Where is the proxy media

When I import my footage a choose to create proxy media. However when I create a munticam project and change preferences to use proxy media it says its missing.  I've got to be doing something wrong!!

AndyOllery,
You have a couple of choices concerning proxy media when you import your footage. Make sure you have actually created those files. See Transcode Media Files for detailed information.
To directly answer your question, your proxy files will live in ~/Movies/Final Cut Events/EVENT NAME/Transcoded Media/Proxy Media folder. (~/Movies assumes you are using your localstartup drive)
If you don't see the files in there, niether will FCPX. If you don't see them there, then use the steps in the above link to make them now.
Best of Luck!

  • Where did the proxy icon go?

    Hi All, New here.
    My company just upgraded to CS6. My job requires frequent placing of images from Photoshop into InDesign. I used to heavily depend on the proxy icon to shorten this step.
    For example, I would finish editing a photo, then save in Photoshop. The proxy icon would darken after file was saved. Then I would drag proxy icon into InDesign file, which would place the image into the INDD.
    Now, there is no proxy icon after I save my Photoshop documents. I noticed that the proxy icon DOES appear when I first open a document, but it disappears if I save it.
    - This happens with .jpg, .psd, etc. Not just one file type.
    - It ONLY seems to happen in PS--not IND or AI.
    This slows down my process considerably. I now must open a Finder window, navigate to the Photoshop document, and drag from there into INDD. Or I have to Command+D in InDesign and navigate to Photoshop document there.
    If this is a setting issue, will someone please tell me where to turn my proxy icon visibility back on?
    If this is something Adobe removed, PLEASE will you bring it back?
    Please let me know if you need any clarification. Thanks in advance.

  • Where is the Proxy Service deployed?

    Hi
    This is about the internals of the service bus.
    I want to see the deployment unit that matches the Proxy I have created.
    Where is it?
    Where in the CONSOLE (not the sbconsole) can i see it deployed?
    kind regards
    kambiz

    Proxy services except of jms transport are not deployed as standard j2ee deployment units - (ear, war, rar etc). Instead these deployment units are xml config files which will be understood only by the osb product j2ee applications. You will not be able separate individual proxy services from this.
    Proxy services with jms transport are deployed as MDB's under the hood and you will be able to see these deployments under wls console --> Deployments with random names.

  • I accidentally Imported the Proxy Media!

    Hello, I'm working on a music video and this was my first time using proxy media. I accidentally imported the proxy files, rather than going to preferences and changing it there... So it thinks that the proxy files are the actual files. I've spent many hours editing this video and i was wondering if there's any way to trick FCP X into thinking that when I drag in the actual video files to my project, and try to replace them with the proxies, that it thinks its the same file? If anyone knows a way around this, please let me know! I'm hoping I didn't waste 8+ hours editing this video -_-
    Thanks!

    Well yes. A duplicate name will have fcp1(and so forth) appended to the name. But I still don't don't know what which one is the low res file and which is the real original.
    I'm also not sure how you ended up here. When I tried a test project and event, I wound up with aliases to my proxy files in my Original Media folder. But I suppose how this happened is beside the point.
    If you try to relink, FCP will look only for the fcp1 files – whether you relink from the project or event. So I think your best bet is to get rid of those proxy files and rename each of the original files appending the fcp1.
    Since there are more than a few unknowns here, I think what I'd do is close FCP. Then In the Finder, create a new folder outside the event called hidden proxy or something. Move those proxies yo that new folder. Next, as a test rename one of the files in the Original Media folder. Launch FCP, and try relinking that single file from the event. If it works, open your project and see whether it sees the renamed file in your event.

  • Where are the proxy server configs?

    hi, i use java desktop to configure the proxy server, but now thsi desktop`not work and i use cde desktop, but i nedd to change proxy settings, �where i forund this files to make the changes that i need?
    thanks

    hmm, normally you just need to put a $http_proxy and $ftp_proxy in the .rc file of your shell;
    for tcsh; add:
    setenv http_proxy http://my.proxy:8080
    for ksh/bash:
    export http_proxy http://my.proxy:8080
    or
    export ftp_proxy $http_proxy
    note that its normally small leltters, i think this should work.

  • Where is the Proxy authentication?

    Hello,
    I'm having problems using Safari on Windows XP behind a firewall. The proxy settings are correct, as IE does ping the proxy server as expected and conencts to the internet. Safari has the exact same proxy settings, and I've noticed that Safari is refusing to ask for proxy authentication. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Safari multiple times and the problem is not fixed. Suggestions?

