Transitions Problem solving with colour

When i was trying to colour correct the edit on the university's Macs the footage was laggy and any changes i made only took affect after five seconds or so of applying them, so i asked Ferg if he could help. He told me about codecs and that by putting it into Adobe Prelude i might be able to get the footage running faster and be able to change colours whilst seeing what effect that had on the lumetri scopes simultaneously.

Adobe Prelude - asset management, allows you to take clips and preview/ prepare them for an edit, it also allows to log and make notes to recode and prepare workflows (basically preparing clip, giving editors properly prepared clips for editing).

I decided to research into this and i found that there are people who's entire jobs are to just load footage and sort it ready for the editors (no small feat!). Below are Videos that cover what these jobs consist of and two professionals who work in that field

What i did to help with the speed of footage delivery was to go to ingest (often mixed up with importing, which must be done as it was designed to take things directly from camera rather than several stages e.g. from camera to mac to hard drive). By using ingest it allows you to copy master clips and transcode them to an editing friendly format. I went to transcode and chose MXF ( stands for Material Exchange Format), and then put preset codec as XDCAM HD 50 PAL 25p.
