How to Prevent Premiere of adding "Proxy" to the filenames, in ingest?

[herushingu]

Is there a way to prevent premiere to add "Proxy" to the name of the files transcoded/Proxy in ingest? 

I really want the files to have the exact name as the originals!!!

Thanks

Hi herushingu,

If you want them to function as proxies, they need to be named that way. Sorry.

Kevin

Kevin is correct. _Proxy is required for the linking functionality.

If you are open to an intermediate workflow, you could try using Ingest > Transcode.

But if i transcode then with the same name and then go to proxy settings an link it as "Reconnect full resolution media"

DO you think this will work? or it will be buggy?

Using the Proxy workflow correctly as outlined here:

has worked without issue for me.

Yes, you will run into link issues with same name Proxies.

What I am suggesting as a possible alternative is to use Ingest > Transcode for an intermediate workflow and not a Proxy workflow. e.g.: Enable Ingest and set to Transcode and select a Preset that works for you. Import all of your clips. Once the Ingest process is complete, all clips will be replaced with the transcoded clips. Once you are ready to go back to the originals, Make Offline for all the transcoded clips and then Link Media to your original clips.

Thanks that really helped my work flow.

One last question, is this proxy new feature also work with merged clips? When i export EDL or XML or OMF or AAF, it all link to full resolution to?

[Trent Happel]

Sorry, Merged Clips and interchange export options (EDL, OMF, AAF, etc.) are not currently supported for Proxy.

These limitations are noted towards the bottom of this help doc.

The Proxy workflow is not supported for interchange options such as Project Manager, Render and Replace, AAF, Final Cut Pro XML, EDL, OMF, and so on. You lose Proxy attachment for these.

But even if loosing the proxy attachment, doesn´t mean losing the link to the full resolution source right?

[Trent Happel]

As far as I know, the link to the full resolution media should not be lost.

Is there a way to make a transcode preset with appleProres 422 HQ with custom resolution settings? because every time e add my preset it says its not a transcode preset, and goes to the proxy option. And i dont want proxys. Just to transcode to prores in a custom resolution.

There is not. Ingest > Transcode currently only supports presets that are Match Source for all video parameters.

For what you are looking for, you could try batch Export Media. Create an Encoding preset with your desired video and audio settings. Select all of your clips in the Project panel > right-click and choose Export Media. Select your preset and click Queue. Once all clips are encoded in Media Encoder, Make Offline for all clips in Premiere and then Link Media to your encoded clips (via Export Media).