    An update here. I still haven't found an example of setting the CLIENT_IDENTIFIER from JDBC, but I did find an example of how to set it using the dbms_session package:
    If jdoe is the application user known to the middle tier but not to the database, then you can make this call:
    dbms_session.set_identifier('jdoe')
    prior to performing a DML operation. If the table accessed has auditing defined on it, then the row in the audit tables will have 'jdoe' in the CLIENT_ID column. This seems to work consistently.

  • Where are the iMovie media files kept?

    Can I access individual iMovie media clips to copy to another hard drive?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi
    Yes and NO
    a. If You imported a say 10 minutes of movie and use 1 minute of this as a clip in TimeLine.
    THERE IS ON Such clip at all. Only a reference note in Your movie project describing protocol
    eg use this (10min clip) from frame 00:00:02:00 to frame 00:00:03:00 (=1min)
    Ther is no such actual clip only the Non-tuched original import material
    b. To find what You imported: Find the movie project icon (with a Star on it)
    [ctrl-click] on this once and a menu will fold out.
    Here select "Show content of package"
    Now You see a new window with a folder named "Media" and in this is Your imported material.
    c. To just get the selected material You need to export this out as a full quality QuickTime movie
    Then import this into a new movie project.
    Now You'll only get the clip - but You can't extend it anymore though the beginning and end
    of the full (prior) material now is absent.

  • Where is the javax.media.j3d

    Hi I install Java3d JDK 1.4.2 but i have only one jar file with com.sun... utility java 3d package what I must do to have package javax.media.j3d?And do I can use java 3d to create games?

    Hi I install Java3d JDK 1.4.2 but i have only one jar
    file with com.sun... utility java 3d package what I
    must do to have package javax.media.j3d?For me it was straight forward process of installing the complete J3D. Extract the files to YOUR_JDK_PATH/jre/lib/ext and/or tell java via the CLASSPATH variable to use the jar's.
    And do I can use java 3d to create games?Yes...if you put some brain and effort in it. There are several projects in the web, which care about game programming using J3D. Try to google for them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Proxy media created after the fact

    In another thread I was trying to find out why my multicam clips were frozen in place in the angles viewer while I edited them in the timeline. One reader's suggestion was to convert the clips making up the multiclips into proxy media. I did so; right-click on clips and select "Transcode media..." then "Create Proxy Media." That all worked as it should (though it did not remedy the angles viewer problem) however what I'm wondering now is just what did I do to my project? I just blindly transcoded to proxy but what does that mean to the edit I'm doing? How does this affect eventual output? Could someone please explain the ramifications of this action?

    Just creating proxy media does nothing to your project.
    I suppose you also changed the preferences to use proxy media (Preferences->Playback, "Use proxy media"), otherwise you'd still be using the original or optimized media all the same.
    All the edits you make are preserved, whether you work in proxy or not.
    The usual workflow when you need proxy is simple:
    1) create proxy media if you haven't already (as you did)
    2) switch to proxy media in preferences (as I suppose you also did)
    3) when finished, switch the preferences again ("Use origina/optimized media") so that the final export is done in full quality. (In the meantime you can of course export "draft" versions in proxy mode)
    Note: if you switch proxy *before* creating proxy media for all the clips, you'll get the "offending" clips appearing in red with a yellow warning; if that happens, just create the proxy media after the fact and everything will be fine.

  • Proxy Media: Transcode Source File and Export Read File...

