Creating Custom Ingest Presets for Proxy Workflows in Premiere Pro | Adobe Creative Cloud

[@pstrehlow134]

I've been watching youtube videos for 6+ hours unsuccessfully .. and finally found this video and I'm so happy I could cry

[@berndwarmuth430]

...and I could cry because this process obviousely must be that complicated... great tutorial, thanks!

[@KadeFresco]

SAVED MY CAREER. I had someone who sent me footage shot in 4k Portrait style. A Very ODD format, that adobe don't have on the list. The customer support at Adobe did not know how to handle this. Thank you.

[@playerxc1167]

same it word for me too!

[@benfortmiller3141]

I almost never comment on these things... But I have to say, thank you for a very clear, concise, thorough explanation. Well done!

[@ZKorvin]

This tutorial is the GOAT

[@chasebrockphoto]

one of the easiest to understand ingest and export presets. saves my life with 4k footage on an older 2015 macbook pro with minimal ram. Thanks!

[@themediaarchiver2097]

No need for this anymore with Premier Pro 24.2 Feb 2024 update!! There is a new custom option now under the new "Frame size" drop down. Thank you so much for this youtube link over the years though. Amazing it took years for a perfect proxy workflow. Better late than never :)

[@NoisyPixelStudio]

I was in a middle of a project when I found this tutorial and it saved me hours!! Thank you very much!

[@YOURTECHFRIEND]

3 hours ago I sat down to make a new video in Premiere Pro using clips shot on the new iPhone SE. And this video was the final puzzle besides finding various codecs, changing folder permissions and of course watching endless amount of youtube videos not getting the precise problem. Those lost 3 hours should have put me halfway through editing by now. Instead I'll go to bed. Thanks Apple, Adobe and Microsoft for this evil collab 😈😲💀

[@shontroelstrup2023]

It will be nice when I can finally remember this workflow so I spend less time watching tutorials to save time, rather than jumping right in to edit. But thank you for an excellent and easy to follow tutorial. It helped me deal with the 5.3K GoPro files that are tough to edit without proxies.

[@MatthewDavidRoberts]

This is a great tutorial and the only one I found that actually shows you the proper way to create a custom ingest preset. I couldn't find this on the Adobe site. Would love it if Premiere Pro would create a 1080p ProRes proxy ingest preset that's available in the standard list. I'm shooting 4K and trying to edit multicam footage in 1080p.

[@BimoPradana]

THIS VIDEO CHANGE MY WORKFLOW FOR GOOD.. THANK YOU

[@nicocoregames]

thanks for the info, I've spent days trying to figure out how to create custom proxy! thanks

[@hiblendmedia]

Premiere CC 2020 requires a folder selection under 'Transcode files to Destination'. Just create/choose a dummy folder just so that it can create the preset. You can still choose which folder you want the proxies to go to when you're creating the ingest settings.

[@AlphaCentauri24]

This is a very helpful tip. Why does adobe do such nonsense when 'browse for location' option should be fine.

[@nathanthomasvideography]

Thanks for your comment, it helped me to solve the problem.

[@megajinzo]

Typical ADOBE bull shit. They can never create a simple process. Somebody in QA tells the programmers to make 2 or 3 non-sensical non-intuitive steps. Happens every time.

[@crittercamproductions]

Wow. Just great! Thank you so much for this clear and concise presentation on how to create ingest presets to make proxies. 😊

waiting for media encoder to see if this works for me, even if it doesn't this was a smooth ass clear tutorial thanks. Also nice goat.

[@andrewjason6832]

Thankyou so much, very clear explanation ! I've been confused for a long time, and now I can scrub through the project easily.

[@frankhall401]

Excellent work. I was struggling to create a VR proxy for a 360 camera. The latest Premiere export menu is all new (and not in a good way).

