Amaazing tutorial series. Extremely clear and helpful. Thanks a lottt.

Thanks for this really helpful tutorial! I just had a question concerning the potential risk of having both the footage and the proxies named exactly the same. In my case, both also have the same extension (.MOV). If you're distractingly handling your files and a mix up happen or something like that. Can anything be done to prevent that? or would the workflow still work if you add "proxy" to the name?

Thanks for all the tips, but I'm curious about one thing: I did not find any video about color correction or color grading using proxies on KZbin...we should not do it???

[@chinfat]

You can do it. But proxies do not have all the original color information as the high quality footage. So no real point in grading the proxies when you can grade the original files with better color depth.

[@antmarobel2592]

@@chinfat Understood. Again, thanks for the precious tips chinfat. A hug.

Will you do one on exporting to different film stocks, eg 16mm and 35mm Film? The lab stuff. Yea, I’ve had real issues relinking footage in the past. Still do when, no realising I’ve changed a file name or location path. One can spend considerable time trying to fix this.

Thanks for all your work. In a future tutorial, can you demonstrate how to make proxies for a multicam sequence, particularly when the cameras have different resolutions? I want to be able to see all my cameras at the same aspect ratios as I go thru the multicam edit process in the project window.

[@chinfat]

That's a great idea.

great tutorial. I'm messing up the folder locations or something because it find the proxy files instead of the originals. So it doesn't work

Hey chinfat! It’s 2021, are you still doing this workflow? I am working with Red footage (Gemini). I have editors in another country so I’m having to send files back and forth. Most of the time the video have timecode! Are you still creating proxie videos in davinci for this method ? Thanks in advance!

[@chinfat]

It seems like every time I get a new computer that handles the the newest codecs and resolution, a new camera comes out with higher resolution and bulkier files. Just recently started doing workflows with RED's 8k footage. And that bogs my machine down, so yes.... I still use the proxy workflow for files that are too bulky. If my machine is fast enough to work with 4K files, then there is no need. So it really depends on the footage and my machine's ability to keep up. Hope this helps.

why didn't you just right clicked and chose "relink original media"?
