Hallo!

I LOVE the new Proxy workflow - its awesome!

I have an issue - I have a hard drive with 20TB of 4k media. I want to create a custom preset proxy ingest setting so I can keep the relevant aspect ratio, but there is no option that I can find to create proxies WITHOUT copying the original files over - is there a way to do this. I don't have enough space to double my media.

Thanks so much!

Correct answer Trent Happel

When you create the Ingest preset in Adobe Media Encoder > Ingest Preset Settings > Transfer section, only check the checkbox for Transcode files to Destination (do Not check the checkbox for Copy files to Destination). This preset will now only transcode the Proxy file and will not copy the original/Full Res files. Hope this helps.