[@megajinzo]

At 5:45 you leave the Destination field blank. This doesn't occur in Media Encoder 2020. Since I always want to specify the location of my proxy files, I left "Browse for Location". But wait! That generates an error code when I click OK at the bottom: "Please choose a destination path for enabled destinations." Who the hell wants the same location every time they ingest?? This looks like a bug in the Media Encoder app. Disappointed.

[@AlphaCentauri24]

Hiblendmedia commented on this. You should simply create & point to a dummy folder in order to create the preset. You will still be able to choose the proxy folder during ingest.

[@EricGiovon]

Thanks man!! That was amazing. Really helpful

[@Logan6films]

Nice tutorial. Why Adobe makes it so difficult to create custom proxies is hard to understand. It should take three steps and 10 seconds. Not 33 steps and 33 minutes (if you can follow this tutorial.) This program is not user friendly and frustrating to use ALL OF THE TIME.

[@martinlidl2685]

Cant thank you enough for this video - solid gold!!!

[@chiquinhooeditor]

Amazing explanation. Thanks.

[@TrishMeyer99]

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for! I found if I gave my Presets an unusual filename (such as starting with "Proxy_") then I can just Search for the preset name when click Add Ingest Preset.

When I follow tutorial step by step, when I go to import it to an ingest preset I get the following error code "This selected preset contains a file copy action which is not permitted for proxy generation. Please use a preset that only contains proxy generation settings" "Presets that use Copy, Transcode or Copy and Create Proxies can only be used as Ingest settings during file import* I got onto customer support and they just gave up once they tried what this tutorial said.

I want to make proxies from 50p footage but in 25p. I interpreted the raw material from 50p to 25p and added a new ingest preset also with 25p framerate. But when i'm toggling the proxy button the proxy footage is still on a different position than my original footage. Any idea?

[@TheDotanG]

Thanks! it was very clear and usefull

[@husamkwaik]

I was so mad because i couldn't find the preset i just made as i specified a destination but it wasn't there, but eventually found it in the documents folder, many thanks but when i select it in premiere it gives an error.. ill do it all over and see

[@husamkwaik]

it automatically created 2 preset files, one with the name.epr, the second name_1.epr name.epr gives error, name_1.epr works not sure why

[@asabmedia6239]

I followed the video which is very well done and easy to follow along, but when i add the ingest setting in premier it says "preset mismatch.. Presets that use Copy, Transcode or Copy and Create proxies can only be used as ingest settings during file import" Anyone have this issue or have any advice?

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@antoine.contat]

Thanks a lot!

[@Hangs4Fun]

I found this VERY helpful (btw, I used to breed champion Boer goats, and loved the clip of a goat you used for this video :-). So, using what you taught here, what I came up with that has completely changed the performance of how I edit, beyond setting scratch disks, hardware GPU, proxies, etc... I noticed that Adobe gets extremely Disk IO bottle necked. So what I did was to take my Alienware laptop, which lets me install 3 NVMe ssd sticks. I use a cheaper one (Samsung NVMe 960 evo 256GB) for my O/S and Adobe software to be installed on, I use a faster one (Samsung NVMe 960 pro 512GB) for all scratch & databases, I use another fast NVMe (Samsung NVMe 970 pro 1TB) for all proxy files, and I store ALL media sources (RAW video, MP4 video, RAW images, WAV 32bit audio, etc) and a Thunderbolt attached Drobo with 5x8TB WD Red drives for 32TB usable but redundant array. My editing speed has literally gotten to the point, that I am having to learn how to process in my head faster, where I used to have such sluggishness in the edit that I was able to take my time thinking about the next move. It was fast before with my set up I mentioned, but I wanted to thank you, because setting up these export and ingest Presets has greatly improved my workflow of using proxies. It was such a pain in the arse before and results would vary, that I stopped using them. But I am not using them and with hardly any time on my part with a repeatable consistent result. So thank you for the time I'm sure this video took you to put together. Here's my next issue to solve. I normally use Red Giant's Plural Eyes 4 to sync up my video and separate audio tracks. I've gotta learn how to adjust this workflow to include using Plural Eyes 4 to work with proxies. I know I can just do it in Adobe, but on longer video clips I have seen Premiere drift by the time I get to the end of the clip. Plural Eyes somehow avoids drift. QUESTION: How do you work in this workflow the use of external audio and syncing it with proxies, especially when using a Third Party software to do the sync'ing?? Thank you so much