    Hello, I'm new to FCPX. I have a Panasonic HC-X920. When I shoot things I copy the entire folder tree to my hard drive and import from there, rather than directly from the SD card.
    I learned that FCPX "re-wraps" the truly original h.264 MTS files to "Original" h.264 MOV files. Not a huge deal, as there doesn't appear to be quality loss, and the MB/s rate is slightly higher on the MOVs. Ideally I'd be able to use the MTS files but FCP is Quicktime-based and I've decided I'm not worried about it.
    Anyway,
    My computer can't handle playing back 1080p 60fps h.264 footage. In order to have playback on an FCPX timeline, I have to transcode to either Proxy or Optimized media. Optimized, of course, takes up a ton of space, so I'm curious about using Proxy. But I want more info first.
    I'm most curious about question #1, but here are two questions:
    1.
    Let's say I transcode everything to Proxy Media upon import. When I go to share/export a final file from my timeline, which of the following does FCPX do?
    (A) Export the timeline using/reading from the lower-quality Proxy media, ignoring the Originals.
    (B) Automatically replace the Proxy media with the Original media files, and export the timeline using/reading the Original media files while ignoring the Proxies.
    (And if B is the answer, is it reading the Original MTS or Original MOV? I'd assume MOV, right?)
    Does this question make sense?
    I'll mostly be editing home movies with this, so it's not imperative that I be able to see what I'm editing in vivid detail and I can use Proxy for that to save disk space. But I DON'T want my final exports to be based on that lower-quality transcoded 422 Proxy Media; I want the proxies to be view-only, and I want the final exported quality to be based on the quality of the Original media.
    My other question:
    2. (probably not a big deal either way)
    When FCPX transcodes to Proxy and/or Optimized, is it reading from (A) the "Original" MOV files it created upon import, or (B) from the "truly original" MTS files?
    Thanks!

    Tom Wolsky, thanks for your answer.
    1. Where do I switch playback to original, in the Preferences? I'm attaching what I see in my Playback preference window. I don't see a place to switch this, am I doing something wrong?
    2. That's what I suspected, thanks for clarifying.
    Here's the screenshot I mentioned in #1:

  • Getting my head around editing in h.264, Proxy Media, or Optimized Media for Canon DSLR

    I'm trying to understand these different workflows, how they work, plusses and minues of each, with a focus on how it relates to file size.  Please help me fill in the gaps
    Here's what I think I know now.
    Optmize meda to ProRes 422
    Better for performance, but creates HUGE files.  On 30 GB worth of h.264 footage, the optimzed files were over 100 GB, not including any render files, etc.  I'm running off a laptop and only use external drives for storage, so I'd like to find a better way that uses less disk space and requires less time to convert (took all night for those 100 GB)
    Proxy Media
    Creates an easy to edit file that is very poor resolution and quality.  You can use this for editing, then before final export, switch back to original/optimized media and it will re-render and reconnect with the good media.
    QUESTION: If I ONLY do the Proxy optimization, do I need to also Optimize to ProRes 422 at some point also, or can I just have it refer to the h.264 .mov files and get equivalent results?  If I can, this seems like a good compromize.
    Editing directly with the h.264 footage
    I have read that some people are dropping the footage directly into the timeline and editing without any real problems.  Others say it will cause performance issues and to always optimize.  Ideally I'd like to do this way as it is the quickest (no conversion) and has the smallest file sizes of all of them.
    It would also be useful to start out this way and optimize later if I need to on the smaller sub-set of the footage.  But I have found no good way to do a rough cut with little editing and then select only those clips used in the timeline for optimization in case I start experiencing slowdowns.  Yes, you can clip-by-clip select them and "show in event browser," but you can't do this with multiple clips as far as I can tell.
    So what are your workflow tips for keeping file size down?  What am I missing in my understanding of these options?
    I'm on a 2010 MBP i7 (dual core) with a 7200 RPM drive for what it's worth since I know the h.264 one largely depends on the hardware.

    Proxy Media
    If I ONLY do the Proxy optimization, do I need to also Optimize to ProRes 422 at some point also ...
    Nope. You don't need to do the "Optimze Media" at all, you can use with the Proxy media for your working edit, then switch the references back to the Original media for mastering/export.
    ... or can I just have it refer to the h.264 .mov files and get equivalent results?  If I can, this seems like a good compromize.
    Exactly. And yes it is, an excellent compromise. Start working with the original media right away, but have FCPX create proxies in the background (which it switches to using as soon as each one becomes ready); if at any point you need to check a clip in place in the timeline in full resolution then you can just quickly toggle your general playback preference to "Use original", otherwise just edit away with the proxies and then switch that preference back to "Use original" when you are ready to output.
    Editing directly with the h.264 footage
    I have read that some people are dropping the footage directly into the timeline and editing without any real problems.  Others say it will cause performance issues and to always optimize.
    Yep, you can edit just with the original media if you choose but your source footage is H264, a dreadful edit codec by any measure, and certainly you will get much better timeline performance if you work with transcoded Optimized or Proxy media instead.

    If you color correct using the Proxy Media settings, are the changes you've made still going to be applied to the video when you switch back over to "Original Media?"

    Yes.
