importing HD footage and Red footage

Do I need to check "Create Optimized media" and "Create Proxy media" when working with HD footage H264 .mov

Same question when using footage coming from the RED camera. (not sure what format this is called)

Thanks

You don't need optimized in most cases. Whether you need proxy depends on your system and drive capabilities. These files can be generated after importing. It really does not need too be done during the import process.
