Proxy ingest in existing project

I have a project that I've been working on, so there is already trimmed clips on the timeline.

Now I want to use the new ingest feature and make proxies of the existing and of future clips on the timeline. I have done everything they say in all the different tutorial videos on the subject but with no luck. I have turned "Create Proxies" in project settings on, I have made a preset in media encoder and imported it. I have created a folder for the proxy files, and I have turned on proxies in the Program monitor. But nothing happens...

When I open my progress window it is empty, and Premiere do not create proxies. Not even if I drag a new clip onto the timeline.

Have I missed something?

Thanks

It will do so if you have Ingest selected and configured and are dragging clips from the Media Browser to the timeline.

If you have already ingested clips, prior to turning on ingest, into your project and are dragging the clips from the Project Panel to the timeline, it will not do so.

You will need to manually tell Premiere to make the Proxies for those clips you have already ingested.

I just found out that if I copy all the clips in my sequence, make a new project with "create proxies" selected, create a new sequence, and paste all my clips to that new seq, it's opening up Media Encoder and do what I want it to do Then I just save the new Project and overwrite the old project and everything is fine. Then I don't have to spend a lot of time on finding all the different clips I used between all clips imported to the project and manually create proxies. Very easy, and it only takes 2 minutes.

Did you select the clips, and then once selected right click on the clips and choose Proxy > Create Proxies . . .

As I understand the new feature, and from what I have seen on youtube and so on, you can get Premiere Pro to create Proxies as soon as you drag clips to the timeline, and don't need to do anything manual like you suggest.

And it is that automatic functionality I'm looking to get to work.

But thanks for the feedback
