Honestly Matt as a fellow professional in the field I'd like to thank you for all your time and effort you have put into sharing your knowledge. I just upgraded to 2023 and you were my first search to help me with seeing what's new and in this case the best way to create proxies. Thanks so much

[@J1mmy]

Matt, you're a hero. I come to your channel at least 1-2 times a week and you've unknowingly become an essential part of my workflow. Thank you for your service sir.

[@jameskrick9101]

Literally perfect timing Matt! I just finished a wedding shoot last night and was scratching my head on how I was going to make proxies in 2022, especially with a lot of my footage in 30, 60, and 120fps! Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge 🙏🏼

Man I’ve been stressing my ass off having to edit choppy clips cause I was using cineform not realizing I can’t 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

I tried to create proxy files but it’s taking an hour for just one clip

[@KevinBurton]

@@hushkit2119 DId you get this figured out? Check resolution on proxy clip. Decrease by half or more if needed.

[@hushkit2119]

@@KevinBurton Just bought a Mac mini instead lol

[@lotus7films]

Something I started doing as of late is going straight to Media Encoder, adding the footage there, and creating the proxies INSIDE of Encoder. This way you skip the step of sending them to encoder, and simply need to attach proxies once they render. This also allows you to continue editing in Premiere.

[@CharlesAnthonyPhoto]

I'm new to proxies but how would you attach them after rendering?

[@IanSfirebirdflame]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and learned a lot. You included information for beginners (such as, shift + select multiple videos, or how to add the proxy switcher icon), but still present material that even advanced users may not have known. This is a hard balance to strike, and I think you did it very well. Thank you for this content, I look forward to more!

[@unknownman735]

Still useful nearly 2 years later. Timeless content. Thanks Matt

[@MJCGAMING]

Thank you Matt! Nearly a year later, this video is a real help. I appreciate ya!

[@Valhallan]

Damn, the proxy trick saved me thanks to your old vid from 5 yrs ago! just updated to Premiere Pro 2023 and I can't believe it's even smoother! you da best! Cheers!!

[@BajanLifestyles]

Awesome tutorial, Thank you

[@KevinBurton]

I gotta say. The "how-to" proxy tutorials across the Intertubes for Premiere were getting old and tired. Thank you Matt. This is a very nice refresh. The "Speed/Duration" method has always been my MO so thank you for getting it out to the masses. 🙏🏼

[@repomanband]

Awesome. I thought I was using proxies until I saw this and knew I did not create any proxies. Much better now!

[@michaelpoczynek]

Thanks, Matt. Very well done, informative and helpful! Have a great day! 😀

[@YelloPain]

Thanks!

[@ShawnCHeron]

I was doing some more tests and if you nest a clip and then add warp stabilizer you can enable proxies on stabilized clips. The clips seem to be stabilized perfectly and exactly the same on both the proxy and native file (no difference if there's a watermark). Try it out and see if you get the same result. I'm going to put it to the ultimate test with my next wedding video I'm starting to work on. So far, so FAST.

[@ShawnCHeron]

I've now tested proxies on 350 stabilized clips shot in 120fps and 60fps and it works perfectly. First adjust the clip speed based on Matt's cheat sheet, nest the clip that you want stabilized, add warp stabilizer to the clips you want, then enable/disable proxies as you would. I've stabilized literally thousands of clips over the years and this method stabilizes everything as intended by Adobe meanwhile applying it to both the native and proxy files seamlessly. This is a game changer for anyone who uses warp stabilizer on a lot of clips in their projects (and who don't want to wait to apply warp stabilizer until the end - there are benefits to not waiting). I can scrub through 350 stabilized clips in one timeline with zero lag and it's a thing of beauty. 10 years of filming/editing weddings and my workflow has never played back smoother.

[@reesmedia_]

Coming back to this as I have a couple days of footage that I need to re-proxy! Unfortunately Premiere has changed the Create Proxies Dialogue box so I'm piecing together what I need! This was such a huge help and I honestly felt capable of working out what I need in this project thanks to this and the practice I got months ago from this video! Currently doing custom with the resolution set to match my other proxies and my preset to ProRes Quicktime Proxy to hopefully match what you did here Matt! Not sure if this will help anyone going forward and I'm definitely up for some feedback if I could be doing this better! I'm still new to proxies but will be implementing them into my Team workflows very soon!

[@onlysublime]

I was looking for your proxies video and I guess you replaced it with this updated one! thanks! :D

[@AbbeyHowe]

SUPER HELPFUL THANK YOU 🙏🏼

[@brodie_hart_filmmaker]

I love you, Matt. So helpful. God bless you, young man. God bless you.

Dude, thank you!

[@StudioLaneCreations]

Thank you! Moving over from Final Cut Pro to Premiere Pro has been a slight headache with things like this.

[@aprilangeli6138]

Incredible video! literally answered every question I had and the cheat sheet is super helpful too. thank you :)

[@tonibetzner263]

I just started editing in premiere pro, and this was helpful. I forgot about creating proxies, and even my workhorse of a laptop couldn't handle the few videos I had. Going to try this tonight and I have subscribed. thank you

Thank you so much for this! Super helpful, timely, and very well explained!

[@ellistheeditor]

Really useful video, thank you Matt!

