CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
Once a proxy has been created, it will be available in the bin instead of
the original high-resolution clip. Nevertheless, the bin clip and all its
representations in the timeline are still linked to its original material and
by turning the proxies on or off it is for you to decide whether the ma-
terial of the higher resolution is used or the proxies. Thus you can work
with the downconverted clips as usual in the timeline but when playing
out or finalizing you can switch back to the original material in high res-
olution.
Figure 2-5: Possible workflow when using proxy data
With this workflow you will be able to finish a conformed 4K project
with 2K proxies in real time by using color correction, zooming as well
as panning and/or other editing features. Once your job is done, the
DVS system can finalize (render) the whole project from the original 4K
material. Afterwards to check the rendered 4K master you may play it
out in real time provided your system is capable of a real-time handling
of 4K.
2.4.2 Working with Prerendered Data
Prerendering generates another kind of proxies, this time from clips and
operators added to the timeline that are not real-time capable. A prer-
endering means that the Edit Tool calculates the respective clips and op-
erators (effects) before a play-out takes place and stores the calculated
extra files (rendered images) in a location for temporary data on the
To recognize the downscaled data belonging to one project
easily it is recommended to store it project specific for each
project separately. For further information about this please re-
fer to section “Notes on Project Management” on page 2-14.
More information about the handling of proxies in the DVS
software can be found in section “Using Proxies” on
page 4-22.
