Gameplay files recorded in 2560x1600 mov NVENC coded on OBS Studio 17.0.0, import just fine, but the preview

is green, when you play your sequence it's so slow you cant even edit the clips. When you render 2.5hour sequence

in 1080p renders in about 10 minutes, resulting file is unplayable and is about 60kb instead of 12gb as predicted.

Help I cant update my youtube channel...

Yeah one of those codecs that just doesn't play well with premiere yet even though other software can scrub and playback without issue....Seems to cause a massive Spike in GPU usage and instability in premiere overall when using in a timeline.

Playing back long-GOP files is one thing, in a player that only plays the things.

An NLE is an entirely different beast, however ... which needs to be able on the fly to grab bits & pieces of video files, add the effects listed in the metadata for the sequence, and play the result back.

Ain't the same thing at all.

I work for/with/teach pro colorists, who have truly massive hardware ... their computers often are well north of $12,000, with monitors costing well more ... they probably have more in the monitor calibration gear than your entire system costs. Easily.

And if they get much long-GOP delivered to them for a job, nearly all of them immediately transcode it. They don't even load that orginal stuff into the system, as they don't want the mess of trying to play it back under the grade.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I can see why that would be the case, but just as a test i brought this xml into Resolve and it played it back like it was butter. Premiere can, and should do better.

Your material is unsuitable for editing with professional software.

Use something else.

Your response is kinda ridiculous... I'm a professional videographer and a photographer, and I expect my "Professional" program to be able to import clips i film, or capture... it only says alot about the premiere...

To the point tho, i switched to Fraps (not a professional program by any means) and it works just fine now. But anyways Thanks so much for everyone trying to help, I appreciate it very much!

I had a similar problem in a previous version of PP; all my Live Gamer Portable MP4 files turned out green in PP. They worked fine in the previous version. I never got an explanation to why this happened, but I came up with a pretty silly way of fixing it. I just renamed all video files from .MP4 to .TS ... and then all files worked again! I don't quite understand how this would help, obviously some sort of container problem. Avermedia's reply was that the problem was in PP, I am inclined to believe them...

I am not sure this will help you of course, but might be worth trying. Can you capture to a different container using OBS?
