You may have found a way of getting around the limitations in the software that were put there for your benefit. I'd say you should do that at your own risk. It might work fine for a short-form project, but for any project longer than a couple minutes the time you save by not transcoding to a good editing codec is never worth the trouble of editing H.264 video.

It normally wouldn't allow me to do any h264 editing of 5d footage that requires any rendering at all. I'd just get an error message. Then, I made a multiclip sequence by right-clicking on a the footage.....and, bam, I was now able to do all my editing, including rendering cross-fades and effects and have since rendered out finished projects. Is there something I'm missing? I don't normally use multiclip sequences so......is this okay? It seems okay.
