This is the first time I’v

This is the first time I’ve actually posted to a forum and I tell ya it’s been extremely enlightening. I’ve used Premiere a bit and I’ve used FinalCutPro (without previous exposure and lessons in it’s use.) But, one to the other seemed easy enough. But, the ProRes conversion bothers me. It sounds like before I edit any video I need to convert the video – even if I know that I won’t be using half of it I still need to convert to see it. Rendering was an issue for me. I’ve been able to use Premiere without any of that. Am I missing something?

THank you Jerron and Rob. You’ve been very helpful.
