The 264 and 265 formats are not great for all for most GPU's and therefore are not ideal proxy formats, and slow down many systems, even if you have Apple silicon with dedicated hardware decoding, ProRes proxy or DNX LB are still smoother I think and cause less work for the cpu and gpu. And then the ONE ProRes choice is 422 instead of 422 LT or Proxy, I don't get it. This is contrary to every professional workflow used for large projects. We always avoid long gop formats for editing if we can.
This makes no sense to me at all. Can someone elucidate why these are the only choices for me?
I understand you
especially about ProRes Choices... DNxHR LB would be a great addition
but I feel that, hardware that have 5 years old max, manage very well long GOP H264 H265.
By "manage" I mean : Playback & Editing
The main issue could be a too big resolution. but that why proxy are.
May be you can elaborate more about your workflow
I hope you know that you can use Resolve to batch transcode to any codec .....
