Hi

At first my laptop was dealing well with 4k from my sony a99ii, but after I've dropped many clips to the time time, the computer is slowing down. So I want to transcode my files to 1080p, but I don't want to redo my timeline. So in other words, I want to transcode the files in my folder but without changing their names. I want premier to reopen the original time line. Is this doable?

I agree with Brian. Use the new Proxy feature. Use the included GoPro Cineform presets only. You will notice a markedly better editing experience, and the original high quality media will be automatically used for final export.

A quick follow-up question:

If I pull in a clip to the timeline that I want to colour-grade (in Premiere), if I grade it and then create a proxy, will Premiere remember that grade for the final export?

I'm having trouble understanding at what stage to colour grade.

Thank you.

You can grade the proxies.

When exporting AME will use the original files with all the effects.

If I understand the problem this is the exact reason Premiere instituted the proxy workflow. You can generate lower rez files and PP will handle the swapping for you. You can do all your work on the proxies and then tell PP to swap in the full-size files at render.

Take a look at these 2 links for help:
