I am editing a documentary and after a few months of editing decided I needed to use proxies to edit. I went through my footage to create proxies using a custom ingest preset but when I would send them over to the media encoder occasionally (1 out of every 5-10 clips wouldn't be sent over with the ingest setting I created and would just default to Pro Res 422 4K or Adobe Stock 4k. The problem is that I am doing this with 40 TBs of footage and so I would batch select 50-100 clips at a time to send over from premiere to media encoder (using create proxies) and let it run overnight and didn't realize what it was doing until I checked that the proxy drive was running out of space. Once I noticed this I would go through every single source clip in the media encoder and make sure that it wasn't going to export as a Pro Res 422 file. Other times I noticed in the output preview that the queue had the right ingest settings but it was still exporting at Pro Res 422 4K. So what I've had to do is let media encoder work over night, go through the files and see which ones were exported not as proxies, delete those files, and recreate the proxies. I've had to recreate proxies for some clips 3-4 times. I can't figure out why it is doing this.
