Hi. I've been using Compressor to make proxies - becasue it's faster than media encoder on my iMac - however recently premiere has stopped recognisong the files. Has anyone had a similar issue?

I've attached file details. I suspect it relates to comrpessor updating to include some weird mac format (apcs) as default whihc other programmes can't recognise yet.

This might work:  try relinking the clips to the "proxies"  rather than attaching the proxies.  Then when you're ready to finish, relink to the camera original...  Of course, do a test with one or 2 clips to see if this works (relinking to the proxy and then back to the camera original).

Hi,

I have the same problem in AE, I received some ProRes Proxies done in Compressor and they are not importing (error 86::1).
Since they are 4tb of video, I'd like to avoid re-encoding everything, is there a workaround?

you might want to post this in the aftereffects forum...   but drop a file in to media info

https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download

and tell us the important stuff.  and what was the original format the proxies were made from?  and did the original format import into aftereffects without issue?
