The files aren't hidden or encrypted, I tried different ports/cables but no dice unfortunately. Normally I would be able to just run into the office to try it on that PC again but I am Work From Home today.

So I save files and edit projects on an SSD so I can work from home easier and when I have been using the SSD on either my laptop or my main PC and then I need to plug it into the other PC the files that had just added or the project I have been working on seem to not show up on the PC, but if I plug it back into the PC it was plugged into before the files are still there. This has been a massive headache and I have not been able to find a solution myself and I have never encountered something like this before. For information the Laptop is a Razer Blade 15 and the Desktop PC is a Dell workstation. Both are running windows 10.

Interesting, i will give this a shot! I have actually been trying out Davinci Resolve 16 for the last month and it has very few issues with playback.

Thanks all for the replies! To answer some questions yes 1080 is no problem it is only when I use 4k that it chugs. I kind of thought it might be the CPU It definitely does seem like proxies will be my go to from now on. Thank you again everyone!

Hello All, My work computer really seems to chug when I am editing 4k footage from my Gh5, I am curious if it is my hardware. I edit in Premiere and I know I can make proxies to help solve this issue, I just wanted to see if there was something else I could try before I switch up my workflow.

Got it. So more RAM would definitely help.

It mainly came to my attention after working on a large project that had a lot of interviews.

That all makes perfect sense! Thank you for the help everyone!

I did try proxies recently with good results so that might be it. I am working off of an external HDD.

Hey Everyone, I know this may seem a bit out there but I wanted to see if someone else might have had this issue. So my company bought me a editing workstation (see attached parts list) and i have been using it to edit 4k footage shot from a GH5. I use Adobe Premiere and lately it has been super sluggish while trying to edit. I wanted to know if the PC is just under powered or if its Windows 10 enterprise have some wonky effect. Thank you!

Sounds like a plan! Good luck! If you get a chance post some of your shots, I would love to see them!

Oh bummer. Sorry not use to looking internationally haha. But if you can find a point and shoot for the price range you have that would probably be best. Anything with swap able lenses will raise the price quite a bit.

This one might be up your ally. I am a fan of the Lumix series and you can get one used for around your price range. It is small and offers great image quality. Panasonic-DMC-TZ81EG-K-Traveller

What is your budget?

It isn't bad, just dated. I would go with the first one if you could though.
