Nikon Z50ii footage PROBLEM

The Z50ii shoots 1080p and 4K video at 8 bit and 10 bit. In my experience with shooting 8 bit with the Nikon Z6ii, Premiere was able to handle the footage well. If I had to guess, you might have your Z50ii set to 4K 10 bit video. Best to provide your footage specs so we can diagnose the best course of action.

Being as most of us don't have any particular camera, and NLE performance is so often heavily dependent on the media ... format/codec/framesize/framerate and what produced it .... the options used in-cam even ... including that data is a must for getting intelligent replies.

Use Adobe Media Encoder or Shutter Encoder (free) to convert the footage to ProRes 422 or DNxHD.. These are much easier for Premiere to handle during editing.

Hey Alan,

I'm sorry to hear that. Could you share your source file properties here (Codec, Frame size, Frame rate.) Please also share your system specifications. If you mark in and out points and go to Sequence > Render In to Out, does the preview get better?

Thanks,

Ishan