[@julianwatson4734]

great update.. i was wondering what happened since the interpret days thanks!

[@HarrisonFamilyValues]

This video is an amazing resource... Thanks for sharing this info

[@TomGlander]

This video was 6 months old when I came across it. Already outdated, but at the time you were stating the watcher's PP may be outdated... it's impossible to make a video on tech and not have it become almost immediately obsolete if you're using updated software. Ugh.

[@nayanka4187]

OMG yes VERY useful !! Thank you Matt !

[@stevess7777]

Amazing video! I thought an 11 minute long video would entail many steps that I'd have a nightmare following, but no, you've shown me that it's a very simple and easy process, and the extra tips and tricks were so helpful that I watched through the entire video!

[@sugarylab91]

You really help with your explanations

[@Raiyacorsiglia]

Thanks so much! You're the best Matt Johnson!

[@shawngormley6462]

When filming wedding I shoot everything in 60fps and slow some of it down and some of it I leave as is. What is the best flow when working with proxy’s? Slowing everting down and adjust the speed accordingly on the timeline?

[@konixtwenty8275]

Truly awesome video! You very clearly and concisely describe how to use proxy. I looked at some other videos which weren’t as clear as yours. Thank you very much. I really appreciate. You are a lifesaver.

[@ShmanTheMan]

wow.... just wow. such a wholesome learning video just what I needed. I cant believe I just now found you on my editing journey much love and thank you!

[@likemindscreative]

Late to the Proxy game, but better late than never. Big frustration cutting 4k footage on my Mac trash can. Even had issues using a 2019 Mac Pro Tower. This should help. I've always enjoyed your channel. Thanks!

[@flickdawg]

New to Premiere..love this video and the cheat sheet man! really easy to understand and super helpful.

[@rebekanekolova1930]

Can you please explain how its possible Premiere is STILL lagging after proxies? It ran smoothly for 10 minutes, now it's lagging and occasionally crashing saying a "serious error has occurred"

Matt my premiere not showing add watermark option ,my premiere is 2022???? Why?

Thank you, Matt. This was very helpful to me. All the best! 😺

[@Kauczuk]

Hey Matt! Thanks for always being able to find answers for editing questions I have 😂 I was wondering why Media Encoder wouldn't let me interpret footage. Now it makes perfect sense. However, I was wondering what to do if I wanted to create proxies for slow-motion footage that I want to speed ramp. In the past, I wasn't able to both use the speed/duration menu and keyframing the speed manually. Unless, I'm missing something? Thanks!

[@beautifulmessmedia3521]

Did you ever find a solution here ? I’m facing the same situation

[@meganglovermedia1188]

matt you're the best!! I was searching for this all morning and then I got your email just as I was reading the adobe forum on the interpret footage issue.. thank u x100

[@abdelrahmanbeyrouti9721]

Dear Matt, I really enjoy watching your videos and find them very very useful, but I have an issue when using proxy files in adobe premiere, the problem appears when I shoot videos vertically, and while editing with proxy, the videos stretch in a way that changes the preview of the video, I did not face this problem when I shoot horizontal way.

[@isaacflores4758]

Did you find a solution? I am also having the same issue.

[@treesandbamboo]

Thank you, Matt!!!

[@frederiksenfilm]

You are a God Send Matt. This proxy - slo-mo business has been the bane of my existence. Thank you for sharing this with other filmmakers!

[@DiegoA.LondoñoG]

Amazing Video Bro... I love your explanation. Will try and let you know how it goes.

[@pwl4576]

There is an Adobe support thread covering the Media Encoder issue of suddenly not being able to interpret footage. They've said it was a total accident in the update and they're not sure how it happened. Apparently they're working on fixing it, but they've been aware of the problem for two months now. It's pretty embarrassing that a self-styled professional product is managed like this, but there we are. In the meantime, thanks for the workaround tip Matt!

[@HouseAndLotFinderph]

Thank u man , over the years I can now edit fast !! one sub for ya !

[@guzz3176]

This was a really helpful video! Great explanations, nice and simple and easy for anybody to understand! Thank you so much

[@jimvh7557]

Great solution for the interpret footage flaw in Media Encoder. Seems like a faster workflow than the previous one as well by the way. Nice you mentioned the warp issue cause this can be a real pain, I know that from experience when not yet being aware of it. Proxies are still very handy when working with 10 bit H265 footage, even on my maxed out mbpro from 2019, so great video Matt!

[@JamesDark]

life saver thanks Matt🙏💪

it's been Really helpful

Thank you for this🎉🎉

[@ivanvargas5295]

What if i already interpreted my footage. Would that effect it?

[@clickoclockproduction8169]

Just created proxies with my 50p preset, interpreted footage to 25p for slomo and nothing is out of sync. I guess they've updated that as well

[@jaecuervoson]

Whoa!! I gotta try this!!

[@terencebuan]

Thank you for this bro big help for me 🔥🔥 godbless

[@fromtheiceberg]

Brilliant! You just made my day ! 😂

[@Steviee8]

Funny I just watched your 2018 video and tried creating injest and presets using the Cineform preset and I was like crap, I don't have that option. Then found this new video. Thank you.

[@joenjiki5004]

Honestly, this tutorial is atomic!!!
