Edit Proxies - Offline in FCP

[benbro]

Hi Everybody,

I tried to change the format of the edit proxy but all my tests fail. The only working settings is the default "Apple PRORES 422 Edit Proxy". As soon as I change the settings, to H264 or even a 422 Prorez 25% scale, When I do a check-out with Edit Proxy (Keep media with Project), all medias in my project are Offline.

If I go where the edit proxy have been exported, (ex: project/media/__FCS__localhost/dev/3/movie.mov) All edit proxies are renamed with a digit like 245_movie.mov.
The result is that I cannot relink my media in my FCP project since the name is not the same. In the clip properties/Format, the "Source" link to the wrong path + the wrong filename (point to the original filename, not the digit+filename of the edit proxy)

With the default Prores 422 Edit Proxy format, after the checkout, the "Source" is automatically changed to match the new edit proxy path + the automatic rename with the digits.
Why it does not do the same with other formats?

Got similar issues? Maybe just a settings to modify to make it works?

Thanks for your help
Ben

Edit Proxies should be the same frame size and frame rate as your original media. If they're not, Final Cut Pro will not reconnect them.

If you're using 1.5, the new ProRes (Proxy) format works nicely for this.
