Working with Proxy Clips

This topic contains information on the method used to create proxy clips and view them in the

Proxy Viewer.

In order to generate Proxy clips, and subsequently view them in the Proxy Viewer, the following

must be done:

• An H.264 Proxy Encode license must be activated on your server. This activates the Proxy

feature, and enables the Proxy Viewer.

• Once the H.264 Proxy Encode feature is activated on your server, you must create the proxy

clips in one of the following ways:

- (Automatic) Select the Proxy Enabled check box in the Record Templates page of the

AirSpeed 5000 Management Console. This automatically creates proxy clips for all

ingested clips. For more information, see the AirSpeed 5000 Administrator’s Guide.

- (Manual) Right-click on a clip in the database, and select Create Proxy. This creates a

proxy version of the hi-res clip. If there already is a proxy, this re-creates a proxy. For

more information on creating proxy clips this way, see “Manually Creating Proxy Clips”

on page 66.

The Proxy Viewer is only available when you are connected to an AirSpeed 5000 server. In

addition, the Remote Console application must be installed on a Windows 7 Operating System.

For more information, see the following topics:

• “Manually Creating Proxy Clips” on page 66

• “Viewing Proxy Clips” on page 67

• “Creating Subclips Using the Proxy Viewer” on page 68

• “Editing the In and Out Points of a Clip in the Proxy Viewer” on page 69

Manually Creating Proxy Clips

With the H.264 Proxy Encode License activated, you can create a proxy from any hi-res clip at

any time using the AirSpeed 5000 Remote Console.

This functionality is helpful in the following scenarios:

• You are just starting to create proxy versions of hi-res clips, and have old hi-res clips for

which you would like to create proxy versions

• You want to manually create proxies for only certain hi-res clips (not all ingested clips).
