I've been working with Premiere and proxies for a while and never even knew about some of these issues, I'm glad I was able to find a solution to problems I haven't even encountered yet, saving me from hours of trying to find a solution in the future. Amazing tutorial, super clear and concise, just the way it should be! Thank you!
Listened to a different channel on proxies, did everything he said and still had major chop issues - thought my computer was f**ked. Found your video and it fixed everything for me. Specifically the "based on source" boxes, after checking those instead of custom settings, everything is so much quicker for me. Thanks dude!
Apparently I have already watched this video and liked it in the past so I raise my glass and say thank you for saving me some time yet again. Every now and then I need a refresher on proxies it seems. Salute.
Nice! The absolute easiest editing program for generating proxies is Corel VideoStudio, which makes it just a couple clicks to generate and attach proxies. You really don't have to know anything about the proxies, except to find the menus where you make those clicks. Too bad Corel VideoStudio is otherwise so unstable and not nearly as easy as Premiere in many other ways. This method of generating proxies in Premiere comes close to the simplicity of VideoStudio, and your explanation was excellent -- I found all of it interesting. Thanks for taking the time!
Hey Chris, I've been following the guide on the old video and am still amased by how simple you made it. So I was just coming back to thank you once more for sharing this.
Hi me again. Very well done! Nice. You cut down on the Go Ahead. There is a 12 step program for that. LOL. Kidding you. Very well done. Informative! Love it. You really dove into the heart of the matter and explained everything for the very beginner to the intermediate like myself. I'm sure there are Pr Monsters out there that can learn here. Definitely made the complex to simple. Mark of a great instructor.
Chris... dude you rule! Watched both of your videos: How to PROPERLY Create Proxies and this one, and both are brilliant and super helpful. I agree with you big time concerning the Watermark, I'm still going to configure my own proxies/ingests especially since thanks to you I know how to do it "properly". Thank you very much!
hey thanks for making this video it really helped - also, I used to cube so I was pretty surprised seeing your name again, it really brought back some memories haha
Thank you for the proxy tips! Very thorough explanation. I have a ton of full resolution .mov files for a longer video and this will be a big help in edit on my older Mac.
Hey, great tutorial! This really helped. FYI, you can add timestamps in the description and they'll show up on the timeline, it'll help people find sections and looks pretty cool. Keep up the great work from Hong Kong!
Looking for solutions to working faster in premiere and you explanation really killed it. I'm all the way in Sierra Leone and want to extend a big thank you from my team. big up
"Never import the proxies into the project" Well, I really wish I'd heard that part before I started. I jsut fnished editing proy files and spent hours researching to figure out how to export. Now I have to make notes of my edit and start over. Damn!
Chris, when i am clicking "Create Proxy" on the clip and after choosing the location, the Media encoder doesn't automatically open the file for rendering. The Encoder opens but the clip is not on the queue. What do i do wrong?
Great video as always Chris! It was great to see Adobe bring in their 'smart' proxies, but do you know why attempting to create proxies using Adobe's Low Res preset, for iPhone footage shot in portrait, it's warping the output file? (Original format 720x1280, HEVC). I've got about 30 tracks playing together, as I'm editing together a choir, and just need lighter ProRes formats so my system doesn't keep juddering. Thanks.
Great video yet again! Thanks for doing these! I really want your PREMIERE GURU course... is there any chance you're putting it on discount for black friday?
Hey Chris, this is the most amazing video I saw on this topic, I really loved it! Just have one question ; when I finish my edits and send a XML from my seq to Davinci Resolve, will be there any issue in Davince with this XML ? Thanks a lot!!!
This video is so informative coming from an audio background. Only thing I would say is that AUDIO IS SUPERIOR IN FILM. Good/ Bad audio literally makes or breaks the whole viewing experience. But thanks for explaining this in-depth
Hi Chris! I appreciate the video. Subscribed, great information. I have an issue that's not come across on the video. I made proxies for footage that I shot for a music video and somehow, only 50% of them attach, the other ones are showing Offline and when I go to attach them, they show the generic MP4 or .MOV icon. The footage is the same frame rate, and from the same day, any idea why some of my footage refuses to create and/or attach? I have looked everywhere to answer this question and I cannot and it's killing me. Thanks so much ahead of time!
