Yes, it's important that you try with your own files. As I wrote, it doesn't apply to all codecs and formats.
And then, I didn't use it anymore with most GOP files under 17, since we simply have much more storage now. We used it for a huge doc, starting under 15 and continuing under 16, but I don't even remember at which point we trimmed the footage. Files were ProRes 4K out of a Ninja and H.264 out of a Sony A6000 then.
Currently I only use it for R3D and BRAW and it works fine there. Actually, it's the only way to export these codecs from DR anyway. Oh, and files out of a Sony Z-150 in H.264 in an MXF wrapper are trimmed without transcoding too. I checked with Media Info, where you see the encoding library. Yes, they are expanded to the next I-frame. Oh, and we use Studio.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
