Re: Workflow and playback for Uncompressed 10-bit is choppy on my Mac Pro.

[Daniel Sametz] "Go then with Prores HQ. It's good for keying and composing and less processor intensive than 10 bit uncompressed. But if you must use the codec then the more the internal HDD the better. :)"

Wouldn't ProRes actually be MORE processor intensive, due to its more sophisticated decoding requirements during playback? 10 bit uncompressed has more hardcore data throughput requirements, but I would think it would actually be LESS processor intensive. Unless I'm remembering wrong, 10 bit uncompressed is supported on much older hardware then ProRes is.
