Proxies and full resolution are not matching

[UrsulaG]

I worked on one sequence without proxies, but it was taking too long to work on it so I decided to make proxies for the rest of the project. However I noticed that when I switch views from proxie to full res the clips don't match the timing (they are the same clip, but the part in the sequence is not the one I had before). Some of the clips work just fine, but the ones I edited before I had proxies are all over the place.

How about when you turn off the proxies via the monitor button, is it playing back OK then?

[UrsulaG]

That's how I found out what was going on since the exported version didn't match what I edited. So I used the monitor button to check it. It's not with every clip, though.

How did you make the proxies.

[UrsulaG]

I right clicked the clip - Create Proxy - H.264 1024x540

This happend to me when I created 25 fps proxies for 50 fps original files using Mercury Playback Engine Software Only.

When using GPU it was fine.

The clips that I'm using was a screen recording - it was 23.46fps and after the proxies it became 22.93fps...

But I couldn't choose it on the preset - should I have created a preset for it then?

[Ann Bens]

That is the problem: framerate for proxies need to be the same as the full resolution.

Best is to make proxies inside Premiere: Select clip in Project window > right click > proxy > create proxy (use Cineform or Prores)

you might want to conform your sources to a standard frame rate before you make the proxies.  Certainly a smart move if you anticipating combining any of the material with other frame rates.
