Question

Once proxies are created, attached and toggled, the monitor panel doesn't show the proxy version.

[I'm using Premiere Pro 22.0 on a MacBook Pro OS 11.16.1, 2.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM]

 

It's my first time using proxies so I might be missing a very basic step here. I created the proxies, organized them in tidy folders next to the original clips, went back to Premiere e toggled them on. Some of them appear when I play back the timeline (I know cause I set up a layer of text to show that they're the proxy version, but also the image quality tells), others don't. Meaning that, with the proxies toggled on, the clip shown is the original high quality version (therefore lagging the playback).

 

I tried to reattach them to the proxies manually, but the problem didn't solve.

Things to check...

Within your project window make sure you are displaying metadata of "Proxy" and "Proxy File Path"

If all the proxies are attached I would ask what resolution/codec the proxies are.

One thing that is helping is some cases is to un-toggle the proxies and toggle them back on.

 

it works for some clips, not for others.

Do you move them after they have been created?

Absolutely not, they are where they've been created. If I moved them I would re-link them. Which I did even if I didn't move them, but it didn't work.

Very useful and in-depth. From the parts that I could comprehend, it seems to me to have done it right.

Dunno if I got your workflow right:

Did you monitor the progress panel for both copies and proxy jobs?

you will have to wait a bit until it is done. note that all proxy ingesting

is paused during playback.

Thank you for answering. I'm not sure I get what you mean though. As I mentioned, I'm new at this operation and not sure if I got it right. I followed the instructions in this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxjHFl3_BcM and it seems to me that things worked fine because I was able to color correct my 1h45' movie, which I wasn't able to do without proxies because the software would start lagging heavily. I'm just wondering why some clips show the proxy and some not, even if the process I've done has been the same for all of them.
