Regenerating Proxies

If the current project is set to store proxies, you can regenerate proxies at any time. Regenerate proxies if you want to change the proxy quality.

Do not regenerate proxies if your project contains clips unlinked with the Unlink Hires option, and you are working on proxies only. After regeneration, these clips will be left with clip metadata that has neither the original media nor proxies linked to it. If this occurs you will not be able to continue working on the clips unless you recapture and relink the media.

To regenerate proxies:

1. In the EditDesk menu, make sure the current option in the Menu Priority box is disabled, or select and enable Effects.

   
   

2. Select and enable Video in the A/V Tools box that appears.

   
   

3. Enable Proxy Regen in the Video Tools menu.

   
   

4. Select a proxy quality from the Filter box. Proxy quality affects processing and proxy generation duration since lower qualities are faster to calculate. However, the quality does not affect the amount of framestore space required for proxies.

   
   

   Select:	To specify:
   Draft	The lowest possible quality.
   Coarse	The next highest quality after Draft.
   Medium	The next highest quality after Coarse.
   Quality	The next highest quality after Medium.
   Bicubic	The highest possible quality.

5. Select the clip to regenerate its proxies.
