Boards Comment – If I convert from Sony A7Sii S-Log3 XAVC footage to ProRes (LT and higher), will I lose the flexibility in the colouring stages if I were to grade in ProRes?

Thanks for sharing this vital information!

And the result pretty much dictates my process, unfortunately. I work with a Youtube channel and our footage plays there pretty much exclusively.

My workflow currently goes:
- Import original files to storage
- Transcode files to ProRes
- Edit, grade and export in ProRes

Yeah, the biggest reason for transcoding is that I hate any form of stutter when editing. And wow... XAVC and H264 footage really slows down Premiere like crazy. Having lots of native footage really grinds my gears...

Thanks for your explanation.

Thank you, fam. This is all very useful information. Now I'm thirsty for some water.
