Tl;dr I am using a x264 codec and want to know what my settings should be for easy editing in Premier Pro CS6.
This may be a noob question, this may be a hard question, I am new to the forums so sorry.
A little backstory on what I am doing. I am recording my perspective video games with a program called dxtory and editing them in Premier Pro CS6.
My issue is that when I changed my recording codec from the default (I was getting 500gb 40min videos) to a new codec and settings that was recommended to me, Premier will stutter when playing my recordings back. The recordings are fine, I can play them outside of Premier. I have also been editing them, although it takes a bit of patience. Seeking through the video is not possible, once I land on a frame I want to see it takes 3 sec for Premier to display it. If I wait for it to display, playback becomes choppy after 2 seconds or so.
I am positive it is the new encoding because I could edit the 500gb files fine. I haven't changed anything else. I am just not sure where to start with changing settings for Premier's liking. Possibly the files are too compressed from the start? It takes a while to transcode later too.
What I hope is that there is one or two things I can changing in dxtory to help Premier display the video faster without changing too much. I have liked the new smaller file sizes, but I understand it may not be win win.
Here are my current codec settings:

Is there something obvious I should change? Thanks for reading and looking at my problem.
