I can play the footage fine in premiere pro but it gets choppy from time to time, I know I should transcode it and all that but I dont want to have to spend the time doing that. Do I need a better cpu , i7 7700k? or a ssd for scratch files? I know its more taxing on the pc for Long GOP footage but any advice would be great, Id like to know if anyone with the i7 7700k can play the footage back smoothly. Id say 40% of the time it plays back fine until it gets to half way on the clip or it hits a 10bit 422 file it gets choppy.
take a look (the topic talks about GPU and CPU):
