so I've used it a few times, but it absolutely chokes on 4K footage on my rig. I think maybe the lack of hardware acceleration for pre rendering?

I have a big project coming up and I'm considering downscaling all the source files, editing, and then slipping in the real files when I'm done. Is that a thing people do?

This is literally how all professional editors work, the lower res is called the offline edit, then you swap the high res back in for 'onlining' and export.
