premiere pro won't attach proxy

[yuzah29346022]

so I am working on this project that was shot on a RED camera in 6K.

the proxies are rendered in H.264 and it isn't giving me the best performance.

I went ahead and rendered in prores 422 at 1080p.

when the renders were done I went ahead to attach the proxies in premiere pro but with no warning, as though as I have successfully attached the proxies, the proxy media file name column is empty.

I tried attaching the H.264 one and they work perfectly heck I could even connect the 6K .R3D files as proxy but not the prores 422.

someone tell me what am I missing.

I tried both the standard prores 422 and the prores 422 proxy and both failed to attach.

I would have to check the audio channels again but I'm assuming its not as there was no warning message, if anyone has a solution please enlighten me.

Hi yuzah29346022,

We're sorry to hear about this. Have you tried creating ProRes proxies within Premiere Pro & checked if it's working properly? Also, please share a screenshot of the properties window for the R3D file & the ProRes proxies that you have created. 

Thanks,

Sumeet

after looking into the audio channel, I found out the R3D footage had 2 channels and I rendered my proxy with only 1.

I believe there was supposed to be a error message but there was nothing which was very misleading and hard to troubleshoot with.

So are you implying that the audio on the proxy and the original must be the same?

I have been trying and trying to attach proxies (I'm new to proxies) and it just doesn't attach. I have the Canon R5C, shooting in 4k 60 format, and then my 2nd card is recording the proxies. But I can't seem to get them into Premiere! Now I wonder if the audio is the issue?

Same as you, I don't get any message anywhere indicating there's a problem.
