Proxy Workflow
“Editing with lightweight low-resolution copies of footage while the final render uses the original high-resolution files.”
Plain-English Overview
A proxy workflow creates small, easy-to-edit copies of large 4K files, so editing runs smoothly on any computer. At export, the original footage takes over for full-quality final renders.
On-Set & Post-Production Reality
Large 4K camera files can strain editing machines. Transcoding proxies keeps timeline scrubbing fast; a one-click conform reconnects original media automatically before color and delivery.
Business & Client Impact
Keeps edit turnaround fast even with high-resolution camera files, letting delivery deadlines be met without sacrificing 4K master quality.
Key Takeaways for Buyers & Marketers
- Low-res copies make editing fast on any machine
- Original footage is reconnected automatically at final render
- Delivers 4K masters without editing-performance trade-offs
