[shouvikburman]

You're are awesome with teaching helpful stuff.... you're just the savior of the day

[kaiwenlidirector]

This video brought me to your channel. Really helpful!

What's awful is premiere pro works flawlessly without codecs. Resolves seizes up so really want to know best proxy to be able to use it.

When I link to Sony generated proxies, I get an invalid proxy selected error. It says I have to select a clip with matching frame rate and time code…

In the futur there will always be Discussions for which purpose you need Proxies. The new Proxy-Generator in DVR 18b only allows H264/H265 Proxies, because its Focus is on fast online cooperation.

Good video Tony. What do you think about the new Blackmagic 6k full-frame camera?

[unseen_nepal]

what about in camera proxy in sony camera? i searched vid on youtube but couldnt find any. i m new to davinci,

[warrenwilcock]

Thanks for this. When moving to color grading or delivery, should we unlink the proxy media? Or will Resolve automatically export the higher res files?

Very useful for my nikon Z9.... With the new firmware 2.0 update it creates a proxy nice 1080 120p in camera... when shooting nikon raw


Thank you you just help me get it working in davinci

Great post mate...! I am a bit confused though. Davinci can create proxies in 2 different ways: 1- Ingesting using the proxy generator & 2- as you did from within the media pool, (after the files are brought to DAvinci), now.. When done from the media pool, the proxy formats available in the 'window" from "master Setting" option...are way more than when using the "generator" I suppose I should set both options: ingesting and from within media pool (for consistency's sake I guess?), with the same formats? in my case ProRess 422. You did on your video some kind of "linking" cutting & pasting the "link"... but when I do it as you did, (from within the media pool), the clips are already Proxies: they have an icon that show so. I think I don't need to link anything ... (unless I am wrong), what I can do yes, is "unlink" if I need or want to work with the "original" footage. The other point is within the Optimized Media Window where we have the proxy choices... it says: 1-Media resolution:Choose automatically 2-Proxy media format: (in my case) ProRess 422 3-Optimized Media Resolution: choose automatically and the last two 4-Optimized media format: & 5-Render Cache Format.... should the last two options be the same as the #2 option, "proxy Media Format"? (which again, in my case is ProRess422) Sorry for the long message! cheers! ;)

Resolve free version shows my FX3 files as offline. I can hear the audio but I don't see the video. So i can't generate proxies in Resolve if it can't see them. Would the full program show the FX3 clips?
Any plugin or software available?

[CarlosRuiz-kpge]

Hey Tony! I appreciate your insight! Does this work on free version of davinci resolve? Thank you!

[leminhluc]

how to toggle proxy quicky not my clicking on i prefered camera orignal ?

[oliveshaw-pm]

where can i find the project settings? please

[TheFalconking]

Can you color grade efficiently using proxies ? or it will not work the same way as with the original files ?

[yashpai]

and what about 8bit is DNxHQX is good???

[AllThingsFilm]

Am I correct in assuming that when you are delivering the project, Resolve will automatically use the original files for rendering?

[mrfroopy]

But for instance, the new M1 apple slilcon has hardware dedicated to 264 265 and so you don't have to worry so much.