This video solved my number 1 source of frustration. I was driving myself nuts and wondering why my exported video didn't match my edit. Stopped interpreting footage, and voila, it all lines up. Same with warp stablizer. Thanks.
Amazing video. I'm trying to find out if I should choose Prores or Cineform proxies though... Cineform is 3x larger the file but seems to be smoother to edit with on forums, yet I think Prores would do the trick just fine. I'm about to edit 6 hours of footage so i'd really like to know which one you should choose so i wont create the wrong proxies. (I'm preferring towards Prores though, because I don't have infinite storage...)
What happens if you created your proxies already in premiere pro... And then replaced the footage to an after effects composition after? Would you still need to create new proxies for after effects for the same footage? Even if you made one already from premiere pro?
Hey Chris, so I, unfortunately, edited a 10min video with proxies due to some unclear communication with a client as well as knowing nothing about proxies... do you have a video or source as to the very difficult way to link the proxies to the original media?? Wish I found this video sooner as it would of saved me a TON of headaches...
Hey bro do you know why my proxy clips are like, a lot brighter than the original? I can't find the answer anywhere. I'm selecting prores and have tried 2 other tutorials but same thing happens.
I noticed you chose ProRes Low Resolution Proxy, but is there a reason why that specific one? Is that the same as putting the playback quality down to 1/8? I thought proxies would allow me to be able to see close to original quality while maintaining smooth playback. If I choose a higher quality proxy will my computer not be able to handle it, or is it worth it? And why QuickTime and ProRes? Is there something about them that makes it work better? (I'm on PC btw) Thanks for this video though, it's very helpful. I was just wondering about those specific questions.
You choose ProRes because it’s a codec designed to edit smoothly. Most people are editing H.264 which is very compressed and hard on the computer. ProRes doesn’t have this issue. You can certainly pick a higher quality, but the idea of proxies is that you can edit something small and low resolution and toggle back to the full resolution anytime you want. So if you were going to just do full resolution ProRes proxies (that is also called transcoding) then there wouldn’t really be a need to link them as proxies. You could just transcode to ProRes and edit with those files instead of the original. So ultimately it depends on how you want to edit.
@@ChrisOlson2 thanks for the reply! I tried using proxies on gopro footage on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 13.1.5 and these options weren't available. I chose the ProRes GoPro option since it seemed appropriate for my GoPro footage and it totally messed up my program. All of a sudden the program wouldn't load properly (some elements being blank instead of having information on those sections like the toolbar, effects panel, etc.) and the timeline bar wasn't showing up, etc. It was chopper than normal, idk what I did wrong lol.
This is a follow up video to my original proxy video. Since Premiere 14.3.2 Adobe has made creating proxies much easier and for most of you, this will be the tutorial you want to follow.

Hello Chris ! I have a question regarding that last section: So I want to use the 4K footage to zoom in and reframe, and my final exports are always 1080p. If I import my 4k natives, create 1080p proxies and leave them on, create a 1920x1080 timeline and add the footage, will they match the HD resolution ? or will they be 4K res and i would have to manually scale them down to 50% ? Thank you so much for this video.
My English is not really good. I'm having that issue about the media audio with my drone videos, sorry but I didn't even understand what is that "resolve"proxy when you said if we use it. Theres any other option? You said to make sure the audio channels match the original footage the proxies, but like you said, my drone doesn't has audio, so what I should do, sorry, maybe is simple and my poor English is not helping me. Thanks
Hey Chris thanks for the video but it's missing the information that I imagine a lot of people will be looking for which is the proxy workflow for remote editing. i.e. I want to send my project to someone to be edited with proxies and then have the working file sent back to me, I reconnect all the high resolution files and export it. Any tips?
