Answers.Text: Wow, this looks epic! /// so, I've installed the codec. In Premiere Pro I already have Export option to Daniel2 codec. 
  However, how I can work with these files ? Are you first encode all your raw videos to Daniel2 and than work with it ? if so, what's the best approach ? Thank you

Answers.Text: Hi. Yes, I put all my video files to Media Encoder and convert them to Cinegy Daniel 2. Then just add this converted files into the Premiere project and work with them.
  Sometimes I add them as proxy files. Sometime if I have project with added files and some editing, I've just make offline all files and then relink new .mxf files.
  Usually I need to do batch renaming of all Cinegy files, because Media Encoder add "_1" to the end of the files.
  You can rename them before export or disable this option in Media Encoder, before adding files for converting.

Answers.Text: I use Cinegy Daniel as proxies, probably, because after editing video I need to leave all files on my PC. And in that way I can simply delete all converted material, but leave original files on my HDD. And in this case I don't need to do any relinking.
  So, I use Cinegy Daniel only for editing period (it can be 1-2 days, week, month), then, after I've done final render, I delete all Cinegy files, but leave original, more small files for archive.
  I didn't open videos in Cinegy Player for comparsion.You can try to change settings of converting and see on result.
  You're welcome! :)
