Once the render operations are finished, their entries will disappear
from the list of the Jobs tab. Afterwards you can begin to work with
the proxies. They will be already activated in the bin and ready for use.
Activating or Deactivating Proxies
The created proxies substitute the original high-resolution material on
the storage to make the environment of the DVS system real-time ca-
pable. By activating or deactivating proxies their usage instead of the
original material can be determined: When a proxy is activated, the bin
clip and all its representations in the timeline will show you the down-
converted material; when it is deactivated, the original high-resolution
material is used in the Edit Tool.
To activate or deactivate proxies perform the following:
y In the contents area of the bin select the clips that provide a proxy
(see section “Selecting Clips” on page 4-18).
y Next call up the context menu on one of the selected clips and
choose the menu option Activate proxy.
If this menu option shows a cross in front after it was clicked, the prox-
ies are activated and will be used for the selected clips. The selected bin
clips are now configured to the proxies as their source and the proper-
ties of the clips will detail this accordingly.
In case the menu option does not show the cross in front, the proxies
of the selected clips are deactivated. Then the original materials will be
used for the respective bin clips and their representations in the time-
line. The properties of the clips will detail this accordingly.
After a proxy generation save your project file. If an already
saved project file is not saved again after creating proxies, the
proxy files will not be recognized by the Edit Tool when the
project file is loaded once more: Neither will they be used for
the project nor can they be deleted via the software. They
have to be deleted manually (as described in section “Clean-
ing Temporary Data Manually” on page A-21).
For further information about the Jobs tab see section “Jobs”
on page 4-33.
You can also use the menu options Activate all proxies or
Deactivate all proxies on the Bin menu to activate or deac-
tivate all proxies in the bin in one step (see section “Activate all
proxies” on page 9-22 and section “Deactivate all proxies” on
page 9-23).
