Question

Collect Files And Copy To New Location = Proxies!?

Hi all, the colour grader for a project I worked on recieved 2/3 of the project as proxy media. This was after going through the project manager's 'collect and copy' process for 2 sequences and reconnecting via xml. Done this many times with same grader, but this was a first. All I can see happening was that I did not turn the proxy toggle to 'off' before going through the process. 

 

Has anyone experienced this? Right now I am attempting to use Project manager again and I have toggled the proxy to 'off'. It seems to be working. I just find it strange that Premiere can make the distinction when you export a sequence through media encoder, but project manager doesn't.

    Update: after an hour (copy and collect is unbearably slow) the process started copying proxy files instead of the original media. I've deleted all the proxies in a second attempt. Such a tedious process.

    100% happening to me. It's creating hundreds of proxy files instead of JUST copying the source files. What the heck!
