Proxy missing after Rendering, can't preview without lag.

[benjamínp3890996]

I'm currently working with high res (4k) files and using a proxy to make it run smoothly on my computer, one of the clips needs to be slowed down to 20%(to animate a stop motion), so after changing the speed it ask me to make a render (red bar on top) and runs twinkling, so I marked it with IN and OUT and then made an In and Out render, after that,  the proxy's pilar box are gone and I can't reproduce without lag again. Please help!.

Thanks

The built-in proxies don't work properly with time-remapped clips. There's a way to do it though ...

• In the Project panel, select the original clip/s that have been interpreted (time change) and need proxies
• Right-click, Proxies/create proxies; AME will launch, switch to that app immediately and ...
• Stop the encoding process in AME before it finishes, and select that clip then right-click "Reset Status"
• Select (all clips, if working a number of them), right-click and select "Interpret footage" setting the timebase to that of the modified originals;
• click the go-ahead arrow to process the proxies; when complete, all but the stopped/reset clip will show in PrPro as "attached" in the PrPro Project panel.
• For the clip that was stopped/reset, right-click on the original media clip/s in PrPro, right-click, "Proxies/Attach Proxies"
• Select the clip, then navigate to where the proxies are stored on disc, select, "attach" and voila.

Someone else posted this a while back, and I've tried it a few times. Takes a lot longer to type it out than do it.

And ... you have your time-remapped/interpreted proxy working perfectly.

Can you post a screen shot of your Sequence Settings?

Render uses master files (if available) hence loss of pillar box.

You could choose a proxy preset that is correct size (and thus lose pillar box on all)

or take master files offline

or render by exporting a file and putting on higher track & creating a proxy

PrPro doesn't use the proxies with time-interpreted clips. Or ... when it does ... the proxies aren't time-interpreted. To use proxies with time-remapped/interpreted clips, you have to do the process listed in my first post.

This is formally stated by the PrPro team, and my understanding is at some point in the future they will modify the proxy process to honor time-remapping of clips. When ... well, good guess. I'm not holding my breath however.
