Question

Creating Small File Sized Proxies with Mixed Frame Rates

Hi,
I have been searching far and wide and I cannot find any good info on creating proxies for mixed frame rates. I would like to know if theres a better and more efficient method that I am currently using. 

I shoot weddings using a variety of frame rates and resolutions and I would like to know what would be the best way for me to create small sized proxies that I can send to a remote editor online.

Currently I am interpreting all of the footage to 23.976 in Premiere Pro and then right clicking all of the files and selecting create proxies in which it creates proxies in Media Encoder.

    Just from curiosity, what frame rates ... and why? Other than maybe some higher for slo-mo?

    Slow Motion is correct.

    Typically 4K 60fps and 1080p 120fps for B-Roll.

    Everything else is shot at 24fps.

    Thanks again for your response.

    One more question. What should I do with my 1080p 120 fps media?


    That gets a bit tricky. Even though it is not listed, QuickTime Apple ProRes or GoPro CineForm could work if your original media is exactly 120.00 fps (I tried a 120.00 fps file and the Proxy had matching 120.00 fps from these two Presets). If it is not exactly 120.00 fps, it may or may not match the frame rate. I tried a GoPro 119.88 fps file and the QuickTime Apple ProRes and GoPro CineForm Proxy presets created matching 119.88 fps Proxies.

    YMMV, so please run tests to see if those presets will work with your media.
