Hi. I expound my humble opinion on the subject. In general, a file with the codec H264 8 bits 4: 2: 0 is decoded by hardware (HW), which greatly helps the editing, when using this method the memory consumption is not so serious since the flow of data is more direct, there is less transfer. When using a file with codec h264, but 10 bits 4: 2: 2, like the files of the GH5, it is something else, this feature is not supported by the hardware decoding, here Premiere starts to decode by software (SW) , this results in an increase in memory consumption, by the type of process and by the characteristics of the file. If you do not have a PC with a good number of cores and at least 4GB each, and no less than 3 internal disks, it is advisable to use proxy. https://forums.adobe.com/people/Kevin+Karr escribió Now my machine is older but hasn't had too many issues in the past. I risk saying for your comment, do not bother trying to edit the files of the GH5, and less in 4K to 400Mbps, the memory capacity will fall abruptly asiendolos unmanageable.
