Why use proxies

  • They can make choppy playback buttery smooth (even on an old computer).

  • They let you edit on different devices without transferring giant files.

  • They help you collaborate on edits with teammates in different places.

They’re crazy-useful, but it can hard to know where to start with proxies, so I’m giving you a step-by-step workflow along with free presets to make things even easier.
