C100: 1DC: Smooth playback on a PC

jaket

Well-known member
I'm trying to nail down a workflow for my 1DC 4k footage, but I'm finding very little info on editing the footage with smooth playback on a PC. On the Mac side of things I'm reading that you can convert to Prores and get smooth playback, with a fast enough raid.

So I figured that I'd start a thread with what I've figured out and hopefully get some other people talking.

Our main edit system is as follows

-i7 2.9ghz
-GTX460 x2
-7200rpm system drive
-Raid 0 edit drive (x3-2TB sata 7200rpm)
-Windows 7 pro 64bit
-Premiere Pro CS5.5

The 4k files off the camera playback choppy in everything except the EOS Movie Utility 1DC.
I'm guessing that I'll need to transcode to something else at the end of the day, but I don't know what yet.

Any advice or suggestion that can add to the conversation would be appreciated.
