Proxy's play in preview not in playback monitor off timeline?

Anyone have an anser here:

I have created and linked all the proxy's and confirmed.

In the preview monitor I can toggle between original and proxy. But in the playback monitor, with the same exact clips which show a proxy option in preview I can't seem to playback the proxy, I can click the toggle and nothing happens in teh playback montior(my proxy's have a watermark).

As well If I click proxy in playback, oddly it toggles in the preview monitor .

To be fair I started playing with this edit with larger proxy's, then I recreated the Proxy's to a smaller version and dleted the originial proxys and linked up the new ones a few cuts into the edit... would that matter?

Thanks

Jimmy

honestly, I think creating proxies with different pixel dimensions from the originals is dangerous. Not sure, but as long as my proxies play fine in the timeline, I feel it's safer particularly if I'm going to rescaling and repositioning. I use proresproxy as the codec and I had a 4 camera shoot some 2 or 3 cameras were 4k and the sequence was 1080 and I was able to do a "live" switch without issues. I've got an older machine (macpro running high sierra) and PP 2019 with either internal sata drives or external USB3 drives. If and when I have a more complicated job that's not playing back smoothly with my workflow, I'll test a proxy workflow reducing the pixel dimensions. I'm in the process of transitioning to a much more powerful windows machine...

thanks but that has nothing to do with my question.

I was suggesting that the difference in pixel dimensions between your camera original and your proxies might be the problem... You might try creating a proxy with matching pixel dimensions and see if that solves your problem...