Hey thank you for the tutorial and going through this troubleshooting. As a documentary filmmaker shooting handheld most of the time, I use warp stabilize on many clips on the timeline. So if you think of a 30 minutes timeline it eventually becomes unplayable even with proxies (because of the stabilize, in combination with color correction and the rest of the effects). The thing is that I need to preview the edit, even at the last stage to check out if the stabilize looks ok (if it looks wobbly I'd rather use another part of the clip or even toggle it off), but you arrive at a point where it is really impossible to playback the timeline, and this is with proxies.... It is really a nightmare, especially if you need to use parts of this finished timeline in another timeline. Is there any viable solution/workaround to this problem, or is the only solution to move away from premiere pro?
I need help! This is the 3rd video I've seen that says, "Premiere will ALWAYS export the originals". I have version 14.9.0, I made proxies and added a proxy LOGO to them. I created a sequence with the Proxy videos, did my editing, and now when I export they always export with the logo attached. Even when the "use proxies" option is not clicked, and even though all videos are "online." What am I doing wrong?
It sounds like you are importing the proxy files into Premiere and editing with them. You aren’t supposed to do this. You create the files, and then use the “proxy” button to toggle them on and off. If you import them into the project and edit them, premiere WILL export those files.
@@ChrisOlson2 Oh man, I think you're right. Could you assist once more? I created proxies, they are in my Media Browser next to my originals. I want to do Multicam. When I highlight them all the option for "Create Multicam Source Sequence" is grey out. Why?
I am able to create the proxies. When I scrub (the timeline) it is smooth, but when I playback it lags - seriously lags like moves one frame per second. what could be the problem I have tried to create different types of proxies. Somebody help please. Am using Premiere version 14.0.3
Very helpful, thank you. Is it possible to select multiple footage clips and 'queue' the proxy creation, or do I need to do it one at a time? Thanks for any help.
Man wish I'd seen this sooner.. I imported the proxies... and edited them into clips. Will I need to delete them and re-edit all the clips I've made or can I reattach the original footage then create new proxies? thanks for your hard work! you videos are very helpful
one thing I've noticed with some of my proxies is that if the camera happened to film in portrait orientation (I was filming looking straight down), the proxies come out all squashed across one dimension. Is there a quick workaround to rotate all of my footage before creating the proxies in Premiere Pro? Thanks
That's because the proxy dimensions you are exporting are intended for 16x9 and not 9x16. The only easy way I can think of is: 1. Just make sure your videos aren't ever vertical. 2. Import your footage, rotate it, and then export it and start editing.
Hello! Thank you for this video it is very useful. I have a question : I am working with an editing team abroad where I am sending them the proxies to work on the video faster. then the plan is for them to send me back the premiere pro sequence so I will relink it to the original files. Since they will never have the original files. How do I make sure when receiving the edit sequence back It can smoothly reconnect to the raw files? Thank you!
Have them send you the project file. Open it, and then select all the footage and then click “re link full resolution media” and then tell Premiere where the high res footage is stored. Just a note, I have not personally tested this workflow since I don’t have any remote editors, but generally speaking this should be what you need.
@@ChrisOlson2 Sorry wasn't clear enough - at the start you showed your proxy files with watermarks on them ... but didn't show HOW to add that watermark in this video - BUT - i found a video you did 9 months ago which does show how to do it. Was wondering if that is up to date enough with the latest version of how proxy files work ?
@@matt.pereirathey are both methods that work the same. This video was mostly created to show people that it is easier to make proxies than it used to be. You can make them either way and it’s fine.
thanks man. i made a proxy out of 100fps to a 25fps timeline . the proxy file was not matching with the original file on playback cos it was based on the original file 100fps just changed to 25. in media encorder and it has worked
Whenever I create proxies in Premiere pro, i always lose the timecodes. Premiere gives me comepletely different ones to their original. One camera will start the day at around 7am/ the other at 11am but both cams begun shooting at the same time. What am I doing wrong?
