Hi Matt! I just going trough KZbin on how to proxy on premier Pro. I just got a a7ii and been editing and Color correct my footage. So I saw my subscription videos and you have just made this video! Lol! Very timely! Keep up the videos man! Love them !

[@RodneyCooperFilmz]

Do you prefer proxies over transcoding?

[@giacomopinale4573]

thanks a lot.... A LOT for this tutorial i feel so much prepared to taclke those hundreds of clips awaiting now... then again, i have a question, when i was making the preset i couldnt make it 119.xxx (dont remember those extra numbers) frames in the coding preset sttings window wich is the original footage so i did it as 59,94, it came quite close , but still changed the perspective a little bit in the end on premiere, sooo..... is there a way in wich i can choose the correct matching 119.xxx frames of the original in the preset settings box of media encoder? or will i have to interpret the footage after the setting in the queue window after the fact?

for some reason the logo still doesnt show up for me when toggling. I've tried redoing it several times. Any thoughts, Matt?

[@thinkmakepush]

For everybody having issues with the watermark not showing, make sure to check the box "absolute sizing" in the watermark settings. The reason it's not showing is because the watermark image is too big and being scaled off the edge of your proxy render. The absolute sizing option will automatically scale it down to the right size to fit your proxy resolution.

[@refinedcreative7573]

Thanks Matt! This breakdown it thorough and even though it's long, it helped us decide on creating a custom 1920X1080 23.976 ProRes Proxy to work on all of our machines. Your enthusiasm for this subject made us stop and dork out and be excited while watching. Our process/takeaway: (Fo shooting 4K interviews but for 1080 delivery ) We filmed for two docs with a Sony FS7 in West Africa with b roll and slo-mo in 1080 but 13 interviews in 4K. Some of the 4K interviews were over 30 minutes and customizing the proxy for edit makes life so simple. Our largest file, a 72 GB 4K file has a proxy size just under 10 GB. The proxy workflow combined with making sub-clips in prelude has saved us at least 2 weeks of work by cutting down the internal review and caption workflow before showing the client.

[@whoismatt]

Haha thanks so much!

Honestly not only are you amazing at explaining all of this with a high quality video and audio content, you're also super honest with your audience.

Thanks a bunch Matt! I almost had to buy a maxed out macbook pro for same day edits until I found out about proxy files! Oh and for Apple users, instead of Cineform I suggest choosing ProRes 422 (proxy), you get to keep 100% quality instead of 1, and the files take up 25% lesser space than Cineform, which also means that it'll take even less time to create those proxies

"Mac computers tend to slow everything down no matter what." How so?

[@melihkaleciklioglu]

Idaho Falls Magazine editing on a 2018 MacBook at work, overheating is a massive issue with those machines. But that’s also die to the fact that premiere is slow as hell - so the combination does it. At home I’m working on a desktop, 1060 and all but it’s premiere that’s the problem in there. I’ll definitely try this out on my next project, pretty tired of laggy workflows and editing

[@Craqve]

[@maryamhassan6031]

ikr I will literally spend like 15 mins editing before my mac starts heating up real bad. Got a fan stand so if I plug it in before editing its all good for an hour or 2 but if I wait for it to start over heating then Imma need to let it rest for a bit or I ain't getting anything done smh. TBH its really just the MacBooks (for me) that have the severe lagging and overheating issues desktop Macs are fine (so far) for the most part but these proxies will be a huge help.

[@IAmClaudius]

Not sure if this question has been asked. When I'm ready to export final video, do I need to turn off Proxy preview or will Premiere & AME know to render actual footage?

[@AlbertoPiedrolaAPSfilms]

You don’t need to change anything. Premiere will render the sequence with the original video files.

Tip for those with watermarks not appearing in proxy files. I couldn't get the downloadable presets to use the watermark no matter what I tried, so I ended up creating my own custom proxy presets following Matt's instructions (and his Adobe proxy watermark file). THEN the watermark worked no problem.

[@sandboxaperture7013]

This is a pretty solid tutorial, I actually used this video when I was trying to figure out how to use proxies for the first time, so I'm very grateful that this video was available. If anyone doesn't have adobe media encoder and is interested in knowing how to use proxies using Handbrake (free program), I just posted a video on my channel about it.

[@michaelbruceallen3700]

First of all, this is definitely a time saver! That being said: Anyone figured out how to interpret footage in media coder automatically instead of: 1) wait for media encoder to load all files (lots of minutes), 2) stop the auto render, 3) cancel partially completed file, 4) delete partial file, 5) reset status of stopped file, 6) select all listed proxy jobs and interpret footage (lots of minutes) 7) when the simple menu (that should be static and not need to wait) is loaded select proper framerate then hit "OK" (lots of minutes again)????? I dont mind waiting, I just dont like waiting multiple times for something so silly. The time we wait could be programmed in the render process. If anyone has a solution, it would help a ton!!!

[@asheler1]

I was wondering what would happen if you create the proxies first and then interpret the footage to the lower frame-rate? Would it apply that change to the proxy as well, in that case? I haven't had a chance to try it.

