Allow proxy generation for audio-only files

When working on large projects with tons of rushes, we often import entire folders that include both video clips and audio-only files (usually recorded separately on professional recorders).

Currently, when we bulk-create proxies for those folders, Premiere skips audio-only files, which makes sense from a technical standpoint, but it creates a problem down the line.

In collaborative workflows, we usually only share the proxies folder with offline editors to save time, space, and bandwidth. Since audio-only files don’t get proxied, they often go unnoticed and unshared, unless someone manually digs through the rushes folder and finds them.

I’d love to see an option to generate proxies for audio-only clips, even if it just copies or transcodes them to a lightweight format and stores them alongside the video proxies. That way, when passing the proxy folder to another editor, all essential media is there, including separate audio tracks.

It’s a small thing that could really help streamline multi-editor multi-system workflows.
