Colour Grading: Basics >

# Viewing Proxies

After you generate proxies, you can view proxies while you colour grade your shots. It is useful to view proxies if interaction slows down. This can occur when you perform secondary colour grading on high-resolution images because a large amount of processing is required to display the result at full resolution.

Proxy view is set on a shot-by-shot basis. To view proxies, you must first generate them. See Generating and Viewing Proxies.

To view proxies:

1. Do one of the following:
   - On the function control surface for the Autodesk control surface, press the Proxy button.
   - On the Tangent CP100 control surface, press the Resolution button.
   - Press F9.
   - Click the Resolution button.

   The full-resolution image in the Player is replaced by the proxy (half-resolution) image. Use the same procedure to toggle between the full-resolution image and the proxy.

   Note If you have not generated a proxy for the shot, an X will appear in the Player.