Quick tip for folder navigation: You can click on the empty space in the address bar and it lets you copy the folder tree, which then you can paste into the preset selection dialog box. It takes you directly to the same folder.

[@PALE1080]

Ok, so i think i found an even more simple proxy settings (no more interpretation error, no more watermark missing) Create your proxy with H264 CODEC and put size 1280x720, framerate "same as source" and with a very low bitrate (2mb/s MAX) Add the watermark in the effect panel (same as him) and create the ingest file with this profile i found this because i knew a lot of people had troubles with the interpretation of their footage and had watermark issues etc... and the most important point, a lot of people doesnt have the codec to read these quicktime clips so the proxies clips just doesnt work thumbs up if it works for you ps: sorry for my bad english

Hello, thanks for this great and helpful video. The question I have is, how do I deal with proxy files once I am finished with the editing and I'm ready to export the project to hand over to the client or upload on the internet? Do I need to turn back those proxy files into not proxy files? How do I do this? Have you made a video about this step in the process yet?

[@peterperosa506]

Just export the project as normally. Premiere will process the original files automagically. When done with editing you can delete the proxy files if you are on short with disk space. You do not need them. (you can always re-create them)

[@MichalOlender]

I'm waiting for the proxies to be created, takes time, hope it'll speed the process up in the long run though.

[@ChristopherPhillipsDev]

Had to watch this through again to see if I missed something. I can't seem to figure out what went wrong. Creating proxies and all was fine. But Matt, when you click on your toggle proxy view at 2:08, there isn't any change in what resolution your video shows. The only change you see visually is the watermark. And for that, I'm confused. My original media is 1080p whereas my proxy is of course the 720p you suggested. And when I click on my toggle proxy view button, there is an obvious difference in resolutions and appearance. Sadly I didn't notice this until after I edited the entire video and exported only to see that because I was altering the zoom on the proxy video, it got hugely magnified in the original media. Where did I go wrong? Why doesn't your view in the window change when you're clicking toggle proxies? I'm assuming you've got encoded files there in 720 but your originals are from 4k. You should definitely see a difference like I do. But why don't you?

[@joshmccabe7187]

I have this issue too . Did you figure it out? It may be on the frame size selection...

So, I'm curious now that ProRes and all it's subformats, 422, 4444, LT, and Proxy are available on Premiere for Windows, would you recommend any of these instead of Cineform?

[@DrBrunoDzogovic]

This has been so far a common practice, to firstly transcode a MagicYUV lossless or Utvideo or any other beefy format into Prores and then edit. What is explained in this video, the workflow is more time-saving, as you don't need to go twice over the encoding process in order to make a video editable in Premiere. GoPro Cineform is still better traversable format than Prores (depends on your machine and storage. If you use Nvme storage, you won't have any issue editing directly from H.264 even).

[@I.AM.STANLEY]

Hey matt thanks for the video and preset. I was wondering if it was possible to make another preset in which the frame rate was higher. i.e one at 60fps and the interpret the proxy file to 24 in Pr to skip that long wait?

I'm editing big band videos with 17 videos. So now I can create proxy files for all the videos and use them for the editing process? That's fantastic, thanks Matt.

[@ClandeWhiskeros]

Hey Matt! I've seen this tutorial many times and never got around to say> THANK YOU! It sucks I only have a laptop, which when creating proxys I get up of my chair, go out for a smoke, grab some coffee, bake a cake, then, maybe, it's over. But overall, working with proxys is FANTASTIC! THANK YOU!

[@pricelessproductions1769]

My question is this, I record all my drone clips at 60fps and I always throw them on a 23.976 timeline and never interpret them because I want them to play in normal speed. I just like being able to have the ability to slow down my clip if I want to in post if some of my movements are jittery etc I can slow down the portion that wasn't jittery or jerky and have a good few second parallax etc. However when I interpret footage to make proxies for my timeline to 23.976 and then go to my proxy and speed duration and boost it to 250% to bring it back to it's original frame rate it doesn't add up to the original clip at all what so ever. So it's basically impossible for me to edit with proxies because I can't speed up my proxy or slow down my proxy and keep it on par with the original file. How do I go about fixing this?

[@AlbertoPiedrolaAPSfilms]

Priceless Productions I had the same issue. What I did was leaving the settings as “original frame rate” when I’m are creating the new preset at Encoder, rather than setting it at 23,973 as he did. That way all proxies match frame rate with the original file. It worked perfectly for me. Hope this works for you too :)

[@volvovalor8051]

Oi!

[@playdoob]

are 360p proxies still usable for gaming footage?

[@Robbiebrito]

here brother kkkkk

[@Craqve]

@@playdoob why not

[@SyarifHidayatullahyoutube]

Why did I only find your video in 2021? where have i been all this time ? thank you matt, you saved my life

[@Titusultra]

I cannot thank you enough for making this video!!! You did an incredible job of walking through the process step by step. I have been editing several clips of 4k files and using mapping effects with four different pieces of footage and my gosh was it clunky! But not anymore haha! I was even able to get an adobe watermark down in the right hand corner! Again thank you so much for making such and amazing video explaining how to create proxy's. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

"how to grow a beard super fast" is what I saw on in the timeline.