How do you edit the already started project with the newly made proxies? I have it all attached as follows but when I got to continue everything is still lagging even tho I'm toggling. pls help! Thank you- struggling editor
Hi Chris, I currently using the latest Premiere Pro on Windows 10. Trying to detach proxy from original file but I don't have the "detach proxies" option. Can you shed some light on why that might be and how I might be able to detach proxies without it. Thanks. BTW your video was very helpful.
Quick question, do I always make proxies in media encoder? Just switched over from fcpx and I still a little confused with proxies, like media encoder opens and saves the proxies to a folder then are they auto linked?
Correct. Premiere always uses media encoder to create the proxies. Then they make a connection to your footage in Premiere. You just need to make sure to toggle the proxy button in Premiere to enable/disable the proxies
Trying to use proxies for the first time since I'm having problems with my 10bit 4k a7s III footage. I have the latest Premiere pro update. I added the proxies icon but i don't see the proxy logo on my footage like in your video.
Is there a proficient way to cut through all your longer 4K videos and get them down to just the clips you want so when you make the proxies it’s way faster? Or do you just make all the proxies right away then do all the cutting?
@@ChrisOlson2 yeah figured haha oh well... it’s a question of whether you want to pull your hair out trying to scroll through the 4K footage or just wait however long the proxies take and have a smooth workflow 🤷🏻♂️
@@ChrisOlson2 thanks for touching on the interpret footage subject. It’s still a fine option for slowing down footage as long as you don’t need a proxy for that particular clip correct?
@@bazzarcreation4557 I still don’t recommend it. While it can work fine for certain workflows, there are a lot of scenarios where it breaks badly. So I tell people it isn’t worth it to risk.
This is the best video I ever seen on this matter. Actually I didn´t realized proxies didn´t work with warp stabilizer on until now.
José Agustín Rangel Rodríguez glad you hear it! :)

Fantastic, thank you so much for your help. Game changer for me.
I am able to create the proxies. When I scrub (the timeline) it is smooth, but when I playback it lags - seriously lags like moves one frame per second. what could be the problem I have tried to create different types of proxies. Somebody help please. Am using Premiere version 14.0.3
Very helpful, thank you. Is it possible to select multiple footage clips and 'queue' the proxy creation, or do I need to do it one at a time? Thanks for any help.
Nope! You can highlight as many as you want and queue them
Please keep crushing it
Great tutorial. Can you make one on creating a proxy preset, please?
I do have one on my channel :) it’s my original proxy video.
@@ChrisOlson2 You have several vids on proxies. Is it possible for you to give me a link to it?
@@RoyHessey ruclips.net/video/fxjHFl3_BcM/видео.html
Man wish I'd seen this sooner.. I imported the proxies... and edited them into clips. Will I need to delete them and re-edit all the clips I've made or can I reattach the original footage then create new proxies? thanks for your hard work! you videos are very helpful
You should be able to relink your originals to your proxies. You might just have some scaling issues.
@@ChrisOlson2 Awesome 👌 thanks for the fast reply 👍
one thing I've noticed with some of my proxies is that if the camera happened to film in portrait orientation (I was filming looking straight down), the proxies come out all squashed across one dimension. Is there a quick workaround to rotate all of my footage before creating the proxies in Premiere Pro? Thanks
That's because the proxy dimensions you are exporting are intended for 16x9 and not 9x16.
The only easy way I can think of is:
1. Just make sure your videos aren't ever vertical.
2. Import your footage, rotate it, and then export it and start editing.
Also want to say great video thanks alot man!!
Great explanation. So how to atached PNG proxi image on premiere preset?
Omg u helped me thank you so much!!
Epic! thanks for sharing!
Realy i am very very i impresed your tutorial video - i like it thank u bro - u r genius
Hello! Thank you for this video it is very useful. I have a question : I am working with an editing team abroad where I am sending them the proxies to work on the video faster. then the plan is for them to send me back the premiere pro sequence so I will relink it to the original files. Since they will never have the original files. How do I make sure when receiving the edit sequence back It can smoothly reconnect to the raw files? Thank you!
