If you’re reading this, I assume you’re a video editor and your computer keeps lagging when you playback clips in Adobe Premiere Pro? If this is happening, you are likely working with videos that have a large file size. Perhaps 4K, 6K, or even 8K footage? While these resolutions are preferable in order to capture high-fidelity images and colors, they are a burden on modern video editing computers. Some processors just don’t have the computing power to stream all that heavy data.<\/p>\n
Luckily, if you want to edit video with big beautiful footage without breaking your computer, this is one of those situations where you can have your cake and eat it too.<\/p>\n
Video proxies<\/em>, also known as proxy files, let you edit large videos without the lag and computational strain. Proxy files are lower-resolution copies of your original files. Creating a proxy of a video only takes a few clicks on your computer so let’s jump right into it. Check out the video below to learn more about Premiere’s proxy workflow. \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eg4kVvkLM00″ _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_cta title=”Need to Send Proxy Files?” button_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” button_text=”Get Started With MASV” module_class=”starttrial” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h5″ header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size=”27px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_color=”#222222″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#03c7d3″ background_color_gradient_end=”#222222″ background_color_gradient_direction=”206deg” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#222222″ button_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”50px” button_use_icon=”off” button_custom_padding=”10px|42px|10px|42px|true|true” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_horizontal=”-13px” global_colors_info=”{}” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover=”|2em|||false|false” button_border_width__hover=”0px”]<\/p>\n Use MASV to share large files and entire folder structures with your team.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1.5em||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Table of Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”7b1bf5ad-cc2a-4448-981c-4963d88bd6e8″ custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|143px|20px|141px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px||0px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_id=”what-are-proxy-files” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ custom_margin_tablet=”||12px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding=”1.5em||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||20px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A proxy video is essentially a smaller copy of your RAW videos.

You also have other options to modify and lower the size of your files. For example, if I choose H.264, you can lower the bitrate to the minimum so the footage is lighter. The footage won\u2019t look great but remember, these are just proxies and we just need them to edit faster.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px|-54px|||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|||0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n 4. A cool tab in this video is the option to add a watermark. Adding a watermark gives you a visual cue that you\u2019re working with a proxy file. Go to the \u2018Effects\u2019 tab > \u2018Image Overlay\u2019.

Imagine the time it would take if everyone on your production team had to send, receive, and work with RAW files exclusively? It\u2019s far easier to share video proxies and link the original files<\/a> at the end. It\u2019s faster too<\/a> as those original media files are probably being shipped over on a hard drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n But, there\u2019s a catch: proxy files are still big files. If you create a proxy video of a 30-min, 4K, 60 FPS file, you won\u2019t miraculously produce a 100 MB video. You still have to deal with hundreds of gigabytes \u2014 and that\u2019s where MASV comes in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Proxy-editing-MASV.jpg” alt=”A sample of two different networks when using multiconnect” title_text=”Proxy-editing-MASV” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”starttrial” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px|-54px|||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|||0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n MASV is the fast, easy, and secure way for filmmakers to share large media files<\/a> with clients, teammates, and collaborators.
