My own early workflow incorporates Adobe Prelude (which utilizes Adobe Media Encoder) to prep all clips before ingesting into Premiere. You can also trim your clips in Prelude. In video projects unrelated to Drone videography, I've thrown video clips from multiple sources (cameras) onto the Premiere timeline and it intelligently conforms all clips. The Mercury Playback engine is beneficial, particularly if you have a video card that can handle the workload with its GPU. I was always a MAC guy when it came to video editing. But 18 months ago, with 4k on the horizon, I decided to do a home build PC. I built a i7 6-core machine with 32 gb RAM, EVGA GEFORCE GTX 780 video card, X79 Dark motherboard, A solid state boot drive, and four 1 TB storage drives . . . all for under $3,000. A similar MAC Pro would be close to $10,000. I am no longer a Fan Boy of either system. I just use what works best and costs less. Because in a few short years, it's a doorstop . . . and we're onto the next big thing. |