[@jordansarkisian]

I don't get it using proxies is pretty standard for having workable editing files (especially on a laptop) Maybe it's cuz I've always used FCPX, is this not something Premiere Pro people do? Doesn't take too long, usually I take a whizz and grab a drink and they're done by the time I get back.

[@whoismatt]

Premiere has had proxy capabilities for several years, but it’s a completely optional feature, not turned on by default.

Jordan Sarkisian lol

[@darviniusb]

Premiere was using proxyes for years, recoding all footage in an editting codec, now for last few years tehy start with gpu acceleration claming that is no need for proxes anymore and so on ( buuulllshit) and stoped using them, but now finally they are back, with full options. Took them some years but finally are on the right track.

[@nickterbrack136]

It also depends on project sizes. I edit commercials, so 1080 video doesn't really need it, but 4K is next level computing power.

[@leonbanks2538]

Can u explain to me how you get your files to covert to proxies so fast? I’m editing a short film with Sony A7sII/ files and it’s taking so long to convert like 10 files

[@MichaelCoxRN]

You present very well, clear, concise, to the point, and with an easy cadence. If this works you'll be my hero!

[@cutthecakefilmsuk9268]

You the man! Thank you for doing what you do. Your explanation of interpreting the footage via modify has sorted us right out. I'd never in a million years figured that out, so a million thanks.

[@CynthiaLepage]

Thank You so much ! I like how you explain how and mostly why you choose or click certain options/buttons ! We are not just following your step we understand why we do them. Your way of explaining things is perfect !

[@robertfuste]

Another great tutorial - have come to expect high quality, right speed (not too fast to miss details, not too slow to drag out), and a positive delivery - thank you!

[@sentientbeans]

You're so good at explaining the steps and kept this at a good pace with how engaging it is! Thank you!

[@philippemichelphotography]

THis is the best how to Proxy video, I've watched and have now successfully created different frame rate proxies all while watching lol, thanks Matt

[@Ramounskee]

BRO! I HAVE A GAMING LAPTOP AND I THOUGHT I WAS HOPELESS AND NEEDED A DESKTOP TO EDIT FASTER! BROOOOOOO! YOU CHANGED MY CONTENT CREATION WORK FLOW! YOU HAVE MY UNDYING GRATITUDE! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Video editing will never be the same for me after your tutorial! YOU DESERVE 100M SUBS

[@npk_video481]

Hi Matt, Thanks for the great tutorial on Proxies. Just one note that I find to work better: Instead of interpreting your footage, rather use the “Speed/Duration” option to batch process your raw files and make them all play slower. That effectively gets around the issue of asynchronous proxy files and original files! No explicit interpretation of the proxy file frame rate required.

[@Its_Jeff]

That would work too! One problem is that some effects you can't apply to clip that are slowed down. So it's always better to interpreting your footage :)

[@StrangerAbroad]

This was an absolute life-saver and helped me deliver a product on-time to a client when I ran into issues. Thank you so much!

[@ChaosclownM]

Thanks so much man! Even after 4 year this helped me to encode my vertical footage without weird transformations which I get from premier proxy presets. Cheers man! You’re a legend ❤️‍🔥

[@matthewmcginnity5310]

Ok, I'm like 2 years late to this video, but this is awesome! Thank you for making this and going step by step in a quick but clear method. This is going to save me so much time.

[@LaurenceTFraser]

Thanks, I had to do a bunch of proxies to help a friend and your tutorial made it crystal clear!

[@wovenlightfilms]

Thanks for this video, watched it a quite a few times... everytime i need a reminder on how i made proxy files. QUESTION----> If i interpret footage....when I am editing and I would like to change the speed of that footage, will it not sync with the proxy file. Whats the best way to deal with that situation, I want the flexibility to slow down or speed up footage of the proxy as I am editing. THANKS!

[@MartinPurvis]

Just wanted to come back and leave a comment, this saved me so much time and your tutorial was easy as hell to follow. Thanks Matt!

[@DavidLindgren89]

You are a legend, I just wanted you to know that! Thanks for creating this video and explaining it so well Matt! 🙏

[@SteveDab317]

I usually don't sign up for subscriptions, but you added such tremendous value during this video, it's the least I could do! btw- I used both methods. Walking through it was nice and greatly appreciated, but the 2nd time I just used your preset and was ready to edit in less than 5 minutes :) Thanks for both options

[@marimarherrerias2978]

Comming back to this video every time I’m in a new computer (or friend’s computer). Thaaaanks Matt!!!

[@whoismatt]

😂👍

[@jorgschiele7314]

Hi Matt, thank you so much for this tutorial! It drove me crazy to make Proxys from my Sony FX6 mxf Files. What I now found out: Use ProRes (ok, its implemented since Premiere?) / separate the audio channels to 4x Mono in your proxy settings / if you make proxies out of Premiere delink them and link them again (because with the first linked you get wrong Audio-Channels when you switch between 4K and Proxy edting) This is my experience I made with Premiere 22 and 23 / Windows 10. (but other editors told me also about the "audio channel problem") Best regards from Germany - I like your tutorials!