[@Hangs4Fun]

To my complete surprise, I just tried doing my normal thing with Reg Giant Plural Eyes 4 in the app. I went to the same media location as all of the full size original video files are and dragged them with the external audio clips into the Plural Eyes tool, and did a synchronize. It worked great of course, and I then exported the results as a Premiere sequence and dragged that exported sequence into premiere like normal. Premiere AUTOMATICALLY let me use the proxies yet with the replaced audio from Plural Eyes. Adobe must have a good design on how they do proxies, such that the use of proxies (toggling on and off) is not known to 3rd party or effects or anything. Just pure magic. Thanks again

[@Nysoupla]

Wonderful stuff! Question? If I have footage, 1080p and UHD 3840x and TRUE DCI/Cinema 4096x - Do I need to USE a different Proxy preset for each one, or will one Proxy Preset do? Thanks for your help.

[@GustavoMendozaCanales]

@@benjaminkelly7803 Hey! I solved it by just giving any random destination. Premiere will still ask for a destination when you create the proxies.

Woww I frikin love this stuff I really want to get good at it and I love adobe. I had no idea about this feature, it sounds like this will let me make bigger more complicated projects? I've been breaking up my stuff into separate projects because they're kinda heavy for what I have. I've also been forced to limit my recording quality to compensate. Although I do usually have fun with my final products, I am always aiming to get them bigger better and looking more slick

what settings do you guys recommend for proxies in a windows machine?

[@chiefdenis]

Depends on the capability of your machine, afterall the proxy is meant to ease the stress off your cpu. i usually use quicktime cineform 854×480 or 1024x576, since i mostly edit with a small preview window instead of a second screen this is very adequate

I seem to be facing this problem. I cannot find my (FOR EXPORT) when creating an ingest preset. It just doesn't appear in the list. Any ideas what's the problem?

Anybody know how to share with another computer a proxy preset that has a LUT baked into it? I've tried copying both the .epr file and the .cube file but the LUT is not applied to the proxy on the second computer.

How do you create Proxies with a TRANSPARENT background?

[@AdobeCreativeCloud]

Hi! Let's see if this helps. At 3:32 in the video, the tutor selects "Apple ProRes 422 Proxy" as their preset. If you want a transparent background, try the option that says "Apple ProRes 4444 with alpha." This option is only available in the most recent versions of Premiere Pro. Any preset that says "with alpha" at the end should include your transparent background. At 6:04 in this video, the tutor makes another preset selection. Make sure you are selecting a preset that ends in "with alpha" to include the transparency. Hope this helps! Let us know. ^CS

Great tutorial! Although, I managed to make the preset in Premier, but when I go into Adobe Media Encoder in order to create the Ingest preset, it doesn’t appear? Do you have any idea why this may be?

[@IntentionalFarts]

Christian Marot I just figured out why mine was doing this, The format for the ingest setting needs to be QuickTime.

[@BlackbugDigital]

[@GregPizl]

Sure would be great to see this on a Windows machine. There is no such "Presets" folder on a PC and I have no clue where to find the Ingest Presets I've created...

[@rodrigourdaneta]

Did you try the directions in @6:46 to locate the Presets folder? Right-click your newly created preset in the Preset Browser window of Media Encoder and click on "Reveal Preset File". That should do the trick! I also think the Adobe Help webpage might give you the default location of Preset files for Windows systems.

[@GregPizl]

rodrigourdaneta Ironically, I did indeed find that randomly after the fact. That’s a useful function. Must have skipped over that part in the video.
