    Clips from DSLR not playing back smoothly, not sure if I have a codec problem?

      Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me - this is my first time on the Adobe forum for Premiere Pro.

       

      I need to shoot a short film for my jewellery business on my DSLR and then import my clips in to Premiere Pro to edit. All the clips play back fine importing straight although with a yellow bar straight away which I thought was strange. I thought I would get green. As soon as I add any effect or transition playback just grinds to a halt and it becomes impossible to work. I don't want to have to render every single clip as this isn't a realistic way of working I don't think. Ultimately I need to render to a movie for playback in Vimeo / Quicktime or WMV.

      My Mac is:

      I-Mac with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 with 12 Gb Ram. I have just one hardrive.

       

      I have experimented with several different codecs by changing them in Adobe Media Encoder but none seem to improve the situation and I'm now at a bit of a loss as what to do.

       

      Any help would be most welcome.

      Thanks in advance.
