Using Smart Proxy for a faster, smoother editing
experience
The main purpose of Smart Proxy is to provide a more fluid editing and
previewing experience when working with large, high resolution video
files.
Smart Proxy creates lower resolution working copies of larger source
files. These smaller files are called “proxy” files. Using proxy files speeds
up editing of high resolution projects (for example, projects that have
HDV and AVCHD source files).
Proxy files are source-dependent rather than project-dependent. In
other words, proxy files can be shared among different projects.
When you render a video project, the original, high-quality video
source files are used.
You can use the Smart Proxy Manager to enable or disable Smart
Proxy
, change the default resolution threshold that enables Smart
Proxy
, and access the Smart Proxy File Manager and Smart Proxy
Queue Manager
to manage existing and future proxy files.
Smart Proxy can be set and adjusted in the VideoStudio workspaces or
in the Multi-Camera Editor.
To enable or disable Smart Proxy
• Click the Settings menu or button (Multi-Camera Editor) >
Smart Proxy Manager > Enable Smart Proxy.
Note: The Smart Proxy feature is enabled by default if the
computer’s hardware can support the feature.