Have them send you the project file. Open it, and then select all the footage and then click “re link full resolution media” and then tell Premiere where the high res footage is stored.
Just a note, I have not personally tested this workflow since I don’t have any remote editors, but generally speaking this should be what you need.
Greta video - but the thing i REALLY needed ... was how to get that watermark with the new version of Premiere Proxy files .... ?!
What do you mean?
@@ChrisOlson2 Sorry wasn't clear enough - at the start you showed your proxy files with watermarks on them ... but didn't show HOW to add that watermark in this video - BUT - i found a video you did 9 months ago which does show how to do it. Was wondering if that is up to date enough with the latest version of how proxy files work ?
@@matt.pereirathey are both methods that work the same. This video was mostly created to show people that it is easier to make proxies than it used to be. You can make them either way and it’s fine.
thanks man. i made a proxy out of 100fps to a 25fps timeline . the proxy file was not matching with the original file on playback cos it was based on the original file 100fps just changed to 25. in media encorder and it has worked
Whenever I create proxies in Premiere pro, i always lose the timecodes. Premiere gives me comepletely different ones to their original. One camera will start the day at around 7am/ the other at 11am but both cams begun shooting at the same time. What am I doing wrong?
How do you edit the already started project with the newly made proxies? I have it all attached as follows but when I got to continue everything is still lagging even tho I'm toggling. pls help! Thank you- struggling editor
Awesome thank you!
Hi Chris, I currently using the latest Premiere Pro on Windows 10. Trying to detach proxy from original file but I don't have the "detach proxies" option. Can you shed some light on why that might be and how I might be able to detach proxies without it. Thanks. BTW your video was very helpful.
You need to be on the latest version of Premiere (14.4.0)
After creating the proxy can I leave the RAW file on the portable hard drive and finish the editing with the proxy file on a laptop or MacBook?
Quick question, do I always make proxies in media encoder? Just switched over from fcpx and I still a little confused with proxies, like media encoder opens and saves the proxies to a folder then are they auto linked?
Correct. Premiere always uses media encoder to create the proxies. Then they make a connection to your footage in Premiere. You just need to make sure to toggle the proxy button in Premiere to enable/disable the proxies
Trying to use proxies for the first time since I'm having problems with my 10bit 4k a7s III footage. I have the latest Premiere pro update. I added the proxies icon but i don't see the proxy logo on my footage like in your video.
You have to follow my previous tutorial which teaches you how to add a watermark but is more work.
You could also watch my video about creating high frame rate proxies with Shutter Encoder which makes proxies wirh watermarks very easy.
Is there a proficient way to cut through all your longer 4K videos and get them down to just the clips you want so when you make the proxies it’s way faster? Or do you just make all the proxies right away then do all the cutting?
Unfortunately there is not an easy way to do that.
@@ChrisOlson2 yeah figured haha oh well... it’s a question of whether you want to pull your hair out trying to scroll through the 4K footage or just wait however long the proxies take and have a smooth workflow 🤷🏻♂️
@@ChrisOlson2 thanks for touching on the interpret footage subject. It’s still a fine option for slowing down footage as long as you don’t need a proxy for that particular clip correct?
@@bazzarcreation4557 I still don’t recommend it. While it can work fine for certain workflows, there are a lot of scenarios where it breaks badly. So I tell people it isn’t worth it to risk.
@@ChrisOlson2 you have a video on your recommended way?
SO do you create a PROXY for each video individually or can u create multiple proxies at once??
You select all the files you want to make proxies for and it will do all of them.
Great help
Hi i adobe media encoder Shoe Error: Faild. In pemiere pro shows failed rendering check media encoder for mor details. Do u know why plz?
for the life of me, i can't attach multiple proxies at once 🙃🙃🙃 do the proxies have to be in the same folder as the full rez folder ?
Hey man i have a problem when making a ingest proxy. Whenever i save the preset and name it and press ok, it say "preset error" unknown error. Why?
