Windows recently. What is the advantage, other than cross-platform compatibility? I have tended to use DNx in the past, mostly on stuff made with AE. Sometimes Cineform when I needed to use Alpha channel. Dnx 10 bit in 4k (converted from some raw) has been a little to much for my system to handle in the past though, but 8 bit works fine.
