The biggest misconception the NLE industry has fed us is that you can edit camera originals natively.
With only a few notable exceptions, homogenizing footage to an *edit codec* is the best bet.
All major NLEs have offline/online tools explicitly designed for this.

For those of you asking about "notable exceptions":
ProRes
DNxHD (or HR)
Blackmagic RAW (BRAW)
Cineform
There are "intraframe" codecs (frame-independent; each frame is a complete image.)
You want to avoid "Long GOP" codecs. h.264/265? Yeah, try and avoid & #39;em.

MPEG-2 has been pretty easy to edit with for many years. In fact, I *think* the default setting for timeline previews in Premiere Pro is MPEG-2.

And I& #39;ll take this opportunity to re-profess my eternal love for Cineform as well as my eternal frustration with how it fizzled out with (and after) GoPro.
