Stop Editing H.264: Why ProRes is the Ultimate Timeline Hack

Video Editing Timeline

Why Your Editing Software is Lags (And How to Fix It)

If you are dragging raw H.264 or HEVC files directly into CapCut or DaVinci Resolve, you are choking your CPU. These are delivery codecs, meant for viewing, not editing. Every time you scrub the timeline, your computer is struggling to decode compressed frames in real-time.

The Solution: The ProRes Pipeline

Using MediaEngine's Advanced Video Codec Transcoding, you can instantly up-scale standard video into high-bitrate Apple ProRes containers before you edit.
