Canon C500 mkII - Video editors

What's your minimum spec graphics card/CPU/memory to edit C500 mkII RAW?

I'm using an AMD 3700X with 64GB DDR 4 ram and NVMe/SSD drives and my system still can't handle RAW from the C500 mkII. I am using an old school 970 gtx however.

So I can edit Canon C200 raw light footage fine on my setup, most times Premiere timeline is yellow, a pre render is easy.

The C500 mkII raw is 6k res and it’s pure red on the timeline. Slow to load and really sluggish on playback. I didn’t realise it was on RAW only with 6K.

I shot some tests auto see what it’s like as the 10bit 4K was more than enough generally as I shoot mainly dramas.

Just to clarify yes I was referring to RL 5.9K. Didn't have the option to export at the time to an external recorder. I was only testing the RL to see what its like.

To be fair I've not even shot much on 7 bit on the C200 neither.

Be good to see some of your work. Might be in similar area or near to me.

If I can send a nothing clip I will though the files are huge.

I normally do use proxies and need to check for the C500 clips as I’m sure it was slow on playback even with the proxies. Need to double check this.
