Adobe Premiere Pro - proxy watermark in final export

Dear Adobe community,

When we  work with proxies, we mark the proxy clips with a "Proxy"-watermark, to differentiate between proxies and original footage. The problem is, we hat a final export and in one frame was the watermark "Proxy" visible. This is absolutely fatal! Does anyone know, how this could have happened?

Thank you!

Never seen this happen...  and I use proxies extensively.  but here are some things to try.

check to make sure your camera original is still "online" for that clip.  You might also move the proxy for that clip from it's location on the media drive...  and you might try smart rendering to see if that knocks some sense into premiere

and you might try replacing the proxy clip with a duplicate of the camera original (renaming it to match the proxy file name...)

Thanks, mgrenadier! We will try these suggestions the next time we export the timeline.

Hello again, does anyone have an idea how to avoid this? It's crucial that Proxies are working as intended. Thanks!
