Proxy / ingesting / interpret / slow mo

Almost two years on and still no fix for this within adobe.

Current work around is when creating proxy of said interpreted footage is to:

• quickly open Media Encoder and stop the playlist.
• Reset top clip (or any clips done)
• Delete any proxies made in saved destination
• Highlight all clips to be turned into proxies in Encoder.
•Right click and interpret footage to your desired frame rate.
• click play

Now you should have proxies at the right interpreted speed. Still a massive ball ache but essential if you are working with 4K footage.

Proxy media doesn't work with Interpreted clips.

So how do you create smooth slow mo?

isnt the normal workflow for making smokth slow motion to:

have original media at 60fps

create a 30fps sequence

interpret the footage to 30fps

drop clip on timeline which will now play at 1/2 speed smoothly.

if I do that with proxy the origjinal media is at the right frame but the proxy is still at 60

Issue outlined in this post:

Interpret Footage settings (frame rate) and proxy files?

It's unclear where you're having a problem.  Each proxy should be created at the original's fps.  If they did not match, adjustments made to the proxy could not apply to the high resolution file as well.

And, no, you are never supposed to create proxies at a frame rate other than that of the original media:

"The supported workflow allows attachment of Proxies with other frame sizes & PAR (pixel aspect ratio) combinations that are divisible by the Full Res clip (for example, 1920x1080 1.0 PAR Full Res and 960x540 1.0 PAR Proxy or 1440x1080 1.33 PAR Proxy), but other parameters such as fielding, frame rate, duration, and audio channels must match." (Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Ingest and Proxy Workflow in Premiere Pro CC 2015.3 )

If you mean the proxies PrPro now builds on Ingestion, you don't do squat with the PrPro proxies built on ingest ... other than use them. Have PrPro make them, make sure you've got the Proxy on/off toggle icon on the Program monitor's control set at the bottom of the Program monitor, and click it to turn it blue to playback/edit with the proxies, and toggle to grey to have the original media.

Everything you do to the sequence or clips is done to the original media. The proxies are only used for playback purposes.
