Exporting a proxy in the background.

The proxy creation process begins with exporting clips. The export window overlaps the project and requires a long wait for the end of the process.
The idea is to make this process a background process without interrupting work.

Huh ... while Shebbe has a very accurate reply (as always) ... Proxies created by Premiere's "create Proxies" command are supposed to be sent to Me to process in the background, while you work.

 

That isn't happening for you on your rig?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

The fact that Premiere and Media Encoder needs to extensively pre-process/analyze every single file in it's queue is the real problem here. This shouldn't take that long imo. Reading out the metadata could both be a ton faster and also partially moved over to only load once custom settings are opened in the case of AME. If you're only selecting a preset then just process them straight away. 

I think Premier & AME can improve by a lot on this front. I can load media of 5 cards and start the proxy process in Resolve faster than Premiere/AME takes to pre-process a single card.
