And keep the camera/phone original until the project is delivered. A proxy, CFR conform or convenient H.264 copy is a working file, not automatically ...
Yes. Matching total duration is not enough if timing differs throughout the clip. VFR is especially troublesome when a proxy is created as simplistic ...
A local SSD helps a little, but an intraframe proxy makes seeking dramatically faster. Source structure is clearly a major part of the delay.
VFR/irregular timestamps can make seeking worse, so inspect them too. Then compare with a proxy or intraframe copy.
Resolution alone says little about compression quality. Compare source and output bitrate, codec, chroma subsampling and how many lossy generations th...
Remux first. Remuxing changes the container while copying the existing compressed streams, so it is fast and avoids another lossy generation.
