Extracting Proxies
 
 
 

You can extract proxies from high-resolution clips to create a new clip. Extracting proxies can be a quick way to produce a low-resolution version of a high-resolution clip for intermediate review. The advantage of extracting a proxy rather than, for example, resizing the high-resolution clip, is that the process is instantaneous and there are no increases to storage requirements because the media has already been generated.

To extract proxies:

  1. In the Main menu, click Format.
  2. Click Extract Proxies.
