Question

Optimised Proxy

  • January 21, 2019

In Rush-Windows there is a switch “use optimized files” or similar. When clicked, Rush generates optimized proxy data which is then used for cutting and syncing. These Proxy files are a bit smaller than the original for my Xavc HD files, they seem not to be generated when working with low res mp4 clips.

Question: When I finally render my video, does Rush still use these optimized proxy files? Is there a loss in quality? Are these optimized proxies synced to an Ipad - are they then optimized again for IOS and used for rendering?

    Hi JoachimS!

    When you export, Rush uses your original files and exports in higher quality than the proxies are made of. The whole thing about proxies is that they're used to cut and are traded out for the good stuff when it comes time to export.

    Thanks!

    Caroline,

    rush synchronises the optimised proxies with the cloud. So they land on the IPad for example. So, whenever I export from the IPad, it uses these optimised proxy and not the original. Does that do any harm to the quality?

    JoachimS,

    It should not be decreasing the quality of your video!
