Good Day Everyone!  Hope this gets to the right location.  I have had premiere pro for some time and REALLY need help setting up these proxy files...

 

In previous edits I had gotten it to work but the media was all movie/widescreen footage.  Now, However I am editing some video that was taken by my Iphone 11 and I went to create a proxy for it but then when I did it and rendered it.  It completely squished the file.  So then I had a very narrow unappealing video.  I had to close not save and thankfully when I re-opened it, it went back to normal.

 

I have also went back to some recent youtube videos I watched to get the idea but since the update The whole landscaped has changed and I feel like I am relearning the program.  Which is frustrating and time consuming.

 

How can I create an Ingest proxy and have it save for what I need to do ?  I really need some guidance any help is appreciated.   Thanks and talk soon!

It sounds like you're just having aspect ratio problems. Like for instance HD video = 1920x1080

When you create your proxies, be sure to have the same aspect ratio. Divide both number by the same amount. Like if you wanted half size proxies (divide by 2) it would be

960x540. (x2)

640x360 (x3)

Take your clip size and divide the two numbers by the same amount.

For UHD 3840x2160

1280x720 (x3)
