Proxy is attached? How can I know?

I am in love wth proxys now that I have learned about them, what I am not happy with is having any idea how or if they are actually attached. Before I saw a thread where there are available to be seen if "online" or "offline" but that must of been in an older version of premiere.

Other gripe was I had to discover to add the proxy button which imo should be a standard considering most people can't afford a multi thousand dollar rig to edit 4k video.

Moving forward in a sea of confusion, where can I "see" where proxies are attached in the latest version of premiere pro cc? I have awesome detail about what is what in the description, but nothing pointing me to that a proxy is attached.

I had to re-render through adobe encode three times and it somehow worked, not sure why, but that is another question.

I think that proxies should be put as the main focus on the next update as anyone trying to edit video in "trendy" 4k needs it to be the main focus for editing.

Sorry to gripe, and thanks for answering my question which should take zero research to find, where is the proxy confirmation option in the latest update?

Thank you

As has been mentioned, you can set Project Panel to List View and enable Proxy columns. Right-click on a column and choose Metadata Display (or click the Project panel wing/hamburger menu), then twirl down Premiere Pro Project Metadata. There are checkboxes that enable Proxy File Path, Proxy Media File Name and Proxy.

If you are in Freeform View, you can click Project panel wing/hamburger menu and select Freeform View Options. You can enable Proxy for Metadata Line 1 or 2.

When you get Properties for a clip, it will list Properties for the Full Res (listed first) and Proxy (below Full Res info).

You will also see basic Proxy Video and Proxy Audio information for clips in the Info panel.

You can find additional information on Proxy at: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Ingest and Proxy Workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Hope that helps.

Yes but as many people are saying having the proxies listed in the metadata is NOT an indication that they are attached or working e.g. if the timelime clip was to change colour when using a proxy that would be clear. I still get stuttering on my 4K footage when using the proxy toggled to blue which makes me think it isn't working (and yes I can see proxy metadata in the project window). When making the proxies nothing visible changes (except the metadata boxes which fill up). I guess putting a watermark on the proxies DOES show that you are using them so I will try that - but more work to do.

just curious, how can we add watermark to proxies? after they are made or during the creation?

I'm having a similar problem, and even though the project panel reads proxy attached, the project is still performing like the proxy isn't attached. I have changed metadata display in the project panel to include a column for "proxy". When I right click on the clip and "reveal in project" it reveals the original file, not the proxy, but I don't know if that's the file it's supposed to reveal if it's proxied or not. I am also looking for ways to check that the clip is for sure for sure proxied, because I don't believe it is.

I've read in other threads where this could involve just starting over with the project, or even re-installing premiere. Hoping it doesn't come to that.

Thanks
